From
where I sit it looks like the Paralympics don't get the recognition
they deserve...
Sochi
2014 is underway with some amazing athletes. Sadly, these men and
women won't have the world coming to a stop to watch their every
move. The Paralympics are still young on the world scene. But the
level of coverage still leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, CBC is
doing some coverage, and thankfully has pretty much everything
available on-line. However, given what these athletes go through to
even make it this far it seems a bit incomplete.
Meanwhile,
in Vancouver, the Canucks seem to be aiming for a lottery draft
pick...
That's
about the only explanation for the way the Canucks have spent the
last dozen games. A pathetic 16 goals with only 1 win has sent
Vancouver plummeting now 4 points out of the playoffs, having played
more than all the teams in front of them. Yes, there are plenty of
people taking glee at watching a hated team collapse, just as what
happened with the Oilers when their glory days faded. However, I'm
hard pressed to think of a team imploding like this. Edmonton's time
passed slowly, finally ending in 1993. But the Canucks have simply
dropped off the face of the earth. The question isn't if they can
make the playoff this year, but how much change is coming during the
summer.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
