Tom Benjamin’s post-mortem on his own Vancouver Canucks
by Quisp •
Vigneault deserves points for putting in Schneider. I thought it was weird at the time, but it turned out to be a stroke of genius that could easily have won the series for them. Had the Canucks won game 5 in OT, the odds of the series going seven games would have been pretty good.
