BEST TANK

If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Oh hell, who am I kidding?

I’d believe anything this year, including the ending tonight.

It was a game changer of sorts for the Vancouver Canucks who just put an exclamation point on one of the great slides in team history.

A sometimes sloppy, sometimes fun, and mostly bad hockey game produced by a couple of really bad teams, put the Canucks in position to change their future.

The Canucks were worse in this one, of course, and this is wonderful news for the franchise, because it increases the chances in getting one of the top two picks.

They did it, they made 29th happen.

And yes, I understand, there aren’t generational players available in this draft. But there are two top centres who would walk into the Canucks dressing room, and play in the top nine, and marginalize Sutter, either forcing him to the wing or out.

There is now the reality, if they can hold serve, the Canucks won’t drop out of the top 5, again important if you have faith and trust in this scouting staff.
