The Vancouver Canucks opened their 2016-17 season on Saturday night with a 2-1 shootout win versus the Calgary Flames. The Flames were coming off two straight losses to the Edmonton Oilers. Desperate opponents are often the most dangerous. But, between Ryan Miller‘s heroics and some late Sedinery, the Flames ended up being the least of Vancouver’s concerns.
The biggest threat to the Canucks right now are the Canucks themselves. And I’m not just referring to Loui Eriksson scoring on his own net.
Instead, I’m referring to head coach Willie Desjardins.
