Well, there is a lot to talk about from last night’s game!

If there was a single turning point Monday, I thought it came late in the first period. I thought when Vancouver killed the five-minute major the Canucks were going to go on a rally. Boston had some good chances on the long power play but Roberto Luongo stonewalled them and made some big saves. Then it looked like after that, Vancouver took control for the last few minutes. Tim Thomas held them in there and did a great job.

Mason Raymond made a great move and got robbed point-blank by Thomas. I thought if Vancouver could have capitalized late in the first it could have been a different game.

As far as the hit goes, having played [in the AHL] a little bit with Romer [Aaron Rome] I know he’s not a malicious type player. Things happen so quickly, I’m sure Romer was counting one-Mississippi in his head with the intention of finishing a check. Knowing Romer, I know it wasn’t his intention to hurt someone. Obviously he is concerned for him and he reached to Nathan Horton today. I’m sure Romer knows now, looking back, that Horton was vulnerable, and I’m sure he would take it back if he could.
