With 42 games in the books, over half the season is complete and the Canucks find themselves sitting just shy of the .500 threshold.
Despite having a record of 10-4-3 under Bruce Boudreau, the playoffs still seem like a mere fantasy for the Canucks.
Realistically, they probably need to win at least 25 of their next 40 games to have any chance of qualifying for the postseason.
That’s where the Canucks find themselves after dropping their last two contests.
On Sunday, with 4 goalies in Covid protocol, the Canucks were forced to put 22-year-old Michael Dipietro in between the pipes against the St Louis Blues.
