For the first time in Vancouver Canucks history, they have won a playoff series 4 games to 0. They completed their first ever playoff sweep tonight with an overtime win against the St Louis Blues. Alex Burrows scored his second goal of the night with 19 seconds left in the 1st overtime period, to give the Canucks the 3-2 win. Vancouver will now have to wait for around 7 days to begin their next playoff series, which has yet to be determined.
Roberto Luongo is now 7-0 in his last 7 starts, which include 3 shut-outs and only 6 goals allowed in those seven games. Though it appeared he may have been injured in the second period of tonight’s game, he battled through it and got the win. He seemed to be slow in getting to his feet throughout the remainder of the game, so hopefully it isn’t serious, though I highly doubt it was just “cramping” that he told to Scott Oakes of CBC Sports.
Willie Mitchell also battled through pain, an Henrik Sedin, who left the 3rd period in significant pain, also battled through and got the win for Vancouver.
What will we remember this series as being? One where the Canucks literally shut down their opposition. One where the St Louis Blues special teams didn’t hurt Vancouver. A goaltending duel between Chris Mason and Roberto luongo, who were the hottest goalies coming down the last stretch of the regular season. A record setting four game sweep. A precedent of things to come?
The Canucks are on top of their game right now. If there is a team to beat in this league, it is the Vancouver Canucks.
