There are a lot of negative storylines around the #Canucks right now, but one of the most concerning is the total erosion of team defence.

Demko is expected to miss 2-3 weeks per @frank_seravalli.
The #Canucks play six games in the next 14 days, with five of them against top-tier teams. This includes a B2B against the Florida teams.
Going to be tough going for Lankinen.

Quinn Hughes is shaken up after getting tangled with a Jets player.
This would be a disaster for the #Canucks. He's being looked at by a trainer.

Logan Thompson finished fourth in Vezina voting last season. He's playing even better to start this year.
Despite that, he doesn't seem to be on Team Canada's radar. And the reason apparently doesn't have to do with his play.

The read on the #Canucks coming into the season was that if everything went right, they’d make the playoffs.
They’ve done nothing to prove that idea wrong.
And that’s a problem.
It's early but we're rapidly approaching the 1/4 season mark.
