Upon his arrival in Boston late Sunday afternoon, Canucks coach Alain Vigneault called Rich Peverley’s slash on Vancouver defenseman Kevin Bieksa in the second period of Saturday’s Game 2 a dirty play.

“Kevin didn’t get hit,” Vigneault said when asked about the Canucks matching the physical play of the Bruins. “He got a cheap shot in the back of the knee, so that’s totally different. He went down by something you don’t want to see in the game. But at the end of the day, we know they’re a big, physical team and we can play a speed game but we can play a physical game, which I think we’ve shown throughout the playoffs.”

Bieksa returned after limping to the bench and no penalty was called on the play. The Canucks outhit the Bruins, 40-31, Game 2 Saturday after the Bruins held a 31-30 advantage in Game 1.

    I suppose it’s even after the Burrows bite. Yeah that slash was trash. There shouldn’t be a place in hockey for that garbage and would be a shame to see either team in this series lose a player due to an unsportsmanlike play like that.

    At least he didn’t bite him! It was stupid but has Vigneault watch Peverly play. Pretty common place unfortunately. Dude can skate like the wind but he has hands and brain of stone.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I believe that you could do with a few p.c. to drive the message house a little bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
