Read the stats. Boston got lucky this time and benefited from injuries. Give Horton back to Boston and give Hamhuis, Rome, Raymond, etc. back to Vancouver... No, I’m sorry: Vancouver is the better team. Boston beat half a Canucks team. I guess, in the sense of injuring the other teams’ players to bring them down to your own skill level - in that sense, Boston was the better team...

Injuries are part of the game, they all skate on the same ice. Depth is a metric of the quality of a team, and it appears depth was a weakness of the Vancouver team.

If depth was not the weakness,then durability of the Canucks surely was.

I don’t want to be contentious, but you are going to have to man up and face the reality.

And by the way, I was serious when I said I did not want to be contentious. I didn’t see the way that last post came across until I read it after posting about “man up”, so I’ll retract that.

I’ve been there, and I know how rotten it feels to be on the other side of things.

Says the person whose team employs a cannibal.
