VANCOUVER - The Canuck power play entered the playoffs on a pretty little 11-for-33 run but, in Game 1 against the Calgary Flames, it went 0-for-3 in what turned out to be a one-goal loss.
So what happened?
“We didn’t have enough motion,” Canuck point man Yannick Weber explained Thursday following practice at UBC. “We kind of kept it on the same side for a bit too long and it’s tough to open up those shooting lanes in the middle. I think if we rotate to the other side, it will open up a little bit more.
