Canuck finger Pointing

WHEN IT COMES TO THE CANUCKS…
RIGHT NOW THERE’S A LOT OF FINGER POINTING GOING ON…
HEAD COACH ALAIN VIGNEAULT IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY HIS TOP TWO LINES ARE PLAYING…
IN HIS WORDS…“THERE’S NOT MUCH GOING ON THERE”…”THERE HASN’T BEEN MUCH GOING ON THERE FOR A WHILE”…
COMBINED THE CANUCKS TOP 6 FORWARDS ARE A MISERABLE MINUS 17 ON THE SEASON…
UNFORTUNATELY THE DEEPER YOU LOOK…THE WORSE IT GETS…
LASTNIGHT IN DETROIT THE CANUCKS WERE OUTSHOT 40 TO 15…
AND IN THE FIRST 3 GAMES OF THIS ROAD TRIP THEY’VE BEEN OUT SHOT A STAGGERING…106 TO 54…
MARKUS NASLUND HAD TAKEN 48 SHIFTS IN HIS LAST 2 GAMES…HE HAS PRODUCED 1 SHOT ON GOAL AND NO POINTS…
THAT’S NOT MUCH FOR $6 MILLION DOLLARS…
WHEN IT COMES TO SHOTS ON NET…THE CANUCKS ARE NOW DEAD LAST IN THE ENTIRE NHL…
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN KEEPING THE CANUCKS IN MOST GAMES IS THEIR GOALTENDING…
ROBERTO LUONGO IS NOT NAMING NAMES…BUT HE DOES NOT HIDE THE FACT THAT HE’S FRUSTRATED WITH THE DIRECTION THIS SEASON IS GOING…
THE NATURAL RE-ACTION FROM FANS IS TO HOPE THE CANUCKS WILL FIND THEIR GAME…MUCH LIKE THEY DID LAST SEASON…
THE DIE HARDS WILL POINT OUT…
IN LATE OCTOBER AND EARLY NOVEMBER OF 06…THESE SAME CANUCKS LOST 6 OF 7…INCLUDING A 3-2 DEFEAT IN DETROIT…
THAT TEAM TURNED IT AROUND AND WENT ONTO WIN ITS DIVISION…
UNFORTUNATELY YOU COULD ONLY MAKE THAT ARGUMENT IF YOU HAD NOT WATCHED THE FIRST 10 GAMES OF THE SEASON…
THROW THE STATS OUT…TRUST YOUR EYES…LOOK IN THE MIRROR…AND TELL YOURSELF THE TRUTH…
THIS TEAM IS JUST NOT THAT GOOD…
LAST YEAR LUONGO WAS ABLE TO HIDE A LOT OF PROBLEMS…
24 TIMES THIS TEAM WAS ALLOWED TO PUSH GAMES INTO OVERTIME AND SHOOTOUTS…WHICH RESULTED IN 17 WINS AND 41 POINTS…
THAT’S NOT HAPPENING THIS SEASON…
AS IT SITS NOW…THE CANUCKS ARE NOT A PLAYOFF TEAM…
AND THERE’S NOT A WHOLE LOT GENERAL MANAGER DAVE NONIS CAN DO ABOUT IT…
IN THE MEANTIME THE LOSSES ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO PILE UP…AND THE FINGER POINTING IS ONLY GET WORSE…
