The Canucks won their season opener against Los Angeles 4-2
in exciting fashion. The game featured a career performance by Peter Zezel, who got
2 goals and assist, and narrowly missed a chance at the hat-trick after LA's D Doug Bodger
blocked a shot from a 2-on-1. Canucks' goalie Garth Snow was solid throughout, and
was particularily spectacular in the third period, stopping 9 LA shots to maintain the
lead. The Canucks looked to be in trouble after C Yanic Perreault scored two
short-handed goals, giving the Kings a 2-1 lead going into the third. The Canucks
came back with 3 unanswered goals, including an empty-netter by Mogilny. |
