Losing Streak. 1 straight. That's not so bad.

First... some good news.

Canucks won the 1st period! And the 2nd period!

On the scoreboard!

Gave up 3 goals in the 3rd to not win that period. Oh well.

Thanks for reading!

Like some other games, this game was 20 minutes too long.

In the 1st, Nucks jumped out to the commanding 1 goal lead off the heavy work of the Rig and the sleek deke work of Pete. DOC scores off the rebound.

In the 2nd, the commanding lead is promoted to even more commanding. The 2 goal lead. Safest lead in hockey.

Not pointing fingers at the refs in this game. They have a tough job to do. Calling the faintest of Nucks infractions while ignoring Sharkie's high sticks and slashes. Easy to get the jerseys mixed up and expect a nasty call from the NHL Room of Doom.

SJ has their PP running at 25%. For those don't enjoy mathing, means that they get 1 PP goal for every 4 chances at the Macklin special time. Surprisingly, the Nucks PK killed 4 thru the 1st and 2nd... Asking to kill a 5th in the 3rd. Well... Ref math wins the Law of Averages game.

Still Nucks were leading after 2. Something like only the 2nd time in 15 games, so might have felt unfamiliar. And kinda fun too!

In the 3rd... that period that gave us so much Nucking madness last game, just made us mad, as after SJ scored on the early PP, the Nucks looked more like the 10 L-streak team we're kinda familiar with.

Worse the sharp-shooting Sharkies added 2 more goals 30 seconds apart later in the period.

Nucks did push back in the final minutes, but no loser point, only the loss. Oh well. No point getting too greedy so soon.

Wild finish!

Lost the lead, which sucks, but still entertaining. I'll take that.

It was really nice to watch an entertaining game this season. It feels like we've started back upwards...?? Maybe? Please?

POST GAME CHATTER!

Good start in the 1st... and 2nd... and the 3rd? Moving on.

Win or lose, remember to keep the vibes rolling!

I am keeping this feeling with me for the rest of the year.
