VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks know the one game on, one game off approach isnt going to get them very far. Wholesale Air Jordan Free Shipping .Following a hard-fought 3-1 road win over the San Jose Sharks, the Canucks were badly outplayed in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, blowing a 2-0 lead in the second period while getting outshot 40-16 on home ice. Add a 2-1 overtime defeat to the Anaheim Ducks prior to the San Jose outing where Vancouver salvaged a point despite being outshot 31-14 and the Canucks know they need to string together some better efforts.Its just consistency. Its not the way we play, its a mental thing, Canucks defenceman Luca Sbisa said after Fridays practice at Rogers Arena. Especially after big wins, Im not saying we were too loose (last) night, but sometimes those wins drain you physically and mentally.Youve got to get that consistency down because otherwise in the playoffs youre not going to do too much damage if youre good one night, bad the other night.The Canucks seem to have plugged a leak in their defensive scheme that allowed the New York Rangers to run wild on odd-man rushes in an embarrassing 5-1 loss on Dec. 13, but they know playing on the front foot will also be important in the second half of the season.I think we fall into our system a little bit too much maybe instead of being aggressive and getting on our forecheck. I think thats something that happened against Anaheim as well, said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin. It doesnt matter who you play against. Its all in our heads. We showed against San Jose we can play that way. We just need to be consistent.Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins was forced to pull on the reins after the debacle against the Rangers and said that has cost his team chances at the other end of the ice.If you look at our last games, its not just about scoring, its what youre giving up. We have sacrificed maybe a little bit of what were getting for what were giving up, said the coach. The last few games we havent given up as many really great chances.You cant go out at all costs and see what you can get. We tried that against the Rangers and that didnt work great. You have to try and get a balance in between.The Canucks (21-12-3) sit third in the Pacific Division heading into the weekend and know they will need to be better than they were against Los Angeles when they welcome the Detroit Red Wings (20-9-9) at home on Saturday night.We played well in San Jose against one of the best teams and (Desjardins) told us: If you can do it once theres no reason you cant do it every time, said Sbisa. Weve got to try and be a little more consistent. I think were a little too passive once we take a lead.Thats not how you win games. Thats not a winning mentality.While the Canucks went with the same lineup against Los Angeles as the one that downed San Jose, Vancouver could have forward Zack Kassian back in the fold versus Detroit.The bruising winger has been out with a broken finger since late November, but was a healthy scratch against the Kings — something that didnt sit well with the player.The team was playing well. The team played good in San Jose. Fair enough, said the mercurial Kassian, who has two goals on the season and gave a number of short answers to questions on Friday. Now its my job to go in there an play well.Canucks general manager Jim Benning gave an impromptu scrum with the media inside the locker-room following practice — just a few feet from Kassians stall after most of the players had left — and said despite the struggles he still believes the 23-year-old has what it takes to be successful.But like the current roster as a whole, consistency is key.Zack has got the physical skillset to be a physical player for us, said Benning. Hes got good hands for a big man, but he needs to get to that point where on a night to night basis hes going to be consistently physical and use his frame to take pucks to the net, stand in front of the net, to get rebounds, to get tip ins.Thats the power forward style game. Thats the type of game he needs to play for us to stay in the lineup and for us to be successful.Kassian had 14 goals and 15 assists in 73 games last season, but a lot of those points came at the end of the lost campaign, something that Benning didnt put much stock into on Friday.Sometimes when a teams not playing well and you get those goals or points at the end of the year when the games are meaningless, it doesnt really mean much I dont think, he said. Hes got the physicality and the size to be a power forward for us and hes going to have to embrace that style of game and thats how hes going to help us win.Added Desjardins: I think the jurys out (on Kassian). The jurys out when you have a little bit of inconsistent play. Theres been times when hes been good. I think thats something that occurs over time. Its the same with the team. Wheres the jury on the team? Well it occurs over time doing the right thing all the time.Note: The Canucks placed forward Tom Sestito on waivers Friday in hopes of sending him to the American Hockey Leagues Utica Comets. The Vancouver tough guy had one assist and seven penalty minutes in three games this season while mostly watching from the press box as a scratch.--Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter Jordans Outlet .
