Vancouver Canucks coach calls out team for lingering 'defeated feeling'

During Monday's post-game press conference, Adam Foote, assistant coach, chastised the Vancouver Canucks after their 4-3 loss that extended their winless streak to 11 games and urged players to avoid frustration and stay within the plan.
Foote said the problem has deep roots, with a defeatist pattern predating his time in Vancouver and blamed frustrated reactions like bad changes and slamming the gate.
Evander Kane's deflection briefly put Vancouver ahead 2-1 before the end of the opening frame, but the team surrendered two goals over 88 seconds in the second and couldn't recover despite Drew O'Connor's late goal.
With a 16-28-5 mark, the club is near the bottom of the NHL standings with only four home wins, but Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin affirmed his trust in Foote and the coaching staff Monday.
To fix things, Foote pinned responsibility on the veteran players, saying "We didn't do it a lot at the start of the season and it's lingering back. And we're going to stop it".

Vancouver Canucks coach calls out team for lingering ‘defeated feeling’

VANCOUVER — Adam Foote has seen enough. The Vancouver Canucks head coach is tired of his players getting frustrated and letting their play slip.
