June 15 2011. A day that will be etched into the memory of the Vancouver Canucks, the NHL, its fans and anyone not living under a shell. I felt as though everything I loved was being torn away from me, and subsequently as though I was watching my home be destroyed by pure idiocy. I welcome all readers to 41 Seasons, a blog dedicated to all things hockey, with a slight bias to our hometown Canucks. As anyone reading this should know, today the Vancouver Canucks failed in their quest to become Stanley Cup champions for the 3rd time in franchise history, and the riots that ensued have been disgustingly brutal. As a Canuck fan and Vancouverite, my heart has been broken, my reputation tarnished, and my hopes relinquished. I honestly don't know how to feel, and I wish as though I could forget everything that has occurred. For those that have never experienced a loss like this, there are no words to describe the pain that is felt. However, we have to move forward and I would like to provide some insight on what to expect from 41 Seasons. Discussion, analysis and opinion on all things hockey, from four North Vancouver hockey fanatics. Israel Fehr, Jeff Clowers, Luke Tully and myself, Michael Stewart will all be contributing to the blog. You can expect breakdown of games, players, prospects, transactions and fantasy. Hopefully the blog is better than its first day in existence.
