Issue #90 — The End of the Beginning
Woop Woop. It’s over. We win. We win. We win.
It’s over. Finally I can move on with my life. Move on with my poor tender little heart. Lick my wounds and grease my chops for another off-season filled with remorse and a Greek Chorus of coulda, shoulda, wouldas.
And then we won it all. The regular season that is. Here I was, all set to kiss good-bye to another season. Another year filled with crushed hopes and dead babies. Much to my surprise little of the usual suspects have materialized this year. The Canucks have been consistent. There is not one me-first player on the squad to steal the spotlight. It is a well oiled machine ready for her first real post-season test.
Historically the Canucks have never won a championship because historically we were never really good. Even the called contender teams in ‘94 and ‘03 never had the talent laden roster. Now we do.
What will we do?
