Canucks escape by a hairline 5-4 OT against Ducklings

What a game.  It seemed all was lost when the Canucks were down 4-2 in the third period until Danny popped it into the gaping 6x4 after Ducks goalie Curtis Mcelhinney's noggin gets drilled by a point shot from Ehrhoff.  This was pretty ironic because the official nhl site is currently featuring past video clips of goalies making saves with their head.  After that incident, Darth Hiller makes an appearance in hopes to lead his team to victory.  What's with Swiss goalies and their black masks?


 
Canucks were on the verge of losing yet another one-goal game but Kesler with the net empty, ties it.  Kesler also had a chance for a hatty but came up short when he stopped practicing his baseball skills and whipped on his chance in OT.

A shootout was needed where Luongo has failed to stop a zamboni made Canucks fans all weary but he stopped 3 of 3 attempts to guide the Canucks to a 5-4 OT Win.  What a relief.
