BLUES 3, CANUCKS 2
You can't win 'em all, but man...
Scoring goals tonight for the Canucks were Jason King and Todd Bertuzzi.
The Canucks scored first in this game in the first quarter, but only 50 seconds later, Pavol Demitra tipped the puck in past Dan Cloutier to tie it. What really screwed the Canucks, though, was the cheap shorthanded goal by Steve Martins (don't believe me, believe the radio guys) Cloutier gave up to make it 2-1 Blues. That was noooot good. I'm anticipating Cloutier getting run over by the press and Canucks fans tomorrow.
The Canucks, true, are the class of the NHL so far, but in three big games on the road (Detroit, Minnesota, St Louis), the Canucks are 0-2-1. These guys need to win the big games on the road. More importantly, Cloutier needs to not give up cheap goals. Lemme tell you, the callers on the CKNW postgame show get all over Cloutier because apparently he does have a habit for giving up untimely cheap goals. But anyway...
