The Canucks Won!

Let’s start with the obvious. When you are a Vancouver Canucks fan, you have no choice. You need to celebrate every win you can get. After all, there aren’t many.

What makes this one even more exciting is that it came against the Dallas Stars. Now, you may say “what? The Stars are hardly better than Vancouver!” I guess you’re right, but the Stars are still considered a Stanley Cup favourite, and it’s great to see the Canucks weren’t the team that got Dallas back on track.

Another thing that made this win particularly exciting and positive is that it was another comeback.

Sure, one could argue that coming from behind is a really bad and unsustainable strategy, but it generates exciting games. The Canucks are finally able to win one-goal games, whether it is in overtime or regulation. That’s a giant positive.

We can’t be too excited because it would be great to see an easy blowout win for the Canucks sometime. But since that is, objectively, totally unrealistic, we just have to go with this.

A Canucks comeback win!
