Teams in playoff position shouldn’t be concerned at this point of the season, but it’s hard for Vancouver Canucks fans to not worry about this recent slump.
Once again, the month of November has been brutal for the Canucks. They have lost six of their last seven games now — with the last three defeats coming on home ice. That superb 9-3-2 start feels like a lifetime ago.
Things aren’t getting any easier for the Canucks, who now embark on a difficult six-game road trip — all against top quality teams. It starts on Tuesday evening against the red hot Dallas Stars, who dominated Vancouver on Thursday in a 4-2 victory.
