Red Wings-Canucks quick take: karmic balance?

Maybe the Vancouver Canucks? fans can at least argue that they got some karmic retribution despite dropping a 4-3 shootout decision to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

The Wings out-shot the Canucks by an insane margin through the first two periods (30-11) and out-shot Vancouver 43-25 overall, but the Wings went 0-for-4 in 8:00 of PP time and surrendered 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 leads to a Canucks team that certainly felt that its one power play should have a zero next to it.

It?s not that the Wings were dirty?the Canucks and Wings played a game that was equal parts high-flying offense, grit and grime in a generally clean manner (perhaps the low-bridge attempt by Keith Ballard which drew Todd Bertuzzi?s ire excluded from a Wings fan?s standpoint), but even I can?t deny that the Wings got away with a few hacks, whacks and high sticks that should have resulted in penalties.
