The Canucks had a bounce back season that was a welcome cool drink after the pale fire of The Lost Year...
But the Canucks lost in the first round. Again. This is not about the Canucks at the moment, however. Watching playoff hockey is watching the best hockey. You don't just watch it, you experience it. At least when your own team is involved. But once you can set aside your personal fandom for your team on the sidelines, it is glorious to watch, breathtaking in the skill and will displayed night after night. Even for a neutral fan.
