With just 12 games to go in the season, the Canucks have entered that time of year again where the stretch of meaningful games has pretty much come to an end.
70 games into the campaign and sitting at just 74 points, making the playoffs is going to take a miracle for this team at this point, although if you look at it from a deeper perspective, the chances of this happening are essentially impossible.
Nontheless, it isn’t over till its over and until the Canucks are officially eliminated from playoff contention, anything is possible.
Over the last 2 games, with the Canucks hanging against the ropes, the team failed to build any momentum for a late season playoff push as they dropped the first game of this set to the St Louis Blues by a score of 4-3 on Wednesday, before losing 3-2 in overtime to the Golden Knights on Sunday.
