A stellar effort by Roberto Luongo wasted by a team that took stupid penalties and spent far too much time chasing the LA Kings power play. The Game one disappointment in Vancouver was only exacerbated by the LA Kings PR department which took to twitter to stoke the fires of the anti Canuck movement across the NHL. Perhaps not a smart move by the Kings who might not have wanted to give the Canucks something to hang their hat on from game one, other than their selfish play that cost them far too much.
The Kings will head into game two hopeful to grab a two game lead in the best of seven, the Canucks will have to refocus if they hope to avoid the drama of must win situation in California.
Game Two-- Los Angeles 4 at Vancouver 2
Kings lead the series 2 games to 0
