The Vancouver Canucks looked threatening on Friday. Then, yet again, the game fell apart, and the New York Rangers took a 5-1 win, Vancouver Is Awesome reported.

The loss adds to a losing skid for Vancouver's NHL team, which is still searching for a consistent game. For Canucks supporters, the pattern in Friday's result is a familiar one: promising stretches that do not carry through to the final score.

Winger Brock Boeser was candid after the game about how the team felt.

"It's frustrating, obviously," he said.
