Did the Canucks eat too much turkey over the holidays? It's probably just as well for Canucks fans, that when the papers roll in Tuesday morning Team Canada at least won in World Junior Hockey action (5-1 over Finland). That may just keep some people from doing anything rash. But the reality is that the Canucks just got beat by Calgary, again, 2-1.

Kudos to Coach Marc Crawford for holding the worst post-game presser of the year (quite possibly ever). Can you really complain about officiating, power plays, and the need to play 5% better? 5% better are you nuts? You lost Crawford, wake up. I think Dan Russell on CKNW called it just about right after the game tonight, the season is nearly half over and let's face it: the Canucks are 20-16 (not 20-11-5 - that's loser talk), 4 games over .500, and now running third in the Northwest behind two teams they can't beat.
