Every bit as frustrating as our poor puck management is the almost total lack of a physical presence. We play like the other team are wearing non-contact jerseys. Instead of actually hitting a player with the intent of separating the puck and/or causing a turnover, we poke with our sticks, do a skate by or gently bump them while leaving them in control of the puck. That to me is the defining culture of the canucks and has been this entire century. We haven't played physically as a team since the 90s with Williams, babych, Linden etc. We are easy to play against whether we outscore our opponent or not.
