This is almost it. Four more chances for the Nucks to win another game this season. Possible?
Sure. Probable? Not so much.
Since Footey is still determined to win and jump the shark, perhaps Canucks win one more time for a coach that has done so much for this team.
A record-matching, heart-breaking season. Thanks, Footey.
This win-at-all costs Footework puts Joseph back in the line up... although there's rumours of an AHL call up.
Good times. For not much longer.

#Canucks last week for EP40 to get a winning goal, this season. Seems like a distant dream for his last, bend it like Elias slapshot.

Almost summertime. The best Nucks season. So full of false hope and unfulfilled promise.
F*uck the war mongering fascists and enjoy the game. As best you can.
