No car flags this year
So, the Canucks were put out of commission yesterday, losing to a team we haven’t lost to in regulation in 12 games. I was there, live, and let me tell you, we played with no skill, and worse, no heart. The Canucks have been a team that has been dominated as of late, giving up two goal leads too many times to count. The fact of the matter is, we did not deserve to even make the playoffs, and in the long run, not making the playoffs might be better for the organization as a whole.
But despite all that, I still wanted the Canucks to make the playoffs. Sure, we probably would’ve gotten swept by Detroit in the first round, you have to agree that playoff hockey is one of the most exciting times of the year in Vancouver. It just brings something to this city, it brings people together like nothing else. Its always the number one priority around here (like when I had a calculus final exam the day after the first Dallas playoff game, and sayed for the whole thing). The games are always more exciting to watch, and I love seeing the city decorated in Canucks merchandise, I’ll especially miss seeing car flags everywhere.
What should be done in the off season? I’m not sure at this moment. I’m hoping for a top 6 forward who is Canadian, that would be ideal, but there aren’t many options out there. If you guys want to see a good unrestricted free agent list, check it out: www.hfboards.com.
Lets all hope Nonis can pull another Luongo-esk type deal
