30 Games In... Canucks Team Recap


The Canucks are 30 games into the 2013-2014 NHL campaign.  They sit in 5th place in the tough Pacific Division at 15-10-5, 9th best in the Western Conference.  The Canucks have won only 4 of their last 10 contests, including going 1-5 in their last homestand.

The Road Ahead... 11 December Games Remain

The next month will provide the Canucks a little bit of everything.  7 of their next 11 games will be at Rogers Arena.  They will be on the road one week before Christmas when they face off against conference foes Minnesota, Dallas, and Chicago.

December has always been a historically good month for the Canucks.  It is time for them to take advantage of some home cooking against beatable teams.  The Canucks need to have a winning month to stay afloat in the very tough Western Conference.

Until next time, stay classy! -George
