With half the blue line out with the mumps, this was not the perfect time to play the Sharks and Brent Burns. He is having a helluva season, and the young Canucks were getting much younger for this one ( hello Evan McEneny. Good to see you, Hi Alexandre Grenier. How you been, Joe Labate ? And is that a Jordan Subban sighting ? ) all of which probably made The Bearded One look at this one as a points parade.
No matter. You have to play them all, and unlike us in the peanut gallery, or on our couch coaching, or being the fantasy GM-ing trading wunderkind who just needs someone on twitter to notice, the players do not care for this kind of talk.
