Canucks Lose 5-0: Shooting Blanks

This wasn't pretty. At all. Even the Canucks own website game recap for tonight's loss to the Nashvillians failed to accentuate the positive. Sounds like everyone has pretty much had enough.
They've lost five straight games and have struggled to muster any meaningful offence.

It's safe to say it's getting very cold in the shadows of the Western Conference playoff race.

A 5-0 loss in Nashville and another doughnut on the power play dropped a frustrated Vancouver team right down to the cut-off line.

The Canucks have scored just six goals in their past five games.

But wait, there's more:

Bruised Canuck confidence wasn't getting any help from the power play. They finished 0-for-9 and were held scoreless with the man advantage for the seventh time in 10 games. It's an ugly spree that's prompting squeals of delight in Calgary, Edmonton, and Colorado.

With 15 games remaining, the Canucks are seven points back of the Northwest Division-leading Flames. More frightening, the Canucks are just two points out of ninth.

Now with 15 games left is there anything the Canucks can do? Perhaps some smoke and mirrors type promotions to distract the fans until Crawford (...DaysAreNumbered. Cough. Cough.) gets a handle on things. Something like say, Dick Cheney hunting vest give-away nights? Panic is about to grip the city. Hospitals are going to fill up with those jumping off the Canucks bandwagon. Watch yourselves.
