Bring on the Playoffs

Is this the year the Canucks finally do it? The Sedins and the forwards look poised, but Luongo has been suspect lately and the defense, well, it wasn’t what it used to be but if Bieksa can play like he is capable of then anything is possible. Hopefully the Canucks learned a thing or two from last nights games in which 3 of the 4 home teams lost the first game. If all goes according to plan the Canucks should beat the Kings in 5 games.

Anyway, Henrik Sedin winning the Art Ross trophy is awesome. The first Canuck in our 40 year history to have the most points in a season. His 112 points also broke Bure’s franchise record of 110 points in a season. Henrik probably won’t get the Hart trophy which goes to the league MVP, but that’s okay, that is very subjective and he is at the mercy of the eastern media who don’t see many Canuck games. He has the trophy for the scoring title and nobody can debate that even if Ovechkin did play 10 fewer games. It will be interesting to see if Henrik wins the Pearson award which is given to the best player according to the players.

I was at the game against the Flames on Saturday. Thank you Flames for playing pond hockey, but that was possibly the best Canucks game I have ever seen live. It was capped off by this beauty of a goal by Daniel Sedin.
