After the Canucks’ winning goal in double overtime on Tuesday night, playoff fever is rampant is this neck of the woods.

It’s been an exciting series, with more than its share of injuries and violence. While some might say we expect hockey players to rough each other up on the ice, we also know that everyone has the right to do their job without being seriously injured in the process.

Take health care workers, for example. Many people don’t realize that health care workers face violence and threats at work nearly every day. According to this hockey-themed video, there are more than 700 violent incidents reported each year on Vancouver Island alone.

Let’s do all we can to look out for people who are caring for others’ lives – and Go Canucks!!!
