Losing Streak. 3 straight. That's not so bad.
But for iffy reffy Nucks might have won. Nucks PK would still have lost.
First... some good news.
It was an entertaining game... pretty much to the end.
Could have gone either way... and almost did.
Thanks for reading!
NOTE: Short non-recap recap due to having to catch up with contests in elections and lakes of America.
Game didn't start badly. Didn't end horribly.
Two guys in that need a boost: Rossi and Lankinen. Put on a good showing tonight, guys!
-- Thursday
Rossi got a primary on the PP. And Leakinen upped his SV% to .773 from 750, so that's progress.
Ducks got 2 goals in the 1st. Nucks got 2 goals in the 1st and Ducks only got 1 goal.
Because Ohgie scored twice... but didn't.
Because it's a Nucks stick lift, it's a penalty and because it's the Ducks 34% effective PP and Nucks PK, it's a Duckie goal.
Another weak call against. Bah!
-- Thursday
And another Ducking PP goal.... FFS!

In the 2nd, well... it was a 2nd period in the ROG. Nucks PP gave up a shortie. Nucks PK gave up a goal. How special. Karlsson scored, so that was good.
Nucks went down 5-2 early in the 3rd, so that set the ice for...
Jake to score on the PP. And scored again. As the Rig's shot grazed him to make 5-4.
Flashbacks to last week's comeback win in Disneyland was not to be in Lotus Land on Dawali Night in the ROG.
Canucks didn't just fight back on the scoreboard. They fought the fights too.
Cotter and Oleksiak had fights too.
Nucks also scored before/during a fight... so confusing.
Ah, dang!
Big pushback, but another loss. Special teams and that accursed second period ended the game for them.
-- Thursday
On the bright side... basement is secured again. Thanks, Lankx
Still entertaining game with strategic result. That's good.
