this is something i very rarely speculate on, but my gut feeling is that there are serious leadership problems in vancouver. they have way too much talent to just get slammed aside like this. they tend to whine more than other teams and resort to cheap play quickly. seems like there's a lack of accountability starting from the top. i don't have anything to base this on, which kind of makes it a dumb post, but that's just the feeling i get. losing 2 straight games in a row like that at home is straight up embarrassing. I can kind of see this. I mean, their coach was whining about the officiating from last year before the series even started. Talk like that kind of sets a tone. The series isn't over but Vancouver really does seem to quit quickly. (Quick disclaimer. I'm drunk so if I say something stupid let it slide).
