I write this knowing that the series is not officially over, but been down 3-0 against the LA Kings, I do know that the Canucks will not beat Jonathan Quick four straight.

Byron Bitz might be the feel-good story of the year for the Canucks Nation. If you’ve have ever gone through re-hab for an injury you’ll be able to empathize.
