Somewhat Lacking... Canucks @ Carolina

I thought about putting together some elaborate pregame analysis, but instead, I am going to use this opportunity to bring you a new feature:

Presented without comment, the thoughts of a couple fans re: John Scott.

Wut the wut?! Jeezus, Canucks should have offered Prust or Dorsett. https://t.co/JfBWupJeRm

Canucks could've used John Scott on the PP.Just stand in front of the goalie.That's it. Wouldn't even need a stick for deflections #nohands

Jim Benning, please pick up your phone and trade for John Scott. It's not like the Canucks can get any worse. Chris Higgins for John Scott.

Still think certain refs don't look the other way on the Canucks? Kelly Sutherland thought this wasn't a penalty last night:

#Canucks updates: Dorsett out with flu, so McCann plays and likely 4th line. Vrbata up with Sedins and Burrows-Vey-Etem in tact #TSN1040
