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! Terry Dyck Univ. of Alberta, Dept. of Comp. Science ihnp4!alberta!dyck
