The Vancouver Canucks' worst game of the season led to a blowout loss to the New Jersey Devils: 'We've got to just flush it down the toilet right now.'
Sometimes when you’re sick, you forget what it was like to feel healthy. You lose your frame of reference for what normal — or whatever normal is for you — feels like. It seems like you’ve always felt this way and you’re always going to feel this way and nothing will ever get better.When your team is winning, it feels like it’s just the natural state of things. This is how good they’ve been all along and this is how good they really are and they will always be this good forever and ever.
It’s not true, of course. At least, it’s usually not true. Some people do get sick and never get better and some teams lose and never stop losing. But, as I continue to deal with a fever, cough, and headache from a mystery ailment, it helps to remember that this too shall pass. It doesn’t help that the Canucks have managed just one win on home ice this season against the hapless 3-7-1 Pittsburgh Penguins. It also doesn’t help that they just lost to the Carolina Hurricanes, making this a second-straight loss against a potential contender after beating mostly teams destined for the NHL’s basement.
