In fact it took until 14:35 of the first period before they registered a shot. It was not due to bad play either as they had several glorious chances but failed to hit the net with their shots.The Oilers broke the goose eggs, nine minutes into the second period as Marty Reasoner banged home a loose puck from a Fernando Pisani shot. Early in the second period the Oilers lost Jarrett Stoll as he took a Steve Staios clearing shot off his ear and was escorted to the Oiler dressing room for stitches at least. Stoll did return and at 18:30 of the period blasted a one-time past Luongo. It was a perfect feed from Marc Pouliot and the power play unit only took 25 seconds to cash in.Roloson dominated in the third period making 13 saves off 14 shots The Canucks then went into self destruct mode.
Down by one and with Luongo on the bench, Henrik Sedin took a hooking penalty behind the Oiler net. A weak call, yes, but not much different that the ones that the Oilers had been called for all game. Then with less than 30 seconds to go, with the Canucks' net empty and the Oilers on the power play, Alexandre Edler killed any remaining hope by taking a slashing penalty. With 18 seconds left, the Canucks were down a goal, and they didn't even get a sniff.The Oilers finished their season dragging the Canucks out with them..

The bank is holding its annual meeting Wednesday in its Charlotte, North Carolina, hometown, and shareholders are to vote whether Lewis should stay on the board, or at least give up his job as chairman.Much of the opposition to Lewis’ reelection focuses on the bank’s troubled purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co. On Tuesday, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), the largest U.S. pension fund, said it opposes Lewis’ reelection as a director.GREATER PERILWhile the 19 banks are not expected to “fail” the stress tests, investors may consider those ordered to raise capital within six months as having failed. Citigroup’s preferred share exchange could leave taxpayers with a 36 percent stake.SEEING IT THROUGHPandit last week told shareholders at Citigroup’s annual meeting that the bank would rebound and repay every dollar to the government, adding, “I intend to see this through.”Lewis, meanwhile, has said his bank did not need half of the $20 billion of capital it took in a January bailout.Both banks could bolster capital by selling assets.
