Vancouver's Kryptonite

The Canucks have all elements of their game rolling right now. They have four lines working for 60 minutes. Both their PP and their PK are in the top 4 in the league. They are dominating the faceoff circle. Specifically in their last three games, they have outscored their opponents 17-5. In these games, the defense has been mostly poised with the puck, making simple plays and moving the puck up ice quickly.
So the question is... Why the hell can't they do this against Chicago?

Game Day Recon #23 - Canucks @ Flames
In recent years, games between the Flames and the Canucks were meaningful, emotional battles that were must-see TV. This season, with the Flames struggling, the battle has lost some of its lustre but there is no doubt that these two teams simply DO NOT like each other. And given that this is their first meeting of the year, both teams will be looking to come out flying.
That has all the makings of a really good tilt.
Blessed Are The Playmakers

I'm going to go off on a bit of a rant, channeling my inner Dave Pratt, channeling his inner Dennis Miller. Why, oh why do we perpetually disrespect the playmaker while building shrines to the all mighty goal scorer? I know it's easier to wrap one's mind around the idea of a goal scorer. It's a straighter line, puck goes in the net, goal goes up on the board.
