BEST DISTRACTION

If only the Canucks got this fired up for blown calls in games that matter.

Asking me how many official’s mistakes I’ve covered over the years is like asking someone how many breaths they took yesterday.

But if the Canucks have ever been this definitive that a ref or replay official blew a call, I can’t remember the moment.

They were sure that third goal was offside, as was anyone who saw the play though I still haven’t seen a replay where you see the puck.

Henrik: “I thought it was offside, for sure. We have the screen on the bench.

“The only way it couldn’t have been offside is if the puck was in our end and then it came out over the blueline.

“That’s the only way I can see that it wasn’t offside.”

That is a strong as it gets right there, and it comes in some meaningless game in a meaningless season and it will all be lost in a few hours.

Damn. You couldn’t have come out swinging like that in 2011?
