Vancouver and their fans have been absolutely humbled in recent years. They were internationally outed as unsavoury hooligans and in the aftermath of them tearing down parts of their own city in that epic hissy fit the league as a whole seemed to catch on to their gut-less approach to the game. They were shamed on and off the ice. They're now clearly an aging team with a few years of declining on the horizon before they tear it down and become bottom feeders.
Hard to feel anything but sorry for both of them at this point. |
Sad that the on ice high point was the off ice low. Ouch
