Not false, they don't try any harder than any other night team
They play close games because Willie only coaches to low event hockey, there's a misconception that losing by 1 means you tried harder than losing by 3. It means you didn't take any chances
I'll just say the majority of Canucks fans would say and even writers have pointed out how the team has basically quit on the coach again in the last quarter of the season for the 2nd straight year
Willie might be a decent coach with a team in win now mode, but his development, his special teams, and his deployment are not good for this team.
Yes they are bad right now, they badly need a top 2 pick in this draft and then maybe they are back to being a team playing to make the playoffs in 2019
