THREE CAN PLAY THAT GAME J.T.

STREAK SNAPPERS Defeating Calgary by a score of 7-1 on Feb. 24, Vancouver became the first team in NHL history to beat an opponent on a 10+ game winning streak by six or more goals. MOTTE SO FAST Tyler Motte (0:11) scored the fastest goal from the start of a game by any player this season on Feb. 21 vs SEA. It also equaled the fourth-fastest to begin a game in franchise history: Alex Burrows (Mar 16/13) :06, Trevor Linden (Jan 16/94) :09, Henrik Sedin (Oct 24/14) :10. NEED FOR SPEED The Canucks scored in the opening 35 seconds of multiple periods in the same game for the seventh time in franchise history (Feb. 21 vs SEA) and second time in as many seasons. The last such instance was Mar. 20/21 vs MTL when they tallied 22 seconds into the second and third periods. THE HITS KEEP COMING Luke Schenn leads all Canucks skaters in hits (181), having led or co-led the team in hits on 23 occasions so far this season, despite appearing in only 37 games. His 15.24 hits per 60 minutes currently rank third among defencemen League-wide (min. 5 GP). O.T. MILLER Securing the win in overtime on Feb. 17 at SJS, J.T. Miller tied Alex DeBrincat for most overtime goals (6) since the start of the 2019.20 season.

Nucker 67 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thinking, Jack probably bugs Quinn a bit about VAN's record (streak) against NJ, lots of trash talk. But it ends tonight, and VAN wins. Get ready to buy a painting, Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 so that means that Halak's bonus kicks in with tonights game. He's already said that he won't agree to any trade, so we're stuck with him for the duration of this season. oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
