The Canucks Give Another One Away

Ben Kuzma of The Province has a fun holiday wrap up of last night's Canuck loss to the Los Angeles Kings 4-3. "In the spirit of the season, the Vancouver Canucks were in a giving mood Monday. For the gesture, they received a lump of coal as Alexander Frolov scored the only shootout goal to give the Los Angeles Kings a 4-3 win."

But the key part to the whole two game slide is this:

For the second straight game, the Canucks blew an early 2-0 lead and surrendered a shorthanded goal. After the Canucks talked themselves hoarse about improving special-teams play -- they allowed three power-play goals and went 0-for-6 with the man advantage Saturday in a 5-4 overtime loss to Edmonton -- they didn't deliver.

Ouch.
