Canucks believed but did not see it through

CALGARY -- It wasn’t just the fact their season had ended, but the way it ended. That’s what really stung.

The Vancouver Canucks had a 3-0 lead and blew it. That’s not supposed to happen to teams in the playoffs. Not good teams.

They scored on three of their first four shots and it looked like the Canucks were on their way to forcing a Game 7 -- seventh heaven everyone would have called it -- in their series with the Calgary Flames.

Instead, all hell broke loose and the Canucks face yet another long summer.
