This is going to be a painful year. The Canucks are going to stockpile the Ls. Any win is simply part of the scenic route on our way to a bottom 2 finish. Since we're taking the scenic route, let's try to enjoy it. Maybe Goldobin does things this year. Maybe Pouliot learns to think. Perhaps we can expect some nice dangles from Baertschi. Horvat could really boom this year and solidify himself as a top line player. And Pettersson. Eliash Pettershon. A golden god in swaddling delivered from Valhalla to fight back the darkness. May his light shine bright and cause glare on the phone screens of those few Canuck fans sitting in the front row of Rogers Arena. Let his brilliance banish even the dark scourge of Pouliot, and bring smiles to the children's faces. Let us say hoorah, for He has come and He is good.
