If only. If only the Canucks could make the 2 for 28 stat mean something better than a 7% power solution.
If only their best penalty killers weren’t in the sinbin - at the same time.
If only the Nucks were playing in a division where 5 points separate the 2nd seed and the bottom of the tank.
Hey... the Nucks are exactly in that division. 1 out of 3, that’s not so bad.
And this game wasn’t so bad either. Wasn’t as good either. And that’s the single point.
1st Period
The road stung Nucks came out of the gate on pace to beat the Hawks 5 on 5.
