This is the hottest take within the realm of possibility I’ve seen on this site in months.
Best performance of the season given the circumstances.
Were really unlucky to be down 2-0 and had been the better team to that point and it would have been easy for a slumping team low on confidence to fold up shop and think it just wasn't their night against the best defensive team in the NHL. Instead they absolutely dominated the last 30 minutes of the game and deservedly got the win.
JT f***ing Miller was absolutely f***ing fantastic, one of the most character performances I can ever remember in a regular season game from a Canuck. Led us back into this game, assisted on all 3 goals, hit everything that moved. What a f***ing player.
Zadorov played his best game as a Canuck and Myers was also excellent aside from the dumb slashing penalty.
Hughes-Hronek have looked tired but really found their legs late.
PK was excellent, gave Boston nothing.
Boeser wasn't great for most of the night but props for showing up at the end.
Cole looks *tired* and should be game managed down the stretch.
Pettersson showed the most jump he's showed since the ASG in the last 30 minutes of this game.
Demko was rock solid. Nothing really he could do on either goal.

It's 20% this year. Admittedly inflated above his career average which is 13%.
One thing to consider though is this year overall isn't some huge anomaly. In 2020 and 2017, his production was a bit lower (55 points in 62 games, 49 points in 56 games) compared to a PPG atm. And those were during years were the Canucks weren't as offensively talented.
Fair enough to not like other parts of his game, but he's still the 2nd best goalscorer on the team and not so easily replaceable.

I don’t know if I have blinders on but I love Zadorov. I think his untapped potential is slight, but I do see the same thing. I’d love to re-sign him as soon as we finish Blueger.

Just imagine what he’s going to sound like in June when Hughes is raising the Cup.

Gonna have to give Benning credit where credit is due for that Miller trade.

Thank you Canucks my heart could only take so much more during this losing streak 
Team was pretty moribund for most of the first 40 minutes and was lucky to not be in a deeper hole because the Bruins weren't played great themselves. But then really stepped on the pedal in the 3rd period and earned the comeback. Good to see Boeser work himself into the right places after making soft plays earlier in the game and get rewarded in spades for it, the stars needed to step up and they did.

Demko kept us alive when we needed him but gotta give a nod to Zadorov. Easily his best game for us. Miller? Goes without saying. Man is the heart of this team. Ryan Kesler 2.0
Jt Miller can you share some of those balls with ep )

Hughes, Miller and Garland are our most important players. And Demko.

5th overall.
If you were asked to come up with the ideal way for a team to snap a 4 game-losing streak, this game would have to be it. Just a completely dominant 3rd-period performance, and they were carrying play from the start of the 2nd period, but just couldn't solve Swayman. It looked like a completely different team than the one we saw on Thursday night in Seattle, and it was relieving to see them play their dominant, puck-possession style of play after a slew of subpar games where some were starting to question whether the wheels were starting to come off.
Should give the locker room a massive boost of confidence, and hopefully a sign of good things to come for the team as they approach the final stretch of the season.

Got to give the canucks some credit its not easy to come back down 2-0 in the 3rd against a very solid defensive team in Boston.
