VANCOUVER - This was going to be a sentimental column about a National
Hockey League team from Winnipeg visiting the Vancouver Canucks for the first
time since 1996, the history the teams share, new yarn in the fabric hockey
weaves through our country.
We could tell you the Jets’ last visit was a day before Valentine’s 16
years ago, and how hearts in Winnipeg had already been broken by the sale of
the team to owners who were taking it to Phoenix and by the trade a week
earlier of Teemu Selanne to Anaheim for luminaries Oleg Tverdovsky and Chad
Kilger. And that neither the franchise nor the city it was abandoning was the
same after that. More…
Shacks’ Take: Ian you should have written about the Jets,
it’s a way more interesting story. Yes
the Canucks are slumping. Yes, the
Sedins are slumping and yes, the power play is slumping but did you need to
write this today? Were you worried the
Canucks would score a few tonight and make this story passé? The Jets come to
town for the first time in years, that’s a much more interesting story than another
scribe jumping on the sky-is-falling band wagon. JETS – JETS - J-E-T-S – JETS!!!
The best part of this article is how Henrik speaks for both Sedins about how they're feeling. We know we have to score, we've never felt better, our legs have never been fresher. Now they can answer how each other feel, talk about sharing a brain that must be awesome and confused ata the same time.
