	I think you gave justification to this kind of statement in the
remainder of your article. Based on past performance, (last year) and the
displayed coaching and playing talent, the Canucks ARE gawdawful!

	The statement made by the reporter would be offensive only if the 
season was at least half over, and the Canucks were showing a vast 
improvment over last season. As things stand right now, I guess the old
saying still holds true.

				THE TRUTH HURTS!
