Ohlund: "Life is too short to be sad"

Ohlund: "Life is too short to be sad"

How true. But guess what, Ohlund? We'll be sad anyway.

Well, what a difference a week makes. The Canucks are out of the Cup race and we've likely just witnessed Ohlie's last game. Haven't really wanted to deal with it or talk or blog about it, quite frankly. I kinda really wanted Trevor and Mattias to end their times with Vancouver with a Stanley Cup ring and it's pretty heartbreaking that it wasn't meant to be.

Here's a link to Elliott Papp's article from yesterday on Ohlund.

Jim Jamieson's article pretty much reports what we've always known but Barry's comment was telling:

Ohlund’s agent, Calgary-based J.P. Barry of CAA Sports, said he’s had little interaction over the past season with Canucks GM Mike Gillis regarding Ohlund.

“We never really got traction on negotiations,” said Barry on Wednesday. “The door is not closed, but it’s almost closed.”
