Canucks Take Game 2 Of The Stanley Cup Finals In OT

It was a good thing that the Canucks's Alex Burrows was not suspended for biting the gloved finger of Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron in Game 1 so that he could stick around to score the winning goal in tonight's game at the Rogers Arena. The Canucks won 3-2 and are now up 2-0. The winner came on a wraparound goal 11 minutes into the extra period, allowing Burrows to beat both goalie Tim Thomas and captain Zdeno Chara.

The evening also saw the return of Manny Malhotra, who had missed 2.5 months of the season due to a left eye injury. The damage was originally thought to be season ending and possibly also a career killer.

The Canucks and Bruins will play Game 3 in Boston on Monday.
