Well, the season's officially started now. Predictably enough it seems the Canucks aren't doing too great, but it also doesn't seem like we're sucking beyond redemption - in other words, the season's off to a start that is, above all, mind-numbingly boring. I saved myself from most of the boredom by not bothering to watch any of the games (the only time I really consider turning on the TV to catch a game is during the playoffs, and those aren't for another I-forget-how-many months), but checking the Canucks' website for scores I almost laughed out loud. We'd won exactly half the games played in this part of the season. It's as if the Canucks truly are destined to become the most average team in the league; surely striking fear into the hearts of the Edmonton Oilers but barely registering on other franchises' radar.
Speaking of the Oilers, anyone remember when they tried changing their logo to that weird riveted gear-thing that looked like something out of Sonic the Hedgehog? I understand the desire to appeal more to kids or whatever the hell motivated that disaster, but was putting what looked like a power-up graphic from a bad videogame on team sweaters really the best way to go about doing that? I'm asking way too many rhetorical questions here. I should probably stop doing that.
But anyhow, the point with today's update is that, quite frankly, right now I can't really bring myself to talk about the Canucks. I've got a great big awesome update planned for next time (complete with self-depreciating humour and an overdose of nostalgia), but... Not today. Sorry.

That pretty much sums up all of Vancouver: pretty average, laid back, not that spectacular, but fans get excited.
I think Vancouver fans would be probably still be happy if the Canucks skated onto the ice, waved a white towel on the end of their sticks, and surrendered.... To the San Jose Sharks, who seem to prey on our poor little beluga, I mean Killer whale....
