VANCOUVER - Ryan Miller sat alone at his locker-room stall for a long time, pondering two lost points for the Vancouver Canucks.Justin Williams and Jarret Stoll scored 53 seconds apart late in the third period Thursday as the Los Angeles Kings roared back from a 2-0 deficit midway through the game to stun the Canucks 3-2.The goals came on the Kings 39th and 40th shots of the night as Los Angeles took advantage of a sluggish Canucks team that was coming off a big 3-1 road victory over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.One of the more disappointing games in a while, said a downtrodden Miller. Just blew it at the end.Its frustrating to get to 57 minutes or so and blow it.Williams tied the game on the power play with 2:07 left in regulation with his ninth of the season and first in eight games on a great shot over Millers shoulder before Stoll buried the winner — his fourth of the campaign and first in 13 — with 1:14 to go.We gritted it out and sometimes at the end of the game you look and say All right, that was justice because I feel we dominated the game, said Williams. We had the better opportunities and we were able to show some resiliency, some resolve and not give up.Dwight King had the other goal for Los Angeles (19-12-8), which got 14 saves from Jonathan Quick.Losings disappointing, but we didnt play the way we wanted to. Thats more disappointing, said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins, whose team was outshot 40-16. I think if you play the way you want to and you lose ... that happens sometimes. We didnt play the way we needed to play.Radim Vrbata, with a goal and an assist, and Alexandre Burrows scored for Vancouver (21-12-3), which was only in the game thanks to some key saves from Miller in a 37-save performance.We stopped playing. Being up 2-0, I dont know if we felt comfortable or what it was but it wasnt good enough, said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. You cant expect to win when you get outshot 40 to something. Its not good enough. We know that.The Canucks have been outshot 103-51 in their last three, including that win in San Jose and a 2-1 overtime loss in Anaheim against the Ducks. Theres going to be stretches like that, Miller said of the lopsided shot margin. Well clean it up. Well get better. Its not always neat, tidy and clean during the season. Youre going to have disappointments. Unfortunately tonight we couldnt at least get a point out of it. Thats pretty frustrating.The Canucks carried a 2-1 lead into the third despite being outshot 30-10 through two periods, and Miller had to be sharp again five minutes into the final period on a shot off the stick of Stoll on a 3-on-2 rush.It looked like Vancouver was going to hold and get off to a winning start in 2015 before Williams and Stoll scored in quick succession to turn the game on its head as the Kings improved to 5-8-6 on the road and leapfrogged the Canucks in the Pacific Division standings.It was nice to get the two points and not give them any, said Stoll. Good road game by everybody and hopefully we can use this as a little springboard for road games and get our road record going. It feels good.The Canucks penalty killing unit had been lights out in recent weeks before defenceman Ryan Stanton took a hooking penalty with under four minutes to go that led to Williams goal.Its definitely tough. I dont think we had our best effort tonight, but to let it slip away at the end there definitely hurts, said Stanton. I dont think we moved our feet much tonight. Its quite the difference from the San Jose game the other night.Vancouver was up 1-0 after the first and doubled that lead at 3:39 of the second when Vrbata buried his 15th of the season and second in as many games over Quicks blocker on one of the Canucks two shots in the period.Los Angeles would direct 14 pucks on Miller in the middle period and finally got on the board when King chipped home his own rebound at 14:39 for his fifth goal of the season.Earlier in the period, the Kings hit their second post of the night when Anze Kopitar found iron on a Los Angeles power play.We got out to a lead but we sat back all game. I think they pretty much had control of that game for the most part, said Canucks forward Brad Richardson. In the end you still should have that win — pretty disappointing.In those games youve got to find a way to get a point. Thats what teams do. Thats a huge point, two we should have had and we lost them both.Vancouver was just 2-9-3 against California teams last season — one of the big reasons the club missed the playoffs for the first time in six years — and are 3-2-2 this campaign through eight games.Im sure theyre frustrated because they had a 2-0 lead, said Kings head coach Darryl Sutter. But thats how the division is.Its so close. It comes down to a big play, a bad goal or something almost every night.The Canucks opened the scoring at 12:18 of the first period on the power play when Burrows poked a loose puck past Quick for his ninth of the season.Prior to that breakthrough there were a number of chances at both ends of the ice, with Tanner Pearson ringing a shot off the post behind Miller for Los Angeles less than two minutes in before Quick stoned Richardson moments later.Theyre a good hockey team. They played hard, said Desjardins. For whatever reason we didnt have our jump. Youve got to think if its one guy then maybe its a guy, but I think it was the team. Maybe we didnt prepare quite right but we werent good as a team.Notes: Los Angeles downed Vancouver 5-1 on Nov. 8 at Staples Center. The teams meet three more times this season. ... The Canucks continue their five-game homestand Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, while the Kings open a season-high seven-game homestand against the Nashville Predators.

In a 43-game stint, he batted .293 with nine homers and 25 runs batted in with a .953 OPS. He played spectacular defence and seemed to have a skill for pumping up his teammates and electrifying the crowd. You had to ask yourself how Milwaukee let him get away in that trade for right hander Shaun Marcum? But in the last two seasons, Lawrie has gone through some growing pains. Hes had injury problems, some awkward in-game moments, such as throwing a batting helmat in the direction of an ump, and the berating of a teammate for a perceived miscue on the bases. (Lawrie was wrong). On top of that his production has dropped off, to the point where some have wondered if that blaze of glory in his first stint with the club was a fluke or a flash in the pan. The thing to remember is, Brett Lawrie is only 24. Skipper John Gibbons suggested this week that Bretts peak performance years could still be a couple of seasons away. If you go by a couple of third basemen from the Blue Jays past, Gibbons may well be right. Kelly Gruber spent nine years with the Jays, hitting .259 with 114 homers, 439 runs batted in and 80 stolen bases. He was stolen away from Cleveland in the Rule 5 draft and spent his first couple of years as a Jack-of-all-trades utility man before becoming the primary third baseman in 1987. At age 24 for the Jays he hit just .196 with five homers and 15 runs batted in. It took until 1990 for him to have a star impact season. At 28 years old, he hit .274 with 31 homers and 118 RBIs. Gruber was still the starting third sacker for a division title run in 1991 and for the Jays first World Series victory over Atlanta in 1992. Ed Sprague offers up another example of a player who peaked in his late 20s. Sprague was the Jays regular third baseman for six seasons. After Gruber was moved to the Angels, Sprague took over at third in 1993 at 26. He hit .260 with 12 homers and 73 runs batted in and was a key member of the Jays second straight World Series victory over the Phillies in 1993. Still he didnt have his first really big year until he was 29, when he broke through with 36 homers and drove in 101 runs. Yes there are exceptions to the rule...guys who hit the ground running and continue to thrive practically from the moment they arrive in the Majors. Two of those kind of guys enjoyed brief stints with the Blue JJays in the last decade.dddddddddddd Troy Glaus came over from the Diamondbacks along with Sergio Santos in a deal for right hander Miguel Batista and infielder Orlando Hudson. Glaus played third for the Jays for two seasons in 2006 and 2007. As a 22-year-old with his original club the Angels, he hit .240 with 29 homers and 79 runs batted in. At 24 with the Halos, he upped his power numbers to 41 homers and 108 runs batted in. Glaus had a good year with the Jays in 06, but his numbers fell off a bit in 2007, and he ultimately asked for a trade since the artificial turf at Rogers Centre was playing havoc with his back. The Jays dealt Glaus to St. Louis for another standout third baseman in Scott Rolen, who had had a falling out with Cards manager Tony LaRussa. As a 22-year-old with his original club the Phillies, Rolen - arguably the best defensive third baseman the Jays have ever had - hit .283 with 21 homers and 92 runs batted in. Rolen only spent one season with the Jays, at age 33 before asking for a trade to the U.S. midwest to be closer to his family. He wound up going to Cincinnati in a deal that saw the Jays land two pitchers, Zach Stewart and Josh Roenicke and a guy named Edwin Encarnacion. The point of all this is, Lawrie is still young enough to take off the way Rolen and Glaus did, or he may take a little longer like Gruber or Sprague. If you want to pipe dream a bit, consider Royals legendary Hall of Famer George Brett. At 24 he batted .312 with 22 homers and 88 runs batted in. The bottom line on Lawrie is, with the defence he plays, and the infectious hustle he plays with, the Blue Jays will be very patient with him indeed. The real Brett Lawrie could even emerge this season, if only he can stay healthy. Spring Roots The Blue Jays may not be leaving their spring training home in Dunedin after all. About a year ago a story first surfaced that the Houston Astros were talking with the Jays about teaming up with them on a new two-team state of the art facility in Palm Beach County on Floridas east coast. The Astros lease with Kissimmee, Florida runs through 2016, so the target date for moving obviously would have been 2017. However a local group of citizens didnt want any part of having this type of complex in their area and threatened a lawsuit. So now the Astros are looking elsewhere in Palm Beach County and are now talking with the Washington Nationals about being their potential partners. ' ' '
