There's nothing wrong at all with being a troll, or even as a lot of people would put it, a realist. No one thinks Jovo is Superman, and no one thinks Vancouver is going to race 4 straight wins and then have a Stanley Cup parade down Robson. There's nothing wrong with tempering your excitement with realism, BUT....

Why the heck do we even watch sports, or root for our favorite team? Sports ARE the last great escapism, where we CAN have heroes, where we CAN dream, where we WANT to be as strong or as skilled as the players. If someone wants to cheer for 4 straight wins and a cup run, hell, let em. Secretly I am too. Everyone in this thread KNOWS I love Jovo and I'd rather watch them trade away Bert, Ohlund, Salo, hell anyone than Jovo. And I was fanboying myself when he scored that goal.

Do I think he's going to don the cape and lead them to lord Stanley? Newp. But lemme tell you, makes me smile wishin it would happen. On one of your notes though, I don't see it as Van or Edmonton, mainly based on the back to back with San Jose. SJ is two points ahead of the Nucks. Vancouver takes those and one more win and it puts them in eight to finish the season.

You know I do have to agree with you on the announcers though man, I feel bad for anyone watching that was a Calgary fan. I'm too lazy to look it up, but wasn't Hughson the radio broadcaster for the Canucks for years? That might explain it if so.

Let’s just enjoy the last four games, and start worrying about who's going to stay when it's all said and done!

*Edit* my spelling sucks. Thats why I won't post on political threads anymore. Cleaned up enough to understand now though!!
