This might have been one of the worst games I've ever seen from a Canuck blueline....and that's saying something, considering how bad it's been for so long.
Hughes and Pettersson need to play out their contracts and find a way to get out of Vancouver. I don't see them ever reaching their full potential in this lackluster environment. And if they eventually follow Horvat out of town, there's a good chance this team will even worse in a couple of years. They have no picks and no prospects in the pipeline.
Hughes may be wracking up the assists, but he's regressing on the defensive side of the puck. By my count a -3 on the night. And Pettersson looks like he's losing hope.
If Demko is gone for a chunk of the season, which looks likely, you might as well write off the rest of the year. With all due respect to Spencer and Delia, they can't win playing behind this blueline.
Really feel for the fans. Can you imagine how much money the Rogers Arena patrons have shelled out to watch a pair of 5-1 losses? The Sedins and Luongo deserved a better effort than that.
