This has to be alarming for Canucks fans. It is one thing to lose three out of four straight-games in the Stanley Cup Finals. It is one thing to suffer a first round, five-game exit to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions. But this is the old, persistently invisible, playoff-choking San Jose Sharks playing on the road, and they hold a two game advantage.

Seriously. This team is finished. I expect major changes in the off-season in Vancouver. Of course, with Mike Gillis as the man in charge of those changes, I don't expect a very good result for the Canucks. At this rate, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Winnipeg Jets will hoist the Stanley Cup before Vancouver ever wins one.
