Canucks receive Capital punishment lose 4-0

Washington MD

In what has been a recurring trend in the first handful of games rang out loud and true again. Once again a parade to the sin bin cost the Canucks any chance at winning this game. They also managed to give up a shorty as well.

The game got out of hand in the second when 3 straight special teams goals paved the way for the Caps to win. Second period goals by Morrison, Handzus and Hossa sealed the fate of the Canucks. In the third Morrison popped his second of the game and tenth of the young season.

After the game GM Shepherd was spotted on the phone possibly to make a move. We caught up with GM Shepherd and asked him about the phone call. On record he said "We are looking at all avenues to better this team. We want to win now. If these guys won't do it I will bring in guys who will."

Speculation around the league was that Brent Burns was on the verge of being dealt to San Jose.
