<\/p>\nIt was the 23rd regulation loss at home for the Canucks. That breaks the franchise record of 22 set in 1997-98. Vancouver, which is last in the league and 13 points behind the Calgary Flames, still has five home games remaining. <\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
It was also the fifth time in the last seven games the Canucks have scored two or less goals. They are 2-5-0 during that stretch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we play too cute,\u201d said Rossi, who earned an assist on Hronek\u2019s goal. \u201cWe play too much on the outside. We\u2019re not going enough to the inside, the dirty areas. I think that\u2019s missing in our game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Canucks started slow. The first period was 5:48 old before Vancouver generated a shot on net and that came on a power play.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first period we didn\u2019t start on time,\u201d said head coach Adam Foote.<\/p>\n
The Canucks had just four shots in the first period and five in the third, when they were pressing for the tying goal.<\/p>\n
Hronek, who scored his eighth goal of the season, said it\u2019s no secret the Canucks need to generate more chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore shots, then have more chances, right?\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to put more pucks on net and try to create chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Blues (28-30-11) also had two goals disallowed.<\/p>\n
Foote said the Canucks are spending too much time in their own end. Too often they make bad changes, which allows the other team to bring the puck back into their end.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to generate offence when you\u2019re in your end and you\u2019re having these changes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When the Canucks do get into the opposition end, they are looking for the perfect play that often isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to get the right shots,\u201d said Foote. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for clean plays that aren\u2019t there. Get pucks down and jam the net.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rossi has been a bright spot in a dark few months for the Canucks. He was obtained in the Dec. 14 trade that send captain Quinn Hughes to Minnesota. The 24-year-old native of Feldkirch, Austria, missed 18 games with an injury.<\/p>\n
Since returning, Rossi has found his legs. His assist extended his points streak to three goals and seven assists in five games while centring a line with Brock Boeser and Liam Ohgren.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just try to play my game,\u201d said Rossi, who has nine goals and 28 points in 37 games. \u201cPlay with a lot of confidence and try to help my teammates and the team to win a game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hronek said Rossi is trying to make a difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s playing amazing right now,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s making plays all over the ice. I think overall that line is working pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Foote likes what Rossi is doing but thinks he can contribute even more.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been pretty good on the offensive side of the puck,\u201d said the coach. \u201cWe want him to pay more attention to the defensive side. That line was pretty hot lately as far as generating offensive chances.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rossi said while the present has been bleak, the Canucks are focusing on the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur locker room is good, we stay positive,\u201d he said. \u201cWe try to work as much as we can, practise and try to learn. When you lose the game it\u2019s not fun. We all want to win but it\u2019s important we learn from all the mistakes and that we build something here.\u201d<\/p>\n
