The Canucks looked pretty bad in the second period last night - I think the 3-1 goal was the straw that broke the camel’s back - there could definitely have been a penalty called on the Wild for hauling Morrison down, and it resulted in a goal off the rush. Mind you, had the Canucks covered their guys properly on the rush, it wouldn’t likely have wound up as a goal, but then if they’d played some defensive hockey in the second, they might not have lost 7-2 :-)

I’ll update the playoff pool when I’m done with this post, so that people can see where they stand.
