I don’t think that’s true at all, the only game Demko has had to steal since he came back was the LA game. The rest Canucks have outplayed the other team. Sure he needs to play good but without good goaltending any team would be bad. Boston wouldn’t be nearly as good as they are without Ullmark and Swayman both having vezina caliber seasons. Defensively Canucks haven’t relied on their goaltender nearly as much under Tochett as they did under Bruce. Better systems. That being said, obviously we’re still not there yet. Need a couple more top 4 dmen

I disagree. His passing is only second to Hughes for our D on this team. And his defensive game has been really good tonight

I hope next year we start with an easy schedule and end with a really difficult one. That way our crushing disappointment will be in the spring time instead of middle of winter!

It’s impossible. If Winnipeg only wins 7 of their last 14 games that puts them at 93 points. If Canucks win all of their last 16 games of the season they’d finish with 95 points.

Maybe, maybe not. The bigger difference this year is the management made and is still making changes to the roster. That didn’t happen last year and even under Bruce they were meh defensively. They’ve looked much better defensively and structurally under Tochett. With more changes to come this off season it’s starting to look like they could be building something.

It’s not that far fetched, sometimes it’s difficult to find the right coach for the group of players you have. Maybe Tochett is the right coach, maybe not. But so far they’re looking great under him and playing a much better structured game

Man that short handed goal and his OT goal against Blues is really showcasing Petterssons speed. He definitely worked on his skating cause he’s insanely fast now and getting stronger on his skates. Turning into a bonafide superstar. Love it

I bet we recoup that 1st from Pittsburgh and it ends up being a higher pick than isles

Doesn’t fit into the age group they’ve been trading for this year. Makes no sense

This entire season is the Bruins show unfortunately. I’d be shocked if Canucks won this game. Which I’m okay with cause tank

Lol Oof that’s a bad take. This guy just decided this year to win the rocket Richard because why not (obviously he hasn’t yet but there’s a strong chance he does) and you think he would be in trouble if he got less power plays? No chance. He would adjust and continue to dominate. Mcdavid is unbelievably talented

And Hughes is scoring at an almost PPG pace in the NHL. I agree Nemec is gonna be good but I still don’t like the thought of getting rid of Hughes. The package would have to be monstrous. Correction, Hughes is currently a PPG this year.

That’s a big maybe. You never know what you have in prospects till they play in the NHL. Hughes is an established star. Nerve racking to trade a player like him.

It’s the style, close support from the forward on breakouts with speed. It makes teams look and seem so much faster than when forwards are up near the opposing blue line flat footed.

As long as it’s a clean hit, don’t want to see anyone get injured.
