The Vancouver Canucks’ season-long frustrations sharpened Friday night as they fell 4-1 to the Utah Mammoth at Rogers Arena extending their losing streak to four games and dropping them to just one win in their last eight outings.Utah controlled the night almost from puck drop. Mikhail Sergachev opened the scoring on a first-period power play, Nick Schmaltz doubled it in the second and Kevin Stenlund added a goal and assist in a late push that effectively sealed the result. John Marino’s empty-netter capped Utah’s win while Canucks winger Arshdeep Bains provided the lone Vancouver goal midway through the third.The loss only intensified the mood around a fan base already pushed to its limit. As the final horn sounded, Canucks fans took to X with a mix of sarcasm and resignation.One fan summed up their frustration with the team’s stars and leadership, writing:“Brilliant showing by Hughes and Petey once again. What great leaders.”Al @Al_SportsLoverLINK@Canucks @McDonaldsCanada Brilliant showing by hughes and petey once again. What great leaders.Another went further, calling out the team’s effort and direction:“Team full of passengers. It is insane. The most checked out captain I've ever seen. Lmao. Disgrace.”For a growing section of the fanbase, the conversation has shifted from “fix it” to simply giving up:eric wambacher @ericwambacherLINK@Canucks @McDonaldsCanada Really good tanking job. Good L boysFed Up Canuck @UpCanuckLINK@Canucks @McDonaldsCanada Huge L boys!!! This loss should be especially demoralizing, perfect for the tankSome fans see opportunity in making the draft lottery.“Honestly, this is the season for the tank… if we sell the right ones & draft high, this draft could change the team for the better. Challenge is convincing Hughes there is a future,” wrote one user.JoshA🌑 @AdesiyanJoshLINK@Canucks @McDonaldsCanada At this point this season is what it is. Perfect storm of bad, terrible injury luck, terrible systems, can't win games regardless if they outplay the other team. Just bad overall unfortunately. Hopefully this season kicks off the start of a bright future at least..Others simply view the season as a lost cause defined by rotten luck and broken systems.Elias Pettersson reflects on Canucks’ rough patchFollowing Vancouver’s fourth straight defeat, Elias Pettersson spoke with reporters and echoed the frustration running through the locker room. Despite generating pressure and controlling stretches of play, the Canucks again failed to convert chances, a theme Pettersson returned to repeatedly.“Yeah, it's tough. I think we definitely created a lot to win the game… had some good looks, but yeah,” he said.Pettersson noted the power play had some good moments, but admitted there’s room for improvement as a unit.“I don't know if we're trying to find perfect play or if we don't win back pucks after shots… we just have to come together as a five and be better,” he said. “We believe we can win every game… we're giving effort every game, and yeah, it's not bouncing our way.Despite the streak of tough losses, Pettersson said belief remains high in the locker room and that they are looking ahead to the next game.
