bout the past - I don't feel like we've embellished calls, and we feel like it's going the other way. The (Sedin) twins get hacked and slashed and whacked more than anyone, and if they ever try to draw a penalty or embellish it, they're called on it by everybody."Five-on-five, we're the better team. Their power play's been hot. We've been giving them too many chances. There's guys on their team, two guys in particular, that are embellishing a lot of calls, making it tough on the officials." --Canucks D-man Kevin Bieksa on Sharks forwards Logan Couture and Joe Thornton"There's two guys on the other team doing the exact same thing. Right now they're getting the calls and they're making it tough on the officials. These are tough calls for officials to make because they're not sure of the extent of the damage,Nike Air Max 2013 Blue, they're not sure if they really get them on the wrist with the slash. It's not the officials' problem. This is about playing the game with integrity and not trying to do whatever you can to draw a power play."Center Joe Pavelski gave the Sharks an early 1-0 lead with a 5-on-3 power-play goal. Canucks wing Dale Weise was in the box for roughing and Dan Hamhuis for slashing Thornton.Couture scored a pair of power-play goals in the third period. The first came during the continuation of a cross-checking penalty on Jannik Hansen from late in the second period. Hansen actually disrupted Thornton on a breakaway, saving a possible goal.Couture scored his second power-play goal in the third after Canucks captain Henrik Sedin high-sticked him in the face-off circle then punched him in the face. Couture didn't retaliate with his fists, but 21 seconds later he got even by scoring a goal, putting San Jose ahead 5-1."I think early on in the game, you want to be aggressive," Henrik Sedin said. "We crossed the line a few times. In the third when the game is over, that's frustration for sure. That's what happens in the playoffs when you're down. But it's early in games. It's every game. The first game, we were up 1-0 late in the second. We take a penalty, they get the momentum. It's every game. We got to play 5-on-5 tomorrow. That has to be our main focus. I think we've played better than them 5 on 5."
UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Jarome Iginla spent parts of 17 seasons as the go-to guy for the Calgary Flames, on and off the ice.A star player and overall leader on a club that was often outside the hockey spotlight, the fact he forged what will surely be a Hall of Fame career is a testament to his skills.None of those seasons ended with a Stanley Cup championship, and the Flames haven't even made the playoffs since 2009.
