GOALIES

VAN: R. Luongo (L) , C. Schneider
 BOS: T. Thomas (W)





            Last night in Boston, the Canucks came out battling but had a hard time beating Thomas. 12 minutes in, Peverley had a breakaway and scored five hole on Luongo to make it 1-0 Boston. With 1:25 to go in the first, Lapierre took the puck to the Bruins net and tried to beat Thomas five hole, but Thomas made the save. 30 seconds later, Ryder came into the Canucks zone and took a shot off the crossbar. So the score was 1-0 after 1. 9 minutes into the second, Ryder went back in to the Canucks zone and took a wrist shot and scored to make it 2-0. 2 minutes later, Bergeron played the puck to Marchand in front and he scored to make it 3-0.

        4 minutes into the third, Lucic came in on a 2 on 2 and played the puck to Peverley and it went off his glove and into the net. They would review it. But it was in conclusive due to they couldn't tell if the puck went off the glove because the glove is the same colour of the puck.  That was it for Luongo as he gave up 4 goals on 20 shots. So in came Scheinder ( who made 8 saves by the end of this game).So it was 4-0 Boston and that would be your final as the Bruins tie the series at 2-2. In the win Thomas made 38 saves.

          "When I personally got to see him in the locker room, I was incredibly happy," Thomas said. "It gave me a big boost. He was there to pass the jacket on. The team would have been happy leaving it with Horty for the rest of the series, but he wanted to give it away and keep the tradition going. ... Watching him going down, we want to finish what we started for him." The way the Canucks have to look at this is that it's a new series now. It's tied at 2-2 which makes it a Best-Of-three. They have to erase what happend in the first 4 and focus on winning game 5. Game 5 will be Friday night in Vancouver.
