Maybe, just maybe, the Canucks will win one more home game before the end of the season. They need to, lest they gain the dubious distinction of having the worst home record of any post-expansion franchise. Yes, the crack staff at Nucks Misconduct are still tracking that statistic: it's not pretty.
Then again, there's not much pretty about the Canucks these days. Which is why we distilled our tears from the last embarrassing effort to create a new Tanko for tonight.
Enjoy. If you do win, or even enjoy playing, tell us what it feels like. Because we don't know what joy is anymore.
