You're telling me the Canucks got two shutouts in one game the same day the Oilers managed to lose the same game twice.

I'm sure Demko just tweeked something, might be a hidden blessing that Demko sits a bit in the short term and the Canucks are motivated to keep their defensive game at high alert.

Obviously a fantastic performance all around but look at these Hughes numbers from naturalstattrick:

Wtf...

Long overdue to say this: Hughes is like the Sedins in how he changes the complexion of the game for the Canucks, by being insanely good at hockey.

He’s really done an excellent job of improving his deficiencies and “hacking” the game to the Canucks advantage- even when not scoring. He has the puck so often and knows where it needs to go next, he stays unpredictable, he gets his shots thru, and he’s f***ing smart.

You’ll notice at one point tonight he drove an extended zone possession shift, and he intercepted a puck and immediately turned it back and got an offensive zone draw for the next guy, and we have some great faceoff takers. It’s bumping our possession numbers up. Its phenomenal the impact he has on a game.

I even then, I haven’t seen anyone do it as dynamically, diversely as Hughes. He single-handedly turns the tide around. He is playing generational hockey right now. Seriously.
