There sure is a fascination with all things Canucks these days. If Calgary had drafted a small, soft, bad attitude, stock falling Shinkaruk instead of Poirier, I get the feeling the media would be pooping on the pick. They'd say how the Flames went with the hometown kid to appease the fans even though all the other teams passed on him.
Yet, when it's the Canucks who take him, he is some god and the next great scorer. It's almost like TSN is pandering to Canuck fans to drive viewership.
I guess it's just cooler to be a Canuck fan these days then a Flames fan.
