I feel bad* for Canucks fans.
Right now, they are feeling good, thinking to themselves that if they somehow solve the RHD problem - aka the Tyler Myers problem - that this team could make playoffs and even do some damage. Enjoy actually meaningful games in the spring, instead of watching them throw away draft position with meaningless wins in garbage time.
But beneath those good feelings, subconsciously, percolates a sense of dread among all Canucks fans.
Knowing that if there is one thing that this team never fails to disappoint in, is to always disappoint.
Whether it is an injury to one of Demko/Petey/Hughes, or just another collapse of systems play and tuning out the coach, or whatever the case may be, every Canuck fan knows that the season could unravel at the turn of a dime.
And if the season unravels, Petey is gone.
And with Petey gone, Miller will eventually be overwhelmed with despair, and his play will suffer.
And Hughes will demand out.
And the next half decade will unravel, the team just good enough to again miss out on great prospects, but lucky to even sniff meaningful games in March.
Such that the mediocrity purgatory that Benning and his psychophantic fan club inflicted on the team will not last just one decade, but a second decade as well.
