Several years ago I was a fan that hated my team more that I loved it. Some would call that riding the bandwagon; cheering when they were winning, and downtrodden when they weren’t. To be honest I cheered all the time, but when we were losing it was freakin hard to stay positive when there wasn’t a lot to be positive about.

Now fast forward to the last 2.5 years where we have, short of winning the elusive cup made of silver: broken records, created superstars and overall improved to the status of an elite team.

Here are some bragging rights (stats):

  - First place overall in the league

  - Scored more goals than any other team

  - Allowed 2nd fewest goals in league

  - On a 9-game unbeaten streak

  - Marcus Naslund has 13 pts in 4 games

  - Scored 1st goal per game over past 12 contests (ties NHL record)

  - Brendan Morrison has 9-game pts streak

  - Rookie Jason King is tied for most pts as a rookie

  - Marcus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi & Brendan Morrison most potent line

  - Lowest combined GAA in league

  - Marek Malik, Marcus Naslund & Brendan Morrison are +/- leaders

Whew… I need to towel off!

Your faithful canucklehead!
