Relax, take an opinion for what it's worth. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking Bertuzzi's absence was a huge blow to the Canucks. Do you think if you yell and can call people names you'll change their opinions?
Do I think Calgary's run to the cup was a fluke? Yeah, partially. I thought they played hard, played a team game and I think luck was on their side. I enjoyed watching their run and after watching them out work Vancouver in game's 5 and 6 part of me was cheering for them. I cheered for them the rest of the playoffs too.
And no, my years of experience don't mean I see alternate realities. It means I don't believe my self to be an idiot or stupid when it comes to the game most of my life has revolved around. I do know I don't let my feelings for a team get in the way of analyzing a situation.
I could've also mentioned I spent close to a year covering (among other things) major junior hockey for a little rag in Moose Jaw...but I thought that would be over doing it a little
