Canucks

IN THE LAST WEEK THE CANUCKS HAVE FOUND THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOSE A HOCKEY GAME…
THE FIRST WAS TO BLOW A ONE GOAL LEAD TO COLORADO WITH 15 SECONDS LEFT IN THE THIRD…
THE SECOND WAS TO BLOW A TWO GOAL LEAD TO COLUMBUS WITH 15 MINUTES LEFT IN THE THIRD…
THE THIRD WAS ON SUNDAY IN CHICAGO…WHERE THE CANUCKS DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO SHOW UP…
THEY MANAGED JUST 2 SHOTS IN THE FIRST PERIOD AND A TOTAL OF JUST 10 IN THE GAME…
THE RESULT WAS A 4-1 LOSS…
THE SCORE AND THE STATS DO NOT REALLY TELL THE WHOLE STORY…
THE HAWKS WERE MISSING 6 OF THEIR REGULARS…INCLUDING THEIR STARTING GOALTENDER…
ON SUNDAY THE CANUCKS WERE UP AGAINST A NON PLAYOFF TEAM WITH A ROSTER FILLED KIDS AND CALL UPS FROM THE AHL…
YET ON SUNDAY THAT GROUP NOT ONLY OUT SHOT AND OUT SCORED THE CANUCKS…THEY OUT HIT THEM…
THE FINAL COUNT IN THAT CATEGORY WAS 15 TO 2…
IT’S ONE THING TO LOSE TO A BETTER TEAM…IT’S QUITE ANOTHER TO GET OUT WORKED BY A LESSER ONE…
LET’S DO THE MATH…
60 MINUTES…1 GOAL…10 SHOTS AND 2 HITS…
IT WAS SO BAD…THE COACHING STAFF CANCELLED PRACTICE TODAY…
THERE IS CERTAINLY LOTS OF BLAME TO GO AROUND…
TO BEGIN WITH…THEIR BEST PLAYERS HAVE TO BE THEIR BEST PLAYERS…
DANIEL SEDIN…NO GOALS IN 5 GAMES…
MARKUS NASLUND…NO GOALS IN 5 GAMES…
HENRIK SEDIN…1 ASSIST IN 5 GAMES…
IF THE CANUCKS HAVE PLANS TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON…THAT SIMPLY MUST CHANGE…
IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE THEY HAVE WASTED 4 POINTS…
ADD THAT TO THE 8 POINTS THEY DROPPED IN 4 LOSSES TO THE KINGS AND THE LIGHTNING…
AND THE 9 POINTS THEY’VE THROWN AWAY IN THE SHOOTOUT AND THE GRAND TOTAL IS NOW 17…
AS A RESULT THE CANUCKS ARE IN A THREE WAY TIE FOR 7TH PLACE WITH COLORADO AND NASHVILLE…
THEY PLAY BOTH THIS WEEK…
IT’S TIME TO FIND FOR THIS TEAM TO WAYS TO WIN THESE GAMES…
IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT TIME THEY START
