The team is what it is....... they are not a playoff team. The team, with the exception of a handful of players, has no heart or character. Skill alone cannot and will not win you the Stanley Cup. Not that the team has a whole lot of skill, either.
My wife, in 94, was a die hard Canuck fan. She was insane - screaming, pounding on tables, etc. Last year, she was like, meh. I asked her what happened. She just wasn't into the Canucks anymore. She liked the 94 team. Players like Linden, Captain Kirk, Greg Adams, Bure, Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning, Dave Babych, Gino Odjick, etc. Character players........
I totally understand and feel the same way. This year's team; Malhotra I never understood, Kesler just turned into a rat. Schneider, Burrows, and.... that's about it. The rest of the team, just your run of the mill hockey players earning a living. The Sedins are not playoff players.
Don't get me wrong, the Canucks are still my home team and I will always root for them. Although it would be nice, I don't like the team that much.
