Packed with Pachyderms - APR.02.08

<table width=80% align=center border=0><tr><td><img src=http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/09/henderson_headshot.jpg align=left hspace=4>I have done everything in my power to help the team. I have made a wish at the fountain in front of the Aquarium, worn my lucky leopard-print bra on game days, wrapped myself in my Canucks blanket and surrounded myself and the television with all manner of team paraphernalia. Which makes me just one “arf” short of barking ma

So many thoughts run through my head as I think about it, such as: It’s no secret that the Canucks are a little shor

I’ve never understood how any loyal Canuck fan could cheer for Northwest division rivals Calgary or Edmonton just because they’re based in Canada. I can remember watching the Stanley Cup final in 2004 and hearing many so-called C
