After what Hodgson went through with the Canucks, no one can fault him for being bitter at the team. Misdiagnosing an injury, forcing him to work through it and thenn basically calling him a pussy when he tries to fix it independently from the Canucks organization. I have had back pain before and I couldn't imagine a year or more of it, being forced to play hockey with it and then being ridiculed for seeking treatment when the pain just wouldn't go away.
I'm aware of this and wasnt trying to include it but thats the interesting point that lots of the "homer" fans fail to realize is he had a good reason to be the "cancer in the room" anyways. I talk to lots of local fans and the majority somehow think the Canucks doc's are the best in the known medical universe and no way could misdiagnose that. But hey, not like that happened to any other superstar like Crosby either eh?
It was a bullshit call and you know it was, especially in the playoffs, in OT, elimination game.
Maybe thats the real reason why the Canucks dont hit people. Regardless if they do, they end up in the box.
The Canucks simply dont have what it takes to play in the playoffs. At least not this year.
And that leaves one question:
Who does San Jose play in the Finals?
