Bo Horvat After Latest Defeat, 'it just feels like we're never going to win again'

Six games into their season, fans have already littered the ice with Canucks jerseys and even set one on fire. The only silver lining is that North Vancouver-born Connor Bedard could end up there. But the chance of that is still slight and far away, to boot.

The players share fans' frustration, and it is showing. Badly. You can just see the misery oozing out of them after each compiling loss. Captain Bo Horvat was asked about his reaction to the jerseys on the ice and he offered a less than assuring answer.

Considering Horvat's contract expires after this season and contract talks are lukewarm at best, his comments would not instill a lot of confidence in me if I were a Canucks' fan. I could be making something out of nothing -- like the good hockey blogger that I am -- but this really feels like a broken locker room.

Even President Jim Rutherford's comments last night reeked of defeatisms and bad vibrations. The state of the organization -- top-down -- is in disarray. Hopefully, for fans' sakes the team sorts out their issues soon; I'm unsure how much more the city can take.

Perhaps this is all part of GM Patrik Allvin and Gary Bettman's secret plan to land a generational cat in Vancouver.
