Only one player came out to play this afternoon..brutal performance by the team, and they should be ashamed for putting Marky out to dry like that.
As bad as they were this afternoon, this game was not indicative of the whole season..Generally,they always gave a scrappy effort in games, even when completely outmatched.
Unfortunately, unless this team miraculously finds some mojo in the last month of the season, this afternoon's game WILL be indicative of the whole season.
Let's be brutally honest here. Jay Beagle admitted as much in a post-game interview. This is the time of the year that playoff bound teams amp up their compete level. They're desperate for points and playoff positioning. You're going to playing teams at their best, night after night.
So you have to place far more importance to the games in March versus the dog days of the season in Dec.-Jan, where you might be catching tired teams in your building at the end of a road-trip or in theirs, if you're just starting a road-trip of your own.
These games in March are a far more accurate gauge on where your team is really at. And if the bottom drops out of the bag for the Canucks in yet another March, then this team really is nowhere.
