VANCOUVER — It was released before most of them were born, but that old Willie Nelson classic, On The Road Again, seems a perfect theme song for the Vancouver Canucks this season.
The Canucks hit the road again Saturday, heading for Chicago, where they begin a six-game trip Sunday afternoon.
By the time they return home in the wee hours of Dec. 23, the players will have spent 33 of the past 48 days on the road.
Daniel Sedin does not remember a stretch quite like it.
“This is probably the toughest period I can think of,” he says.
