Mostly because Goldy is back Tuesday. Good, Granlund could use the help.

When the season is over, Granlund will be the Canucks’ best story. He won’t get 40 points, which shows you what kind of season it’s been for the Canucks.

But, still, Granlund has gone from fourth line to the best Canuck on the ice in a mid-March game in Edmonton. Yes, life moves fast.

At least someone other than a goalie showed up.

Granlund had seven shots, including three chances that would have been showstoppers if the Canucks were, well, average and this game meant something, even a little tiny something.

I was all-in on Willie’s decision to play Granlund with Horvat tonight. Lock and load the Horvat line and ride them like a first line to the end of the season.

But then he goes out and plays Sutter more than anyone else at evens. That’s not how this works, Willie.

So, Sutter’s line played more than Horvat’s and got its head caved in — all night long. We all just throw another log on the fire.
