For the Vancouver perspective, please visit Nucks Misconduct.
At one point,the question had to be asked... was Todd Richards coaching this team?
The break led to a weak shot directly into Luongo's chest, and Luongo skated into the locker room with five straight periods of shutout hockey under his belt against the Wild.
The only good news? They didn't give up any more goal to the Canucks.
Now, you would think a team being beaten up by a division rival, in the midst of an ugly streak of hockey would come out in the third and make a statement that they were at least present in the game. Instead, the Wild curled up in a ball and held on for dear life hoping the Canucks wouldn't make it worse than it already was.
Once again, the Wild leave without scoring a goal, Wild now scoreless in two straight games in Vancouver. This is a team in crisis, and if they don't see it, they are in more trouble than anyone knew.
We are perilously close to needing to ask how Mike Yeo wakes this team up. They have one win in the past 11 games, just one win in nearly a month of hockey, and have scored more than 2 goals just twice in that stretch. They slip a little more with every passing game, and the decisions they are making with the puck are simply uncreative and flat out predictable. You always want to think that pros shouldn't need a butt chewing, but these guys need a butt chewing.
