CLASSIC: Saying This Will Get Me Killed

To celebrate the recent accomplishments of the Vancouver Canucks, which won the Western Conference Championship against the San Jose Sharks in a five game series, I am reposting an old post about the 1994 Vancouver Canucks. To Robin of HIMYM, please don't tackle me and jump up and down on my spine like last time. The fellas at the hospital have a bet going as to when I will come back for another hip replacement, and I have fifty big ones on the over! Thanks o_O


The Vancouver Canucks only reached the 1994 Stanley Cup Final because of the 2-3-2 playoff system. No team in professional sports would give up home team advantage, play three consecutive road games, and lose the advantage of line changes against the same team for the sake of travel expenses. Wait, actually they would in baseball because they do it all the time, and in basketball because the Finals is fixed anyway (More basketball = More TV ratings = More exposure for sponsors).

Congratulations to the Canucks again for making believers out of all Canadians far and wide...well most Canadians (Phil laughs at the NonSENSe fans).
