Now That's Playoff Hockey!

There are so many words that I can use to discuss game 6 but I think one word can say it all…WOW!!! I don’t know what to mention first:

• Is it the 113 minutes of shutout hockey that Turco has been turning in?
• Is it the 220 - 199 shots on goal in the Stars favour?
• Maybe how the team is pulling showing what the true meaning of TEAM is?
• The fact that this is the first time the Stars have come back from the brink of elimination to tie the series?
• How about the Canucks coach’s statements on his team?
• Maybe Modano’s leading by example – hitting, scoring, backchecking doing it all and showing everyone what a complete player does
• And how about you – the fans! The standing-room only crowd of 18,600 was the largest of the season in Dallas!
  
  This IS playoff hockey! I love it, what a great game. Now I know some of you don’t like that its gone to game 7 because we should have had it in 6 but look at the fire and passion the guys are now playing with. And conversely look at the shape of the Canucks. We are just getting started and getting in to second gear. The Canucks on the other hand are sputtering and have pulled over to the side of the road. This isn’t to say that this is gonna be a cake walk. Look for the Canucks to come out fighting like its there last game of the season. Because it is! Our Stars are clicking but Vancouver is resorting to dirty play to try to frustrate Dallas. This is actually a good thing for us (If no one gets too badly injured) because it’s lighting the fire and preparing us for the battle of round 2.
  Here are some of the words from the Canucks following game 6:
  
  Coach Alain Vigneault:
  "If it weren't for Roberto, it would have been 7-0. It was not a good game on our part to say the least," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "As far as I'm concerned there was one team on the ice. It was the Dallas Stars. They outworked us, outhustled us. . If we bring this type of game or efficiency on the ice. I don't like our chances."
  Roberto Luongo:
  "They were the hungrier team tonight and they deserved to win"
  
  Now I am not going to say that we have this series in the bag but when the oppositions Coach and Goaltender are publicly stating that they don’t have what it takes to ba a winner???? I’ll let you fill in the rest of the story.
  
  GO STARS!!!
