Canucks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Mon, 2010-04-19 09:20

The Canucks have come a long way in two seasons under player agent turned general manager Mike Gillis.

In that time, the team has evolved from a grinding, defense-first group that relied on the stellar goaltending of Roberto Luongo to win low-scoring games to a fast-skating, high-scoring team that featured the NHL's leading scorer—Henrik Sedin, who had 112 points—for the first time in franchise history. They have won consecutive Northwest Division titles and entertained a sold-out building with a team-record 30 wins this season.

In the playoffs, however, the skating, attacking Canucks have done no better then their tight-checking predecessors, bowing out in six games of the second round after blowout losses to the Chicago Blackhawks for two straight seasons.
