Bobby Lou With The Save of the Playoffs


Charlie Klein 

If you have not seen this play, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Move over Tukka Rask.


For the Vancouver Canucks last night, it was the usual recipe for success. Extra on the Sedin, with a pinch of Luongo does the trick one more time. The Sedin twins were responsible for two of the three Vancouver goals including the winner. The win also marked the 13th time this season that the Canucks have trailed going into the third period and have comeback to win the game. 

After the series was finally settled and most of the fans had left the rink, a relieved Roberto Luongo told CBC jokingly that he only plays when it matters. The same could be said of his team last night. The Canucks showed up when it was most important and now await (in all likelihood) the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round. Whatever happens next, I do not think many Canucks fans will forget the save Luongo made on Ryan Smith, which for all intents and purposes kept the Canucks alive in the game and perhaps in the series.
