Canucks sin and redemption

Just watching the second period of the Canucks and Tampa Bay game tonight. The score was 3 to 1 for the Canucks with one minute left in the second period. Things get a little loose towards the ends of periods, and sometimes if a team is on the ball it will take advantage of loose play and score the 'dreaded' last minute goal. So, sure enough, Tampa Bay scores with a great rush with 31 seconds left. Stamkos drives in shoots, the rebound comes out and Lecavalier puts in in the back of the net. Defensive unit breakdown...sinful behaviour for the Canucks. Then, with less than 2 seconds left, the Canucks don't give up and take the puck into the Tampa Bay goaltender and Ryan Kessler comes charging in and virtually pushes the puck past Roloson. Redemption.
Sin and Redemption in the last minute of the second period. What a great way to think about sin, a breakdown of morality and redemption, a reconnection with morality! Yeah!
