This is going to be a bit of a wakeup call. Tonight the Oilers can move to within 1 point of the Canucks with a regulation win. And yet, I feel fine. You should, too.
Maybe it's that I spent the entire time since the Canucks lost to the Flames last April preparing for this. Maybe it's because I can see the benefits. Whatever the case, the Canucks are looking good right now, and by looking good, I mean to finish last in the Western Conference. Fall from grace? Perhaps. More likely a dose of reality to years of moves, failed and otherwise, that combined with injuries and just plain dumb luck led to a perfect storm of futility.
