Not The Way The Canucks Planned To Start

from Ian MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun,
Do we have to take another dozen years of this? Does Roberto Luongo?
In the first home start since his 12-year contract extension, Roberto Luongo was beaten on four straight shots and hooked after 25 minutes and 51 seconds. His goals-against average this season is 4.55, his save percentage .820 and his record 0-3.
Other than that, nothing is fine.
The Canucks lost 5-3 Monday to the Columbus Blue Jackets and are getting worse defensively by the game. Makes you wonder how bad things might be after four or five games.
added 10:05am, from Ray Ferraro of TSN,
My guess with the Canucks is that they expected a smooth start, and when they fell behind in all three games games, disbelief crippled their effort. A kick in the tail like this can quickly shock the system and help a slightly complacent group get back to work. The key is not to panic and try to do your own job and not everyone elses.
