Vancouver Canucks President Jim Rutherford recently spoke on the "After Hours" show about the team’s struggles at home. The Canucks have a 15-9-5 record as of mid-December, sitting in fourth place in the Pacific Division with 35 points. Their home record (5-7-4) is a major issue, while their road record (10-2-1) has been strong.
Speaking about this phenomenon, Rutherford pointed out that the team sometimes beats itself as they don’t play with the same urgency at home.
"We beat ourselves at home sometimes, I'd say probably 2-3 games this year." Rutherford said, "We don't play with the same urgency at home. On the road, we seem to be more comfortable. Most teams like to put on a little more of a show at home, and I think we try to do that sometimes."
