Canucks’ performance on recent road trip has revived the nightmares from the last three years
While we wait for Quinn Hughes, here’s something else that feels like it takes too long, the Monday morning musings and meditations on the world of sports.
If they don’t, if we’re looking at another free fall over the final months, ownership will have to make changes and it won’t be the coach this time. • The deadline trade which sent Jonathan Dahlen to the San Jose Sharks for the immortal Linus Karlsson sets up as a test case for GM Jim Benning and his administration. Following a storybook season with Timra in the Swedish second division last season, Dahlen projected as a key piece of the Canucks’ rebuild.
The Canucks, who want to play a speed-and-pressure game, just didn’t see an impact player in Dahlen. If that’s the case, nothing to see here. Let’s move on.• With a new coach and completely revamped lineup, there are more than a few challenges facing the Whitecaps this season which is why getting off to a quick start is imperative for this team.
But, from the time they were teenagers, there was a connection between Shane Doan and Jarome Iginla. They emerged as impact players about the same time. They established themselves as the respective faces of their franchise about the same time. They enjoyed their peak years and, yes, even started their decline about the same time.
