If the Edmonton Oilers, unbeaten in the silly season, go 82-0 over the full National Hockey League regular schedule, the Vancouver Canucks are in trouble.
If Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who have no goals and no assists in three games to date, were to remain in this cataclysmic slump for the entire regular season, the twins’ scoring totals would be … let’s see, multiply by 82 … zero! That would be bad.
If the Canucks, who have scored either one goal or none in five of their six exhibition starts, continue to average 1.1 goals per 60 minutes of hockey from now until mid-April, hello 30th place.
