Some Clarity?
Posted on 22 Mar 2009 by Mark Gage.
“It’s only fitting that in Vancouver’s worst game of the season, the Canucks gave up their worst goal of the season. That goal, the one that will have Canucks fans cringing for decades to come, was a prime example of how much puck luck Vancouver had on this night in a 5-1 loss to Phoenix.” Those are the words of the most over-dramatic hockey writer I have ever read, one...

The good news keeps flowing for the Canucks as their best player was their best player for the first time in a long time in last night’s 3-0 shutout win over the visiting St Louis Blues for the team’s 11th straight win at GM Place.
