The Canucks season is already on the line. This set was win or die for them, with possibly the GM's job hanging in the balance, and the teams have been playing hockey for one month, with a bye-week randomly lodged in there for the Flames. Their best player of late and notorious Canuck killer Backlund was out.
The fact that they still pulled out an important win and 2 of 3 in this dire set for their opponents is good news. As someone said, the division leading Leafs coughed up a 4 goal lead to the Sens tonight. The on ice product is rarely polished after 1 month of play, for just about all teams.
We're collecting points at the end of the day in a results oriented business and game, that's good.
