One more thing- this was one of the tamest Hawks/Canucks games in recent memory.
Good on the Hawks for staying out of the box yet again. They learned the hard way in that regard.
But aside from a few solid hits from Van, there was no real grit to the game at all. I've read and heard a few people say that Vancouver Boston is now the premier rivalry in the league (which I dismissed) but maybe it is and now the feud with the Hawks is fading a little. Tonight's game didn't have the sense of urgency or the playoff atmosphere that these regular season matchups have had in the past. Still a good game with 2 good teams playing, but the physical play was missing.
Really need to see another Chi/Van playoff matchup this year.
"Tame" is a good word for that one, especially compared to the last. But I thought it was also fun to watch. Lots of end-to-end action, although more of it in Vancouver's end in the 2nd and 3rd, which is good to see.
