Dear Ryan Kesler,
Congratulations! The season is now over and your team has come out on top, winning the Presidents Trophy for the second consecutive year. That must be a glorious feeling. I knew that you had the skill and ability to make it happen!
But frankly Ryan, I don’t care that the Canucks are back to back champions of the regular season. I want you to be champions of the post season. I’m tired of the Canucks being losers and I’m tired of all my bitter Canucks friends who have stopped believing in this team. This is the year to go out there and fight ten times as hard as you did in the playoffs last year, and finally be the last team standing so you can raise the Stanley Cup over your heads.

This is a weekly feature that will highlight The Good, The Bad and The *fill in the blank* exciting things that are currently happening in the NHL. Is Brooks Laich really a prophet? Can Ryan Miller trash talk the entire Capitals team? Will Steven Stamkos reach 60 goals? Hockey: the drama! The intrigue! The pucks!

This is a weekly feature that will highlight The Good, The Bad and The *fill in the blank* exciting things that are currently happening in the NHL. Should we have a national "Hug A Leafs Fan" day? Will anyone care if I laugh really loud when the Flames get their playoff pink slip? Will the Canucks powerplay ever be good again? Hockey it ain’t over till it’s over.

This is a weekly feature that will highlight The Good, The Bad and The *fill in the blank* exciting things that are currently happening in the NHL. Will the Jets surprise everyone and make it to the playoffs? Are team captains also expected to be scoring leaders? Are hockey gods real and can they be bribed? The sport of hockey is better than football, golf and synchronized swimming.
The Good The Bad And Dear Crosby

This is a weekly feature that will highlight The Good, The Bad and The *fill in the blank* exciting things that are currently happening in the NHL. Has Sean Avery actually retired? Will Sidney Crosby make it to the end of the season without an injury? Will the Canucks ever win a hockey game again? Hockey makes the world go round.
