Canucks Go Four Straight Against Caps
The Vancouver Canucks won a closely fought battle against the Washington Capitals last night win a 3-2 win at the Rogers Arena to make it four wins straight under John Tortorella!
The home side were given a lucky break after Alex Ovechkin was given a penalty shot for the Capitals after less an a minute played, but Roberto Luongo was on hand to save it and save Vancouver from going behind! Zack Kassian then put the home side in front after 11.31 played but the Canucks were quickly pegged back when Jason Chimera made things a tie game after 14.36.
In the second period there were no more goals, but both Luongo and Capitals goalie, Michal Neuvrith were kept busy making several excellent stops- Ovechkins bad luck in front of goal in this game continued when he hit a post!
After only 1.52 of the third period played, Mikhail Grabovski scored to edge Washington in front, but Vancouver had no desire to the fans going home disappointed and Ryan Kesler hit home a rebound to make things a tie game at 2-2. Even better things were to come when the fans urged Daniel Sedin to shoot from distance- he did and his excellent slap shot flew past Neuvrith to give the Canucks a 3-2 win!
So far the Canucks have had a few purple patches which will hopefully see us through to the playoffs- but we will have to learn win on a more consistent level- and more importantly learn to win against San Jose!
