I've watched all their games and you're right - they definitely don't look as strong as before. They are missing Kesler which has a lot to do with it, but I think the other factor is that teams around them have gotten a lot better, and essentially improved more than the Canucks have.
The one thing that they have going this year for them is extremely strong goaltending - both Luongo and Schneider have looked great.
Sedins are looking very average so far and it's mostly their supporting cast (and goalies) who are carrying the team to their good record so far.
