The Vancouver Canucks have clearly given up on the season, and it’s clear just about everyone involved in the organization is waiting for 2016-17 to end. How else can you explain these four straight losses?
But can you really blame them? There is simply not a whole lot they can play for at this point of the season. They know they’ll finish as one of the five worst teams in the NHL, and it’s clear this roster will seek some sort of an overhaul in the offseason.
Judging by Sunday’s porous effort against the San Jose Sharks (a 3-1 loss), it’s hard to see the Canucks giving it everything they’ve got.
