It’s hard to gauge the mood of the Vancouver Canucks right now.
On the one hand, they’ve lost eight straight games. They’ve only managed 10 goals in that span.
At the same time, the players don’t seem to be panicking. When they give interviews they aren’t whining, or shifting blame. It doesn’t seem like they are despairing.
Instead, they just seem more determined. They don’t believe the season is lost; they just believe.
We can debate whether this Canucks roster is built to win. And we can agree or disagree with the approach Jim Benning is taking in rebuilding the team.
