BRUINS 2, CANUCKS 1 (OT)
Guess what, kids? The Canucks haven't won a big game on the road yet this season. This from a team that was great on the road last year.
The top line of Morrison/Naslund/Bertuzzi had six shots all night, and none of the six shots occurred after the second period. Not good.
The Canucks went 0-1-0-2 on the road trip, coming away with a lucky point the other night in Philly, and the one tonight in Boston.
The Canucks scored a measly 4 goals on the three-game road trip, and three of the goals were scored in Philadelphia.
The Bruins this game from the second period on, controlling the physical game and controlling the puck itself as the Canucks were chasing the puck around most of the night.
Dan Cloutier was awesome tonight, as he was peppered with pucks by the Bruins and stopped 37 of 39 shots. The Canucks were outshot 39-24.
Lone Vancouver goal tonight scored by Jason King, his 10th of the year to lead all rookies, assisted by Dan Sedin to open the scoring. Unfortunately, that's all they would get because Andrew Raycroft was busy stopping all but one Canuck shot on the other end.
Home cookin' will be coming for the Canucks with Montreal Tuesday, Chicago Thursday, and Toronto Saturday to continue the Canucks' stretch of seven games against Original Six teams.
