Did The Canucks Just Experience Their March 26, 1997 Game?

from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province, ...“They can’t spend the rest of the game running after Duncan Keith,” they said. “They’re preoccupied with Duncan Keith,” they repeated. “There goes another Canuck after Duncan Keith.”

Apparently this was a trend. The Canucks, in fact, were running after Keith. They were preoccupied with Keith. This game became about Duncan Keith.

But if anyone thinks the Canucks lost their minds in Chicago, if anyone thinks their response was less than appropriate, sorry, you just haven’t been paying attention.

The Canucks did exactly what they had to do at the United Center. They had to respond after Keith’s chicken-excrement hit on Daniel Sedin, and we’re not talking about a power-play goal. If they would have let that hit go, then you could seriously question their actions.

As it is, Keith might have done Team Lethargy a favour. For the first time in three weeks, the Canucks looked engaged and looked like they cared. If that’s the takeaway from this game — and not, say, a prolonged concussion to Daniel — then mark this date down.
