The Canucks entered the Air Canada Centre with a long losing streak, and an inability to score masking that they have actually been playing some decent hockey. They played well in Montreal and Ottawa, but you have to score to win.
They got the first part right, anyhow...unfortunately, it was not enough.

The Canucks started out pretty good in this one. For a bit. When you have a defence that is young, minus your top pairing of Edler and Tanev, mistakes are going to happen ( some by vets too, there is less cohesion in a lineup not deep enough ).
