Are the Canucks falling off a cliff?

[Didactic*]

Sedins look bad like last year, Miller is terrible, Bonino and other new additions calming down, soft and fragile defensive core, teams have figured them out.

Do you think that the Canucks are coming back down to earth, I.E, a bubble team like most predicted?

This whole inability to score business is really starting to feel like last year.

 

[Stad]

Nah, championship caliber team IMO.

Agreed. How many chances this game to score? 0 goals... TERRIBLE.

 

[L0gikB0mb]

Yep.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Sedins. Nuff said.

There good, we are good. They arnt? Well, then threads like this get made.

 

[jdatb]

Meh. I'm thinking our defense is still our biggest problem by far.

 

[Elysian]

Agreed. How many chances this game to score? 0 goals... TERRIBLE.

Kari is playing out of his mind tonight, any other night and the Canucks would be up by 3 right now... They've easily outchanced Dallas.

We live and die with the Sedins period. And have since 06-07.

Might as well tank for mcdavid. No other team in the league has lost 5 in a row

 

[Bougieman]

Every team this season will go through a slump. It's part of the sport known as hockey.

My hope is that it doesn't go much longer than tonight.

One of those chances near the end of the 2nd period the Canucks were offsides by at least 30 feet. I've never seen anything like that. Has anyone else?

Wasn't offside because the puck went off a star

 

[jdatb]

I've figured it out guys. EVERYONE on the team has the mumps.

stars player kicks it back into his own zone negating the icing.

 

[Caspian]

No Dan Hamhuis no more winning.

Miller isn't good enough to steal games and our defensive play has looked atrocious.

 

[canadianmagpie]

It's not a surprise that when our best defenseman in Hamhuis gets injured, the Canucks start to suffer. The Canucks don't have the depth that they once had on the blueline.

But if you're basing it on the game against Dallas, you can't deny that Lehtonen's playing a great game. That first period, the Canucks could have been up 3-0 but he's made some amazing saves. Those go in and we have a different game.

 

[Quarter]

They've already fallen and they can't get up.

Someone call Life Alert.

 

[RiceCooker]

No Dan Hamhuis no more winning.

Miller isn't good enough to steal games and our defensive play has looked atrocious.

They've scored 2 goals total in their past 3 games, problem is more than defense right now.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Both the Canucks and Flames have fallen back down to earth.

Pretty much the whole Pacific division is collapsing.

 

[Board Gordon]

The Pacific Division is a sinking ship.

 

[Quarter]

Both the Canucks an Flames have fallen back down to earth.

Pretty much the whole Pacific division is collapsing.

Blame the San Andreas Fault.

 

[George Binks]

I can still see them making the playoffs

 

[Anglesmith]

They've scored 2 goals total in their past 3 games, problem is more than defense right now.

Defencemen like Hamhuis (and Giordano) have a huge effect on how much time the team spends on offence, which is why when a guy like that goes down, you typically see a decrease in offensive production.

 

[Anglesmith]

Both the Canucks an Flames have fallen back down to earth.

Pretty much the whole Pacific division is collapsing.

Also the Oilers have really fallen off of their pace to start the season. Weren't they a game below .500 to start the year?
