An enormous effort by the Canucks see them break another losing streak by defeating Stanley Cup Finalists, Montreal to maintain their 28th position in the standings and last in the Pacific division. A loss would have resulted in dropping to 29th.
Green had the team go all out on offence, to play run and gun the whole game sacrificing some defensive play. He rightly judged that Montreal's third string goalie would not be able to match up with his Number One, Demko. That missing over 5 regulars Les Canadiens would not be a match for a fully healthy Canucks squad.
Can it be said the Nucks hung on for a 2-1 victory on the ice but not much traction in the standings? Ya, they beat a team worse than themselves?
And next is a team struggling to overcome covid protocols and behind them as well.
