Apologies to all who read this series. I'm lazy and am late on this final installment.
With the Canucks bowing out early from the playoffs yet again, it's once again another opportunity for Canucks fans to question the constitution of their favourite team. We at Canucks Army are quite happy to mercilessly rip apart the team and pretend to play General Manager. If we were in control, the defense, the offense, the goaltending, and the coaching staff would all see changes, to varying degrees. But three second-round exists in four years is no longer acceptable to long-suffering Canucks fans, especially given the high-end talent and price tags associated with the team.
In part 3 of our Year End De-Brief, Canucks Army will examine the goaltending and the coaching.

It's Not Your Fault - A Series Postmortem

There, there, Canucks fans. You'll be okay.
We fans like to think that we have a connection to the team. A big, direct connection such that our mundane, daily actions somehow have an effect on the success of the Canucks. This feeling gets amplified ten-fold during the playoffs, as stress and anxiety levels reach feverish heights and we become focused on nothing but the next game and, hopefully, another victory.
This year, Canucks fans' dreams were dashed again far too early. But don't worry. It's not your fault.
