New York is a beautiful state that attracts millions of tourists every year, but the Vancouver Canucks won’t be going home with any fond memories.
Following a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday, the Canucks visited the Blueshirts’ rivals in the New York Islanders. What followed was an ugly 5-2 loss — perhaps Vancouver’s most disappointing effort of the season thus far.
Couple the loss with the San Jose Sharks defeating the Nashville Predators 5-4, and Vancouver is officially out of first in the Pacific Division. They finish up the six-game road trip against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday, then a much-needed return home awaits.
