Started out pretty crappy in Nucksnation today. Not just because it was the 30th day of rain on the sopping wet coast, it was news of Double D’s forced retirement that brought more showers. Canucks are losing his grit, his never-quit energy and his over-achieving gutsyness which started us on the Westy Destiny path to the Cup. I’m not making this up. Ask Westy. He made it up. Or did he?
While regarded as a less skilled player, the post surgery-enhanced Derek led the team in goals to start the season. And in penalties. At least he ended his career on a winning note.
