Re: "Could it happen again?" Sept. 9. All this post-Stanley Cup riot coverage is taking the focus away form the real issue here: the most disappointing playoff performance by any NHL team in recent memory. Yes, I am talking about the Canuckleheads. Here was a team that went into the playoffs on top of the league, with a great roster of players and a goalie that had seemingly put his "demons" behind him. They forged through the first few rounds powerfully, showing no signs of fatigue and were well on their way to taking home the Cup. Then what? They simply capitulated. Personally, I do not think that even merits the reaction of a full blown riot-such a dismal effort warrants nothing more than loathing and rejection. The Canucks are not worthy of Vancouver.
