"the Trade"

[Special Ed]

First let's get this out of the way. You don't want to see another Hodgson thread exit ------------------>

You've been warned so don't whine, just move along.

As a Canucks fan and seeing Kassians play so far I'm officially calling "the trade" a huge failure. I watched the Canucks coasting along confidently with clutch secondary scoring from Hodgson. Yes H-O-D-G-S-O-N, as in CODY. Ever since "the trade" the Canucks have sputtered. Lack of scoring(duh). And the whole reason for "the trade" has been now proven completely wrong. Kassian not ready for playoffs. Even our wins since the deadline have not looked convincing to me.

So here it is. I'm saying that Hodgson wouldn't have necessarily won the game. But I sure as hell would take him back over Kassian from what I have seen so far. And it was all about winning now wasn't it?

The trade single handedly put the Canucks one step back. Can't give away scoring to get tougher and yes, I'm still extremely po'd about 'the trade'.

Being down 3-0 in the first round now after going to the finals is why.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
