For the May 4th edition of Clay's Canucks Commentary, I come to you from downtown Vancouver as the roof of BC Place is being deflated. The 28 year-old stadium will be getting a brand new retractable roof (too bad it wasn't ready for the 2010 Winter Olympics).
Like the roof of BC Place, I felt deflated after Vancouver's 4-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in game 2 of the their 2nd-round NHL playoff series. I name 3 things that concern me (burying chances, power play, and lack of firepower) and 3 things that are going well (penalty kill, Raymond, and Luongo).
I'll be going to game 3 on Wednesday night, and the Canucks were 6 and 1 in games that I went to in the regular season. So I'm optimistic that they will take series lead.
Music is "Hockey Night in Canada" recorded by Naturally 7 on their brand new CD "VocalPlay." (www.naturallyseven.com)
