After last night's 1-0 loss to the LA Kings, the Vancouver Canucks are on the verge of being swept in the first time since 2001 to the Colorado Avalanche. My quote after losing to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals was, "We will be back next year." Well, this would be something I really want to take back now.
This team dominated in the regular season but the Presidents Trophy had been a whole lot of concern. From Day 1 on, I kept telling people that the overrated trophy is not something that the Canucks would want to get. Yes I do believe in the Presidents Trophy curse, I don't care if people aren't superstitious. I've got facts to back up my statements. Detroit Redwings 2006 over 120+ points. San Jose Sharks 2009, 53 wins. Washington 2010, 120+ points. And now the Vancouver Canucks 2012, 51 wins.
How does being #1 in the league even make you proud? We already got it last year and nearly choked it all up. "But we will have home ice advantage" Well, how did that turn out? We lost both at home! So that statement is so irrelevant. Home ice advantage has no meaning if you don't win!! Remember 2010 playoffs against Chicago? 0/3 at home!
Remember, Detroit, San Jose and Washington lost as a result of against a hot goalie and a defensive juggernaut team! Canucks are no different in this situation in dealing with the Kings! Well, looks like I am proving to all my idiot fellow Canucks fan who were stupid enough to want that Presidents Trophy. Well, you guys got it and look what is happening to this team. You happy now?
And to all of you who stated how the Canucks got to game 7 of the finals last year winning the Presidents Trophy, Vancouver had 54 wins and under 120+ points. As well, they played Chicago who wasn't as great defensively as the 2012 LA Kings. That being said, we were lucky enough to have beaten the Hawks in game 7. But look at what happened when the Canucks played the Boston Bruins, who is similar to the Kings of 2012. The Canucks lost! Bottom line, the Presidents Trophy is a curse so that get through your heads!! If you still don't believe it, you are in denial! When fact is presented in front of you.
This year hurts, the loss yesterday is a stab in the heart. Good guys never win, but bad guys always win. Justice.. no justice. Passionate fans never see their team success but bandwagon fans gets to see their team success. I agree, this world is never fair. I sure know how the Toronto Maple Leafs fans feel now. Well, no matter what the fans in Vancouver including myself and my crew will be together on this possible last game of the year on Wednesday. With my last breath and my last energy, we will fight to the very last man even if it means the destruction of our existence, Go Canucks Go! Will we some light in this spread of darkness?
