I’ve said this before, but this is about where I expected the Vancouver Canucks to be this season.
They were not as good as the team that started 4-0, nor were they as bad as the team that lost their next nine. Since that losing streak ended, they are 8-6-1, which puts them just above .500 in that span.
That sounds about right to me.
When healthy, they are not a team that is a lock for 30th place. The veteran players — the ones whom Jim Benning refuses to trade — will keep their ship afloat.
