A couple of days after the Vancouver Canucks eliminated Mr. Underwood and the Nashville Predators in the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs, they are still waiting to see who they'll be facing in the Western Conference Finals.

History bodes well for the Canucks, as they have never lost in the Conference Finals (granted...they've only played in it twice in their 40-year history). But they've won both times!

In this CCC, I quickly reflect on how grateful I am that the Canucks aren't playing on May 11 this year (they were eliminated from the NHL playoffs on May 11 in both 2009 and 2010) and I confidently state that it doesn't matter who wins game 7 between the Detroit Red Wings and the San Jose Sharks because the Canucks are right here waiting...for either of them.

I enlist the help of my friend Kevin Eng for my tribute to Richard Marx...enjoy!
