I want to apologize for this column being a little late, I was too busy reading all the apologies from hockey journalists who jumped to conclusions about Alex Burrows yesterday. What? The sarcasm font doesn't work in these posts? Hmmm. Alright then. On to the issue at hand. I suppose one way to tell if the Canucks aren't gonna win a game is to watch the top pairing of Alex Edler and Chris Tanev. They've been really damn good this year, but Friday night they stunk up the joint. They both seemed to not have an answer for the Blues, and hopefully that's just them collectively having a bad night and not some kind of foreshadowing.
