This year was supposed to be different. Jim Benning was hoping this team would surpass what he did in his first year when they made the playoffs on the backs of Henrik and Daniel Sedin. I mean, the Vancouver Canucks General Manager said this year’s team was the best in the last four years.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but finishing 26th place in the league with 73 points seems a lot worse than the 101-point finish in their first year. Whoops.
In yet another injury-riddled season, we can still pick out those that fell well short of expectations.
