FYI: VanCityDan is still locked out of the NM posting palace by the tight-fisted gatekeepers at Vox Media and isn't able to login and post his usual sunny recap. If he had his way, his recap would be full of hope and happy hat tricks of Megnificant beauty. And the Canucks would win the game, Nucks Nation would be great again and Xmas cheer would flow like Tequila Beets in a bottomless glass on the streets of Miami.
But, I'm not here to praise Dan, just here to cover for him. So stop reading now. Looking for a story of great team effort that creates those sweet five goals of roadtrip cheer?
