3 Reasons Why We Lost:
1. Canucks out skated the Flames tonight. Team looked slow and sloppy and a step behind all night. Couldn’t string together plays cleanly and everything was contested.
2. Powerplay: Same old PP. Not a lot of purpose to their passing, puck movement was too slow and telegraphed. Could not bury the few chances they did have.
3. Odd Man Rushes: Not sure if this is just a result of the new pairings, but there were way too many breakdowns and mixed signals. Every goal was a result of odd man situations that favored the Canucks, all of them. Breakways, 2 on 1s, open man in front of the net. Just piss poor defensive coverage today. Peters better figure this part out quick or we’re in serious trouble.
