For the first two games, lets throw out some positives or silver linings.
We played well in Edmonton, but didn't win. That's ok, because that happens in hockey.U get over it. In Calgary, we played hard, seem sluggish at times but at least we didn't get blown out.
Edmonton won the first game even tho i felt we played a better game. Then they played the Kings and that was wild. 6 - 5. It felt like the Oilers played the typical Oilers hockey.
In the end, the Canucks competed. They may not have won, but the compete level is there for the most part at least. It's not over. Maybe as long as the compete is consistent, it might get better as the season progresses, when the players get to know each other.
