In the back of the mind of even the most ardent fan, the thought of what would happen if the Canucks got into injury trouble was always a concern this season. They just did not have the depth of years past, after all. Or, if the kids struggled at times, what would happen in a league where the line between winning and losing is razor thin?
Those things have come to fruition, of course. As I wrote last week,the Canucks can still make the playoffs ( the stated goal of the team for this year ), and are still in the hunt.
