00:02 - NHL hockey.

00:05 The reason we were not on last night

00:06 is because we went to game seven.

00:09 I probably shouldn't have.

00:10 As deep down inside,

00:11 I knew that the Vancouver Canucks were a lot of trouble

00:14 going into the arena.

00:16 I didn't have the same feeling.

00:17 Like I've been to other playoff games this year

00:19 or I was all fired up.

00:20 And oh, they're gonna win.

00:21 They're gonna win.

00:22 (laughs)

00:23 Last night was more like, well, they could win.

00:26 Maybe they could win.

00:28 Or Sealoff can steal the game and man, he nearly did.

00:31 What an incredible performance from that,

00:34 the 23 year old goalie.

00:34 Like that was just spectacular.

00:37 The first period saves that this kid was making,

00:40 but the Vancouver Canucks, too little, too late,

00:43 too many times in the series.

00:44 I think that's just the best way of putting it.

00:46 Too little, too late, too many times.

00:48 Right?

00:49 Like how many times in this series

00:50 did we see the Canucks get dominated?

00:53 And then in the last 10 minutes of the game,

00:55 they would just be like, you know, balls to the wall,

00:58 skates on fire and scoring a bunch of goals.

01:02 You can't survive like that.

01:04 You can, you know, you can extend life a little bit.

01:08 Look, they came back.

01:09 They were down four, one in the first game.

01:10 They came back with the wild comeback.

01:12 They came back against Nashville a couple of times.

01:16 You know, you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

01:18 It was just too little, too late.

01:20 But I tell you what, it was pretty crazy

01:22 when they scored that second goal last night.

01:24 And looking up, it was like, man,

01:26 there's still like four or five minutes left in this game.

01:29 Right?

01:30 But they just, they just couldn't get that third goal.

01:33 No excuses, 'cause as I stated, you know,

01:36 in the playoffs, people are gonna get hurt.

01:39 It is what it is.

01:40 It's a war of attrition and it's not fair.

01:43 It's not, it's not cool.

01:44 It's too bad, but that's why you have to have depth.

01:48 Right?

01:49 And the Canucks overcame not having Thatcher Demko.

01:53 Like Demko could not have played better than Silovs did.

01:56 Right?

01:57 And Silovs wasn't perfect all the time,

01:59 but goal tending wasn't a problem for the Vancouver Canucks.

02:02 Not having Brock Besser in the final game was.

02:05 That was just like the final, just sort of,

02:09 man, you know, you're losing your best goal scorer

02:11 right now, going into a game seven.

02:13 It was far from ideal.

02:15 (upbeat music)
