Canucks vs. Washington- First Period

Finally we see a full period's worth of work and the Canucks truly deserve the 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Pyatt's goal especially was all about hustle and hard work, and holy crap is Willie Mitchell playing mean tonight. You know guys are going to be weary of going into the corners with Big Willie when he has his game face on. Bobby Lou looks good, and apart from the Naslund penalty, a 100% improvement from the last game so far. More after the second period.
