In light of the big game on Sunday, I think I'm going to have to call a 15 yard penalty for piling on here.
Let all those Canuck fans who have fallen off the bangwagon speak now... there will be no room for you in two months.
Even myself, I said in the preseason that the Canucks would be lucky to go further than one round with the team they had at the time. Since then they have added a great top 6 forward, and may add another piece closer to the deadline.
As long as they can find a way to get into the playoffs, I really love the makeup of this team. There's no doubt they are in a terrible slump, but they have the tools to get out of it. They just need to find Mats a permanent home, and gel.
Just for the record, if they do turn it around, I won't gloat... so I hope nobody brings this post up if they end up drafting Hedman in June
