Canucks' Desjardins doesn't blame refs for loss vs. Wild: 'We had our chances'
Anne-Marie Sorvin / USA Today
Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Wild was tough to swallow for the Vancouver Canucks after a controversial call in the third period robbed them of a goal.
The Canucks could have tied the game with their two quick goals later in the period if that initial goal was allowed, but coach Willie Desjardins took the high road after the contest and refused to blame the officiating for the loss.
Desjardins - "You're frustrated when the calls go against you, but the refs didn't beat us. We had our chances." #Canucks
