Well, I sure didn't see that win coming last night. For this annual Eastern Canada swing, I was expecting the same pattern we had in both 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons: we play bad against the Leafs and barely get the win, play not so good against the Senators, and get shut out by the Canadiens. Well, the Habs shut us out again, as I expected, but the Canucks turned the tables on me for the Sens game. Not that I'm sad about being wrong, it was just a very pleasant surprise for me that we won 6-2. Now, let's see what the Canucks have in store tomorrow night against the Maple Leafs on the CBC's nationwide stage.
