COVID-19 is a very serious global issue that stretches far beyond the importance of any sport, but it still pains thousands of passionate Vancouver Canucks’ fans who feel robbed of getting the chance to watch their beloved sports team chase a season-long promise of making the playoffs.
The Canucks played their last game on March 10th in a 5-4 shootout win versus the New York Islanders and have yet to play any of their remaining 13 regular-season games since. The league shut down on March 12th and with the NHL pause firmly in place, it’s beginning to appear that the 82-game schedule the league was planning on keeping an option, its window of opportunity is actually narrowing with every passing day.
