Throughout their recent (and past) history, the Canucks have been mentally weak...the definition of front runners (as are their fans!)...things go against them, and they melt down.
In the game thread, I had mentioned that Bieksa and Hamhuis are prone to retaliating, and they did again tonight. You can add Edler to that statement too...
It is easy enough to get them off their game...Ferland did it tonight...they just can't seem to handle "Pest" players (think Bolland in series against my guys)...and Ferland has more physical presence than that.
THEIR "pest" player...Burrows...lacks the self-discipline for the role...and ends up HURTING his team, instead of actually getting into the heads of the opponents.
Good game...Good Win for your guys...I hope they keep it up.
Thanks again for letting me hang, here at CP...I hope both our teams are still alive in the Playoffs, when I can chat live, next weekend! Working 2nd shift means I don't get to watch weekday games live.
