"It went in, they just couldn't see it," Spezza said. "I said it right away to the ref, and he said he didn't see it. He said they'll get it right but he's covering the overhead (camera), unfortunate, but that's the rule."
The Canucks then struck for two quick goals to push the lead to 3-0. After the Stars turned over the puck in the Vancouver zone, Canucks forward Virtanen rushed off on a breakaway and slipped the puck through Bishop's legs to make it 2-0 at the 11:38 mark.
Tomas Vanek made it 3-0 less than two minutes later, getting free on the rush and blasting a puck into the net from the slot at the 13:27 mark.
Vancouver pushed the lead to 4-0 with a power-play goal at 4:41 of the second when Bo Horvat scored from the slot on a broken play. That ended the night for Stars goalie Ben Bishop, who stopped 16 of 20 shots, and was replaced by Kari Lehtonen, who would go on to stop 19 of 21.
Boucher tallied again at 14:35 of the second, deflecting in a Derrick Pouliot shot to extend the Vancouver lead to 5-0. Erik Gudbranson tallied on a shot from the point in the third to round out the scoring at 6-0.
"It was a good run there, five games in a row," said Bishop. "Obviously not our best effort tonight, but one of those things where you've just got to put it in the rear-view mirror and forget about it."
