The afterglow from Wednesday was still glistening off our fresh little patch of smugness. #1 in the league for at least a day. Top of the Pacific for another day after that. Parade planners were calling us. Sportynet commentators saying nice things about us. Well...not us, us. But the team and the way they played on opening night. The way they play when EP is in the lineup.
Already the paid-to-pu pundits were gushing about how Elias has the wrist shot of Sakic, the shifty unpredictability of Forsberg, the nimbleness of Kariya and...well... you get the idea.
In many ways we’ve already won the season.
