In a crazy game that was more than worthy of Halloween, the Canucks got themselves in a hole, opened up a wide lead and then gave it up, all before two periods were said and done. By the end of overtime, it was 6-6 and time for a shootout, one that was tied 1-1 after two shooters apiece... And then it was a cardio workout for the goaltenders as it went to the 13th round without another goal being scored.
The Ducks resorted to Francois Beauchemin. The Canucks stooped as low as Henrik Sedin. I was waiting for Garth Butcher to step on the ice until Mattias Ohlund skated in from center ice and ended a 22-shot scoreless drought for both teams with nothing less than the patented Trevor Linden laser-sighted shootout wrist shot. When all else fails, ask yourself... What would Trevor do?
