Spoken like a true person born in 1991!
huh? i was actually watching games at the Pacific Coliseum the season the Canucks picked up Schmautz, whippersnapper. i've seen pretty much ever squad this team has iced since the mid-70s.
this was a horrible year for offense, arguably the worst i've ever seen, & the numbers back it up. we're in a low-scoring era now for sure, but being 28 out of 30 teams for GF is horrible.
further, injuries or not, the Sedins as recent Art Ross winners falling so far so fast has to be a historical anomaly, i can't think of any other Art Ross winners who put up the numbers of second & third liners after their Art Ross wins.
yeah, okay, injuries, Tortorella's system, locker room dramas, scoring down around the league, butterfly goalies, etc. - whatever the reasons, again, i came here to point out that this was arguably the worst offensive season in Canucks history, a point that i feel is really worth discussing, & shouldn't be ignored.
i rarely call for coaches to be fired, but in this case i really feel Torts has to go.
