Improbable Victory!!
Hitch had it right —-in his post game comments, Hitch noted that it was “games like this that make coaches go into scouting.” In an exhausting, gut-wrenching, insanely schizophrenic effort, the CBJ outlasted the Canucks, gaining a 6 – 5 shootout victory and 2 very big points in the last road trip before the All-Star [...]
