I'd be worried if this was a little blip. But it's clearly more than a blip. Their PP has been trash since December and their overall play and intensity has dropped since the all star break. Bottom 6 scoring and EP has dried up at the wrong time of the year. This team is definitely not trending in the right direction. Even when they win games they look off.

Before that they were on a ridiculous point streak. They were bound to cool off a little bit. Don't be fooled. The Preds are a very solid team.

LA, NSH, VGK, Oilers are all playing solid hockey at the right time. If the Canucks can't figure it out, a 1st round exit is a real distinct possibility, and it could be the Predators who kick us out.

I will. You're delusional if you think this team gets passed the first round. 2012 Canucks all over again.

Look how they're playing. The evidence is right in front of you.

They lost 3 of their last 4. Yes, the sky isn't falling, but it sure doesn't look good right now.

First round exit incoming. It doesn't matter if we play VGK or NSH, they will throttle us in 5 games.

Goaltending is the least of their worries atm. I'm concerned with how their play has been dropping off in 3rd periods as of late. BUF was supposedly a tired team. You have to put them away convincingly.

Oh JB, how we miss you

Bring on Toffoli

Mikheyev - Miller - Boeser Hoglander - Petey - Suter Podkolzin - Lindholm - Garland PDG - Blueger - Lafferty Aman Hughes - Hronek Zadorov - Juulsen Soucy - Cole Friedman Demko

He's a star. And top 10 in scoring. Watch him pop off after the signing. He's clearly distracted from the speculation. Just get it over with and start going on a heater.

You guys need to chill. Isn't Petey still top 7 or top 8 in scoring? Sheesh. No wonder Vancouver can't have nice things.

This was the most bizarre game I've seen in years. The team is battling adversity right now but they need to bounce back either tomorrow or against Seattle. If they don't, you can bet a long losing streak is coming that will likely knock us out of the top spot in the league and the conference.

Would be a good depth move. Bump Hoglander up to top 6 and Have Kessel slide in to the 4th line with Aman/Laffery/PDG and give him PP2 mins.
