"Oh, the unmistakable irony. The first team to be eliminated from the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs is the Vancouver Canucks. The team that came within a win of lifting the Cup two years ago. A team whose smugness face-washed outsiders the wrong way. A team accused of embellishing hits to draw penalties until, finally, it tossed the same accusation at the San Jose Sharks; a laughable turnabout that smacked of desperation...
"...few were thinking Vancouver would be beaten four straight in Round One. That it happened the way it did with all those penalties going against them, and all their stars out of sync, just made the ending seem all the more deserving.
There may be no joy in B.C., but the rest of the NHL is feeling pretty good about that."
