A 3-0 lead against the Chicago Blackhawks is not what we would expect from the right now. Going into the third period with a lead and blowing it to lose 4-3 in overtime, however, is exactly what we would expect. But worry not, Canucks fans, it is not over yet.
In 2015-16, most fans will agree that Vancouver could have finished higher than 28th, had they suffered fewer injuries. The 2016-17 Canucks started into the year with a five-game unbeaten streak, with a healthy roster.
So, who says they can’t go back to winning when Chris Tanev, Jannik Hansen and Anton Rodin return?
