Canucks vs. Washington- Second Period

A decent period, though I think the Canucks were allowing Washington to take some liberties (Mr. Ovechkin may want to keep his head up in the 3rd). Nice to see they are still getting shots to the net, and the hard work is still prevalent. The 4th line of Isbister, Ritchie and Burrows has been good, but all 4 lines have had chances tonight. This game is probably the most reminiscent of last year's team of any game I've seen them play this year. Olie Kolzig is really holding his team in the game so far, and is going to need to keep it up if they want any chance of pulling even. And I have to say that maybe getting cross-checked in the head was the best thing that ever happened to Ryan Kesler, as he has continued to be one of the hardest working and most dangerous Canucks tonight.
