The hand isn’t hovering directly over the panic button, but in Vancouver it’s always close by. From the middle of February to the middle of March the Canucks lost 11 of 16, including a disappointing 8-3 drubbing at the hands of the Red Wings, and lackluster efforts against some of the poorer teams in the […]
