Vancouver needs to take needless penalties! Giving San Jose 10 PP opportunities is just asking for trouble. Vancouver did not deserve all of the penalties, but they definitely deserved some of them.
I thought that Vancouver had a chance to tie it up in the third, but they came up just short. They should at least take heart that they almost came back! That being said, San Jose totally outplayed them in the first period by a huge margin(the two penalties didn't help matters!). I think that Niemi helped San Jose in the third, but they had the Canucks on their heels for a lot of the game.
I wonder if Logan Couture is going to miss any time? He is a pretty important part of the Sharks. I may want the Canucks to win the series, but I don't wish an injury on a player of the opposing team!
