Matt Hewitt seems like a good guy. Any of us who played hockey have lived this scenario in our heads a thousand times. In our childish daydreams we somehow end up in the game and become the savior of the game or the series or the entire Vancouver Canucks season. It’s a great story.
But, it could easily become an unfortunate one.
Even the most die-hard, rose-colored glass wearing Vancouver Canucks fan sees the playoffs as a possibility, not a certainty, this year. One throw away game seems insignificant in October, but the points count the same at the end.
