The Canucks came into Los Angeles on the back of an embarrassing loss in San Jose, riding an eight-game losing streak. The story practically wrote itself before the puck was even dropped.
Is there an end to rock bottoms for this team? Embarrassing losses to good teams are one thing. Managing to lose to the Canucks — see again: eight-game losing streak — however, that’s something different entirely.
The game wasn’t even fun-bad; you know, the kind of game where the Kings put 45 shots on net and still lose. The kind of chaos that at least makes for tense viewing.
