The Canucks Hit The Road

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
The next 20,743 kilometres (12,899 miles) will make or break the season in Vancouver.
Toronto. Montreal. Ottawa. Boston …
You never know what the turning point is until your season is over. Then, only when you look back, can you identify it as something that took the team north or south. Once hindsight kicks in.
But as the Vancouver Canucks step out for what is, technically, the longest road trip in National Hockey League history, it couldn’t possibly be in a better position to turn this Olympian road trip into a positive. With six straight wins the Canucks aren’t just leaving Vancouver today for Toronto on charter aircraft. It’s like they are being shot out of a cannon.
Tampa Bay. Florida. Columbus. Minnesota…
The only scary thing for Canucks fans however, is this:
Can it get any better for a team that has gone 17-4-2 since Dec. 10?

Although it will be the longest roadtrip in history, Canuck fans can delight that we will be playing a ton of eastern opponents during this trip. Over the last 5 or so years, the Canucks have come to dominate eastern opponents, and this year is no exception. The Canucks are 9-1 against eastern teams this year, and if history is any indication, they don’t plan on changing that.

Canucks are kicking ass and taking names. Following up a Saturday Night thrashing over the Mighty Blackhawks with a tight win against the pesky Blues shows their flexibility and ability to win against different types of teams consecutively.
This whole Burrows saga has seemingly rallied the troops, Us against Them (even HNIC is now the enemy). The guy is a tactical genius…

They don’t have to get better they are beating everyone right now.
Fun to watch.
