From the game recap at Canucks Army:
It was made evident almost immediately that this game would have a playoff-like feel. And no, not just because it was likely to be a low-scoring affair thanks to LA’s ultra-boring neutral zone trap and overall style of play.
And
The next couple of minutes were absolutely thrilling as the Canucks pushed to tie things up with DeSmith pulled once again. It was high-event and entertaining. It was everything that the LA Kings despise.
The comments are actually more thoughtful than the article. Will have the WTS up tonight.
