Well, here we are... last place overall and rudderless. Mushyocrity has set in, and there are no solutions forthcoming. As Canucks fans, we are not shocked, surprised, or ever really all that upset. We are so used to this. What started as a promising season with hopes of a playoff round or two has us waiting for the bucket with the lotion to drop.
On the horizon, we have Hoglander and Demko returning. They will not save us. Midseason shuffling will not save us. Hughes alone will not save us. Clarise Starling and her Smith & Wesson Model 13 .357 Magnum revolver will not save us.
Lately, we've been able to wait until after the new year to get despondent about the season, but Christmas came early this year! Santa has given us all coal, and then shit down the chimney.
So why do we watch? Well, for me, it's Friday night in the frozen wasteland of Nebraska. But why would people shell out big bucks to watch the historic Vancouver-Utah rivalry? Tonight's game will be a lesson in how much pride this team can muster. They've had their rest, so will they come out and make a statement that there's still some 'thing' worthwhile here? Will they show management that they've got a solid crew and can turn things around? One game won't convince anyone, but for now - it's all we've got.
