Henrik Sedin: Canucks' collapse in Carolina 'unacceptable'

The Vancouver Canucks seemed on their way to a much-needed road win, and then everything fell apart.

That's how captain Henrik Sedin described Tuesday's turn of events in Carolina, wherein his team took a 5-2 lead into the third period, only for the Hurricanes to score six goals in the final frame.

"This can't happen. We had a three-goal lead and then they get one early in the 3rd and we fall apart. Unacceptable." - H. Sedin

With the 8-6 loss, the Canucks finished their five-game road trip with a record of 1-4-0, dropping their overall record to 12-16-2 through 30 games. That works out to a points percentage of .448, ranking them 28th among the NHL's 30 teams.

Canucks president Trevor Linden has said a rebuild would be unfair to Henrik and Daniel Sedin at this stage in their careers, but things certainly appear to be crumbling around them all the same.
