The reason the Canucks get shakebitten, is other teams run roughshod over Vancouver. When you have no way of dictating the play of the game. At the very least if the other team hates playing against Vancouver, that's a step in the right direction. Having Speed, Size and Skill means you get more control of the puck. You can stop attacks, or at least cut the scoring chances to keeping the opposition on the boards, so there's no quality scoring chances.
