The Canucks needed to win last night. It was considered game 7 of a playoff, but the game was over in the first period. Now we head into sudden death overtime in the next three games, and it will not be easy.
Coming up, back to back games with San Jose, and then Edmonton. Could we make this anymore of a nail bitter? Yes, we can! We’re going to need help in the forms of losses for Edmonton and Colorado. Everything needs to slide into place for Vancouver to make the playoffs.
If we don’t, what happens next? Crawford, Nausland, and Bertuzzi are names people keep talking about in very negative terms. I’m not going to point any fingers now or later, but you have to think that something is going to happen. The league has changed a lot this season. Don’t be surprised when things shift in your own neighborhood.
