Well if the Vancouver Canucks like playing for Alain Vigneault they certainly didn’t show it tonight. What should have been a reasonably easy game as long as Vancouver was prepared to work once again looked like a lifeless pile of ostrich crap.
This can’t continue.
No longer should Canucks fans be forced to stand by and watch a Dan Aykroyd impersonator coach an NHL team.
It is time for a change. I encourage fans to start writing the organization until this situation is rectified.
Highlights
-Schneider was better then average
-Hank scored
- Hansen continues to play well
- We found out just how bad this team needs someone who can win a faceoff
And that’s about it.
