Hockey 2010-2011

[Captn Sacto]

I enjoyed the game tonight, glad to see Boston win. Entertaining, but the Bruins better play better next game. They were very lucky that the Lightning didn't tie the game. TB seemed to win every battle along the boards and totally dominated the 3rd period. I even thought the earlier parts of the game were controlled more by TB, but the Bruins capitalized on their opportunities.

The Sharks-Canucks game Sunday was entertaining. I think the Sharks had the better of the play in the first two periods, but the Canucks dominated the last period. Think the Sharks ran out of gas. I think the Red Wing series took a lot out of them, and Vancouver was well rested. During the series with Red Wings, It looked like Detroit was going to break-out and score a bunch of goals. Niemi wouldn't let them. Even with the Canucks controlling the 3rd period, I didn't get the same sense. Vancouver was the better team last game and deserved to win. Will see what happens next game. I expect another good game.
