Thing that stood out to me in this one was how different it is playing Vancouver now. I used to dread those Sedin led cycles down low, getting caught in their own zone, relying on Kiprusoff to bail them out. Icing the puck. Drawing a penalty.
You never felt safe.
They're just not that team anymore ... don't seem to generate a lot of offensive pressure, or at least sustained pressure.
[caveat is that they played the night before and played well against the Bruins]
