PERIOD 1Turnovers.Fragility.Team tentativeness.Aggressive play but being penalized for it.Boo'd all over the ice.That was period 1, as the Wild lead 2-0.Kyle Clutterbuck got under the Canucks' skin. What a pain in the ass he is.You can see the difference between the 2 teams. The Wild lost to the Oilers last night, yet they waltz into GM Place and play a really confident and loose first period. The Canucks are forcing every play.I'd have to give the Sedin-Pyatt line some props in period 1. They were pretty solid.PERIOD 2Well, then Clutterbuck (I call him Clusterfuck) gets too aggressive and takes a boarding major on Alex Burrows. Game misconduct. The Canucks took over the momentum from that point. The Canucks had over 7 shots on the 5 minute PP but scored not.Ryan Kesler had to crash through Niklas Backstrom to cut the Wild lead to 2-1.When the Wild started putting on pressure, Luongo made a massive blocker save on Bouchard. That looked like Kiprussoff's save from yes...
