Again, the team could use more of a shoot-first system but I can see that they've noticed their overpassing tendancies and are actively trying to limit those from happening.
Pods had a great game, Im really happy for the guy and I honestly think he's here to stay.
Also,
PUT PODS ON BUMPER COWARDS.
shots were 40-18 for the Canucks. Most of them were great chances but mostly aimed right at Gibson. Score should have been much higher. We really needed to bury those.
According to ESPN's box score, we had Colin Delia in net.

Colin looked panicky for most of the game but he made great saves, especially when the D let the Ducks get in. It makes we wonder if limiting them to 18 shots got him nervous when there was a scoring chance. He was sure active with the pokes checks and managed to kill chances. Kudos - it was like Demko behind Markstrom when he just didn't get enough games in. And maybe
DeSmith sorry, I mean Delia, was out for revenge.
PK was incredible and looked really good playing 5 on 6 at the end.
D in general was fantastic. When we made mistakes and Anaheim suddenly had a chance our skill would rob them of the puck outright. It was just theft! We had no business doing that. And we shut down their top line embarassing them. Anaheim has no depth.
Good turnout of Canucks fans. Shorty again speculating a lot of people were making the trip to Disneyland. Good to see the Anaheim fans at the game now.
