from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,
Saturday night, the Canucks dropped a 4-1 decision to the Calgary Flames, their fourth straight loss and third on home ice — which is alarming enough.
But it's only part of the story.
The Canucks might be five points back of third place in the Pacific Division, but they're also five points ahead of a group of teams which occupy the NHL cellar.
Here's something else to consider. After Saturday night's loss, there's exactly one NHL team with fewer wins than Willie Desjardins' team. The Toronto Maple Leafs have 19 wins on the season. The Canucks have 20.
It's about time they give up on the fantasy that this is a playoff team and start thinking about the deadline.
