There are lots of things happening in Canuckland this season: one week we want the head’s of all of the front office; the next, we don’t reallly mind them too much on the whole. It’s to be expected with a team that has been built to ‘compete every night’. There are stretches of dark, dark days (9 games in November), and some really sunny days like today (4 game winning streak, new young forward).
And then there are the other guys... Phoenix Arizona has been a tire fire for the better part of the past 20 years having only finished in the upper half of the overall NHL standings 7 times over that duration.
