Thatcher Demko talks Canucks 5-2 loss to Calgary Flames | The Province

Fun night to fright night. How else do you explain the Vancouver Canucks unravelling like a ball of string Monday on the road to turn what was looking like a walk in the park to falling off a cliff. New players still learning the system? No exhibition games to iron out the kinks? From first-period domination of the Calgary Flames to second-period humiliation, it wasn’t so much that the Canucks saw their early dominance and a 1-0 advantage evaporate in the second period. When the Flames struck twice in a span of 1:25 and then bagged a buzzer-beater at end of the middle frame en route to a 5-2 victory, it was almost too much to fathom. __ About: With a storied past and an engaging presence, the Province is a bold, edgy and irreverent force in B.C.
