If the Vancouver Canucks had to choose a motto this season, it would be that “old habits die hard”.
The team was coming off of one of their best weeks of the COVID-19 hockey campaign, fending off both the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs, and posting a 3-1-0 record that catapulted them back into fifth place in the Scotia North division.
