The Vancouver Canucks for the 1st time this season resembled what they looked like in the playoffs. A team that communicated, played dirty for goals and never gave up. Not once during this game did the Canucks fall behind. Yes the Capitals tied up the game a few times, 3 to be exact but the Canucks always found a way to pull ahead. Three Canucks scored twice. Fan favourite LaPierre opened the scroing only to have Ovechkin tie it up. Higgins and Elder followed up to end the 1st 3-1. The 2nd period ended in a 4-4 tie with Edler scoring his 2nd of the game. But the real talk comes in the 3rd. Lou made the best glove safe I have seen all year. Henrik Sedin, Higgins and LaPierre scored in the 3rd to make the final 7-4 Vancouver. Ovechkin scored twice. But it was a game all about the Canucks. 13 of the Canucks were credited with points (there are only 20 dressed a game) and coach Alain Vigneault got his 350th win as a head coach. Chris Higgins leads the Canucks scoring with 5 goals this season. GO CANUCKS! The Canucks now head out on a 6 game road trip, stretching out over 2 weeks.
