Has any team struggled to find consistent D-pairings in the past 4 or 5 years more than the Canucks?
Even with guys like Ohlund, Salo, Mitchell, and Ehrhoff, this team constantly melted down on D at times, especially in the playoffs.
Guess who's responsible for the D? Bowness. The only reason he's the assistant coach is because he comes as a package deal with AV.
The only consistent pair he's managed to form is Ballard and Tanev.
