It is silly season in the NHL.
It’s the time of year where we all see the world through rose coloured glasses. Everyone has lofty predictions about their team, as if we were all Marlin Brando retired in a Spanish Villa, spending our days sipping on sherry.
Even though silly seasons in the NHL grapples most fan bases, Canucks fans aren’t seeing the world through those same rose-coloured glasses. It’s hard to feel optimistic after two straight bottom-dwelling seasons. On top of that, prognosticators everywhere are picking these Vancouver Canucks to finish near the bottom of the league for the third straight season.
