Canucks’ Season Notable, but Unremarkable



In a regular season that finds the Canucks easily perched nike jersey atop their division with an outside chance at another conference and/or regular season title, it should be hard to be disappointed. But after last season, which found the Canucks rarely taking their foot off the gas as they went essentially wire-to-wire cheap nhl jerseys to earn the franchise’s first ever President’s Trophy as the leading regular season team, the uninspired and ineffective play of recent weeks has the always neurotic fan base (or, at least, media contingent) looking for answers.


And, on paper, their struggles are apparent. Since their victory over Boston in the “game of the season”, the Canucks, despite posting an impressive 17-8-5 record, have had troubles outplaying their opponents at even strength (their goal differential being only plus 5 during the thirty games since the Boston game – as opposed to plus 18 in the 42 games before that). aol.com Further, of those 17 wins, eight have come in bonus time (overtime or shootout), which really normalizes their record to a very lackluster 9-8-13 in the wake of the taking of Boston.
