Canucks still fighting for their first win of the season

Posted on by

The Vancouver Canucks are back on the ice and have officially commenced their new season, however it’s already off to a shaky start.

The much anticipated first few games of the new season looked promising, as the Canucks embarked on their 5-game road trip, however they just had their second loss in a row against Philadelphia Saturday afternoon. It looked hopeful as the Canucks started off with a promising early lead of 2-0 until the Flyers impressively came back with Travis Konecny locking in a win of 3-2 with just over 6 minutes left in the third period.

 

This is the second loss in a row for the Vancouver Canucks since the series kicked off against the Edmonton Oilers on October 12th, which saw a similar situation where they lost a multi-goal lead to the other team. The first time in franchise history where they have kicked off the season with two straight losses. 

With the loss of Tucker Poolman in the game’s second period of the game due to an undisclosed injury, the Canucks are already short another defensemen as the season kicks off, which could be another reason to them not being able to maintain a consistent lead. Still, fans are worried that the promises of this years success will not come to fruition.

There’s still hope for a comeback this week as they head out to Washington to face the Capitals on Monday night. The Capitals had a first game loss to Toronto for their season opener and just came back with a 3-1 win yesterday evening against the Montreal Canadians.
