Before focusing on this game, I want to talk about Saturday’s game and the fake controversy arising from it. From the second Elliotte Friedman complimented the players, coaches and management in Vancouver for staying the course despite being under siege daily in the media, I knew Jason Botchford would have to respond. The very last thing he can have is people reflecting for a nanosecond on the validity of the media siege he leads almost single-handedly in this market.
So he led off his soap-box column questioning how on earth the Canucks could go in to the Saddledome dressing only five defensemen.
