Does this look familiar? If you watched last night’s game, it should. It represents the Canucks approach to the game after tying it up in the 3rd period. This game was great, but not great like the win over Pittsburgh. It was great because it was a reminder that this team is still not where it needs to be, and this could well be the month that hammers this home. Elliotte Friedman often looks to Nov 1st as a high water mark if you will. Only 6 times over the past 12 years has a team 4 points out on this date been able to work their way into a playoff spot by season’s end.
