I believed the weak division myth before too than I checked the canucks record against in the past and now I don't believe it anymore. There is even proof it doesn't hold from this season. Our last games with Minny, calgary, and edmonton.
Minny- we have lost all games in a shootout (Used to be able to have at least 2-3 wins against them)
Calgary- We have not blown them out like we used to and all the games we played are 1 goal wins with the exception of that 2-0 win. (We used to be able to score 6 goals on them easy)
Edmonton- I think our games against Edmonton best indicate how our season has went here they are
(Oct) 6-2 Win
(Dec) 4-0 Win
(Jan) 2-1 Win
(Jan) 2-4 Loss
You will notice that the scoring has decreased considerably and the thing that is most concerning to me was that the sedins used to have 3-5 point nights against Edmonton with them setting up Burrows but it is no longer the case. This might have to do with the amount of injuries to our top line but I really think this team is over reliant on the sedins and burrows to score goals. The whole point of Kesler was from him to cover when the sedins haven`t and he hasn`t done that. I have lost count of how many games he has scored in that we have lost this season.
