WIN AND YOU’RE IN…
IT’S THAT SIMPLE FOR THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS…
THEY ARE NOW JUST ONE VICTORY AWAY FROM CLINCHING A PLAYOFF SPOT…
MUSIC TO THE EARS TO THE FANS WHO HAVE SUFFERED SO MUCH…
IN THE LAST 15 YEARS THE CANUCKS HAVE MISSED THE PLAYOFFS 6 TIMES…
INCLUDING 2 OF THE LAST 3 SEASONS…
AND IN THE 7 SEASONS THEY DID QUALIFY…THEY WERE BOUNCED IN THE FIRST ROUND…4 TIMES…
AND BOUNCED IN THE SECOND ROUND…3 TIMES…
OH…AND THERE’S THE LOCKOUT THAT WIPED OUT AN ENTIRE SEASON…
SO IT’S EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS SO MUCH EXCITEMENT IN THIS CITY…
THE CANUCKS ARE IN FIRST PLACE IN THE NORTH WEST DIVISION…
THEY HAVE WON 11 STRAIGHT AT HOME…
ROBERTO LUONGO IS NOW BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE VEZINA…
HEAD COACH ALAIN VIGNEAULT FOR THE JACK ADAMS…
AND ALEX BURROWS FOR TEAM CANADA…
BUT TODAY THE CANUCKS MAY HAVE RECEIVED THE ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT…
PIERRE LEBRUN OF HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA HAS APOLOGIZED TO THE TEAM…
THREE WEEKS AGO LUBRUN WAS DOING AN INTERVIEW WITH ROBERTO LUONGO WHEN SUGGEST THE CANUCKS WERE A “DARK HORSE” IN THE WEST…
HE PLACED THEM BEHIND…SAN JOSE…DETROIT…CALGARY AND CHICAGO…
LUONGO WAS NOT HAPPY…
HE RE-ACTED WITH THIS STATEMENT…”WE KNOW WE CAN COMPETE AND GIVE THESE GUYS A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY”…
TODAY LEBRUN WROTE IN HIS COLUMN FOR ESPN…QUOTE…
“MR LUONGO WE OWE YOU AN APOLOGY”…
IT TAKES A LOT GUTS FOR A MAN TO KNOW WHEN HE’S WRONG…AND EVEN MORE TO ADMITT IT…
5 MONTHS AGO…DON TAYLOR PREDICTED THE CANUCKS WOULD NOT EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS…
FOR 76 GAMES TAYLOR HAS REFUSED TO BACK DOWN…
SO TODAY…THERE ARE TWO QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED…
THE FIRST IS…
WILL DON TAYLOR FINALLY ADMITT HE WAS WRONG AND APOLOGIZE???
AND THE SECOND IS…
DO YOU…THE CANUCK NATION…WANT HIM BACK???
