The Vancouver Canucks are sitting where most fans expected them to, but not in the place where Trevor Linden and co. wanted them to be. They’re the fourth-worst team in the Western Conference with a 17-18-3 record. Bo Horvat leads the team in scoring with a mere 25 points.
Though they sit just three points out of the playoffs, pure logic suggests they’ll eventually regress in the second half of the season (like they usually do).
There’s a team that was once in the position the Canucks are at now, and that would be the Toronto Maple Leafs.
