As a diehard fan of the Vancouver Canucks, I admittedly often forget about the human element of the sport.
It’s really easy to get swept up in the team’s current performance and their standings in the league, but we need to keep in mind that everyone on the team is still humans who have daily struggles like the rest of us.
