Ex Canucks ( 3 of them ) & rest of a Duck gang & add in a very poor outing by our goalie & it's 5-0.
Ducks are very positional players. Canucks were rushed to make plays & shots. That's why Miller looked so good. He just had to stay in the net & play the angles.
When he was a Canuck he 'd be flopping, he'd over react on plays & be 5 ft to the side of the net...
Plus when he was our #1 goalie he had the pressure on his shoulders. On the Ducks he is the back up & Gibson is the #1 guy.
Kesler forward Biexa defense ( sp? ) are physical guys & play with attitude.
Nillson looked really awkward. He flopped a lot & was outta position. He's a minor leaguer & not ready for the NHL pressure.
Wife just had a baby so maybe the kid is crying in the middle of the night. Not proper sleep possibly.
Nillson may be better in road games where he had a sleep at the hotel.
When the Canucks had the puck in the Duck zone they just had zero time to set up. Ducks were on them like sticky fly paper. When the Canuck had the puck at the blue line the Duck player would be on him so he had to pass it away quickly.
Ryan Miller played it cool & relaxed & was always in position. Canucks play the same game which is skate & pass & shoot. To get the Ducks off there positional play the Canucks needed to throw some heavy body checks but they just do not have the big physical guys to do it.
Toronto were goo goo ga ga also in their game. No goals for them either.
Edit In:
Nova --- ya these Canucks will even get the non drinker to consider a glass or two
Recommend a $15-$16 red wine Merlot French wine.
Or a Pinot Noir French Red wine same price range.
