Another dull loss to another poor team puts the Canucks further behind the playoff eight-ball. But, it promises to make the trade deadline, draft, and July 1 interesting.
With apologies to a pair of Vancouver sports radio hosts, Tell Me I'm Wrong -- the tendency among some in the media to blame Willie Desjardins and Jim Benning for this season obscures a key point. This rock bottom has been coming for years. Dave Nonis and Mike Gillis lack of draft success means the team is still relying on Brian Burke draft picks to dive the bus. I'm not surprised at their struggles.
