With nothing else to watch in the post-season, The Copper & Blue have been tallying scoring chances in the playoffs. Scott Reynolds has been tracking the Canucks and Kings and points the finger of blame at one man in Los Angeles:
Vancouver - Los Angeles Game Six Scoring Chances
Puck in your crease? Maybe you should argue with your defender about whether or not to cover. Need to play the puck behind the net? May as well kick it. That didn’t work out? I guess passing it to the Canucks will be better. Shot from the point with no screen? I guess we’ll let the post handle that one. Three goals on fifteen chances isn’t necessarily bad, but Quick sure did look bad doing it and the tying goal was pretty weak. It broke my brain all series that Bernier wasn’t on the bench.And so it is every season, the importance of good goaltending is so much larger under the microscope of the playoffs, except this time it’s not Robert Luongo taking the blame.
