You know Vancouver city officials were secretly breathing a sigh of relief when the LA Kings beat the Canucks 2-1 in overtime tonight to eliminate the Canucks in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Canucks played pretty badly to start the series and ended up in a 3-0 hole, something few teams climb out of and there was to be no miracle this time, either.
On the plus side, a short playoff run means people will turn to other things to entertain themselves this summer instead of rioting and pillaging the downtown core. So…lose-win, I guess!
