The Canucks have been a hard working, always in it team this year. Sometimes it is with verve and élan, and sometimes it is grinding the hell out of a game and relying on one of two solid goaltenders, but a game versus the Canucks is a tough one, regardless of records.
They are close enough that a run would do wonders, and tonight was a chance to make a point against the Connor and the McDavids. ( sorry, reflex. There is no sports media in any sport that can hold a candle to Canadian hockey reportage when it comes to overkill.
