I agree with you. It has been similar. The main difference has been Dallas's more aggressive defense. Had the Canucks been more aggressive on defense they could have easily been up 3-1 as well. Demko isn't the answer. Giving up 40+ shots a night and expecting your goaltender to stand on his head for extended periods of pressure night after night isnt the way to win hockey games.

I'd also like to add that the reffing in this series has been clearly biased. From the goalie leg sweep last game that was ruled a good goal to the late 3rd period 5 on 3 advantage tonight, the refs are trying to do everything they can to keep VGK in it but Dallas is still winning. So many blatant non calls against VGK tonight especially in the 3rd.

I couldn't agree more. Dallas is having all the same problems the Canucks did against VGK entering their zone but the reason they're winning is because they're also limiting VGKs shot attempts with aggressive D. GMJB said in the post season presser that the plan moving forward is to play a system focused on defense. I HOPE that doesn't mean always collapsing down low into a 4 man box and letting the opposition pepper the net like what we got going on currently.

What they did in Game 2 was play a different system. They tried exiting the zone as a 5 man unit providing puck support all the way up the ice. It worked so well. TG said it was the game plan prior to the game. Why they switched back to their old garbage system in Game 3 is beyond me. This isnt a chip and chase grinder team. This is a fast break skill group. The coaching staff should learn how to utilize that.

Honestly I thought we played pretty similar to the previous game. Hard in the 1st, dominated in the 2nd and 3rd. The only difference was we didn't convert our chances in the 1st so we weren't defending a lead. With how aggressive VGK is on the puck we need to make them pay with odd man rushes back the other way. That is the key to beating Vegas.
