Four of the Vancouver Canucks’ last six games were blow-outs, including Sundays loss to Calgary. Calgary is better team, therefore the Flames leaving B.C. with the win isn’t surprising. It’s how that night unfolded that is still causing the heads of Canucks fans to hang.
Not only did the Canucks defense collapse and allow six goals against, the last piece of their top line was injured. After blocking a shot with his left foot in the second period, Brock Boeser was in so much pain he could barely leave the ice. He did not return to game after eventually making it to the bench.
