On a cloudy morning here in Vancouver — perhaps signalling the slow end of summer — I’m reminded of a line from the Rolling Stones.
You can’t always get what you want.
That is probably what the Vegas Golden Knights are thinking after outshooting the Canucks 43-17, getting 79 shot attempts, and losing the game 2-1.
That’s hockey for you.
And I don’t know why this blog started off so drearily. Maybe it’s the internal dread that we’re going to spend a fall and winter in unprecedented conditions. Or maybe it’s because the Canucks won’t be playing much longer if they get dominated like that.
