CALGARY - Their day began with first-line winger Alex Burrows being taken to hospital on a stretcher. It ended with the Vancouver Canucks on life support.
Desperately needing a win, the Canucks couldn’t find one Tuesday night, dropping a 3-1 decision to the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
As that noted philosopher Grover of Sesame Street likes to say, it was a bad, awful day for the Canucks. They now trail the best-of-seven series 3-1 with Game 5 scheduled for Thursday night at Rogers Arena.
The Canucks are just one loss away from another long summer.
