Vancouver Canucks Stumble in Coin-Flip Loss to Los Angeles Kings, But Playoff Prospects Remain Bright

温哥华加人队在抛硬币中输给洛杉矶国王队，但季后赛前景依然光明

Vancouver, British Columbia - In a game akin to a coin toss, the Vancouver Canucks succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night at Rogers Arena.

不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华 - 周一晚上，在一场类似于抛硬币的比赛中，温哥华加人队在罗杰斯体育场以 3-2 输给了洛杉矶国王队。

The teams traded goals in the first period, with L.A.'s Kevin Fiala opening the scoring and Sam Lafferty responding for Vancouver. However, the Kings seized control in the second period, with Blake Lizotte and Anze Kopitar netting goals late to establish a 3-1 lead.

两队在第一节就互有进球，洛杉矶队的凯文·菲亚拉首开纪录，温哥华队的萨姆·拉弗蒂回应。然而，国王队在第二节比赛中控制住了局面，布莱克·利佐特和安泽·科皮塔尔在最后时刻分别进球，以3-1领先。

Despite facing a two-goal deficit, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet gambled by pulling goaltender Casey DeSmith with over three minutes remaining. The maneuver paid off with a goal by Brock Boeser to bring Vancouver within one with 2:53 left. But that's as close as they would come. Despite ample opportunities with an extra attacker, the Canucks failed to equalize.

尽管面临两球落后，加人队主教练里克·托切特还是在比赛还剩三分钟多的时候拉下了守门员凯西·德史密斯。这一策略得到了回报，布洛克·博瑟 (Brock Boeser) 的进球让温哥华队在比赛还剩 2 分 53 秒时将比分追平。但这已经是他们所能达到的最接近的结果了。尽管多了一名攻击手，加人队有充足的机会，但未能扳平比分。

"It was low event [hockey]," Tocchet said. "There were eight or nine chances for each team – they just got a couple in the paint."

“这是低水平的赛事（曲棍球），”托切特说。 “每支球队都有八到九次机会——他们只在内线得到了几次机会。”

Canucks forward J.T. Miller conceded, "They played well. It was a hard-fought game. They capitalized on the little [amount] of looks that they had and they're a hard team to beat whenever they have the lead."

加人队前锋 J.T.米勒承认，“他们打得很好。这是一场艰苦的比赛。他们充分利用了自己的少量表现，只要他们领先，他们就是一支很难被击败的球队。”

While the loss was disappointing, it is unlikely to cause undue concern for players and coaching staff. In March, the Canucks have demonstrated a knack for winning low-scoring contests. Their consistent defensive performance is indicative of their preparation for the upcoming postseason.

虽然这场失利令人失望，但不太可能引起球员和教练组的过度担忧。三月份，加人队展示了赢得低分比赛的技巧。他们稳定的防守表现表明他们正在为即将到来的季后赛做好准备。

In ten games since the start of March, the Canucks have limited their opponents to two goals or less in eight contests, with only a 4-3 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche on March 13th and the loss to the Kings breaking that streak.

自3月初以来的10场比赛中，加人队在8场比赛中将对手限制在2球或更少，其中只有3月13日加时赛以4-3输给科罗拉多雪崩队，而输给国王队则打破了这一纪录。

Tocchet has instilled a defensive philosophy that emphasizes containing opponents' speed in the neutral zone, denying access to the inner slot, and eliminating cross-ice passes and back-door plays, allowing the goaltender to anticipate the direction of shots.

托切特灌输了一种防守理念，强调在中立区限制对手的速度，阻止对手进入内线，消除跨冰区传球和后门进攻，让守门员能够预测射门的方向。

"I just like players skating forward to defend," Tocchet said. "Backwards skating to me…you're on your heels. There are times when you have to skate backwards but for the most part I like everyone skating forward – even the defenceman sometimes. When you are connected as five, gaping up and skating forward it's hard to break through that. Most of the time when you get into trouble it's because your back-skating and opening up lanes."

“我只是喜欢球员向前滑行防守，”托切特说。 “对我来说向后滑行……你紧随其后。有时你必须向后滑行，但在大多数情况下，我喜欢每个人向前滑行——有时甚至是防守队员。当你们五人相连时，张开嘴向前滑行突破这一点很难。大多数时候你遇到麻烦是因为你的后滑和开路。”

According to Tocchet, another key to the team's recent success has been dictating the tempo of the game by playing at a high pace.

根据托切特的说法，球队最近成功的另一个关键是通过高节奏的比赛来决定比赛的节奏。

"I think it's when we play fast and don't let the other team to play in their structure," Tocchet said. "We like to advance the puck – let's go. I think once we start to hold it, massaging the puck or regrouping with the puck, I don't think it's to our advantage for us to play that way. I'd just rather we just break team's structure before they get into it. And if they are in their structure – which is going to happen – we will game plan on how to break through it."

“我认为这是当我们打得很快并且不让其他球队按照他们的结构进行比赛时，”托切特说。 “我们喜欢推进冰球——让我们走吧。我认为一旦我们开始控球、按摩冰球或与冰球重新组合，我认为这样的比赛方式对我们来说并不有利。我只是宁愿“我们只是在他们进入之前打破团队的结构。如果他们在他们的结构中——这将会发生——我们将制定如何突破它的游戏计划。”

With ten games remaining in the regular season, the Canucks are hoping that their focus on defensive play and pace will translate into postseason success.

常规赛还剩十场比赛，加人队希望他们对防守和节奏的关注能够转化为季后赛的成功。
