The last couple weeks for Canuck fans have been a little weird. On one hand, they're winning, on the other, it doesn't feel like they're winning. Sure, Vancouver ended up beating Colorado, but did they really deserve to? It was one of those things where they won because they had no business losing the game. Bieksa made up for his terrible give away right beside Luongo, that gave Colorado a goal, by doing his diving save on an open net. After playing goalie, he takes the puck and ends up getting the tying goal with just under 30 seconds left in the game. If it wasn't for that one great play, then Vancouver would have lost to a very inferior team.
Overtime - it seems to be a bit of a theme for the Canucks as of late. And not just overtime, but shootouts. It's almost like they do it on purpose, just to give Luongo more practice at stopping the break aways. What was once almost a guaranteed loss, having Luongo in net during a shootout has turned into something that could turn into a win.

Now, Vancouver has been winning. Actually, in the last ten games, the Canucks have the best record in the league. After just watching the games though, you'd think that they are floating around the .500 mark. They aren't winning games in regulation, let alone winning them decisively. BUT! A win's a win, despite those wins coming by the skin of their teeth. If this is Vancouver's lull in the season that every team goes through, then I'll take it.
