Kings-Canucks: Game 4 Scoring Chances

Edmonton never had a chance at the playoffs, but that hasn’t stopped the staff at The Copper & Blue from tracking scoring chances in the playoffs. They have more on the Canucks victory over the Kings:

The Kings were dominating at evens for the first time in the series and still found time to add to the delightful comedy that is the Canucks’ penalty killing unit by scoring on their only power play of the period. Even after the Canucks managed to start the second by tying the game, they still hadn’t shown much at even strength and when the Kings got another power play and scored for the sixth consecutive time, it would have taken all of the energy in the world not to laugh at their misery. I didn’t have the strength. But then there was doubt. Vancouver tied it again in the second before the Kings regained their one-goal lead before the second intermission. By the time the Kings had squandered four good chances in the first half of the third period I was nervous like a fourteen year-old boy making his first play for third base. A three to one series lead seemed so close at hand. And like that, it’s gone.
