Another Xmas miracle from this enigmatic team. After a shaky first 10 minutes, they proved they can play good team defense; protect a 2-2 tie until late; and then pot a couple of win it.
But the question remains, if they can do it for one night, why can't they do it every game or at least more often?....now it's the Sharks in town for a winnable game after the break and then on to Winnipeg where they almost never win.....but who knows?
Got to feel good for Colin Delia......a journeyman NHL-AHL goalie who might have had the game of his life when the Canucks needed him most.
And for one game at least, the Canucks best players Horvat, Miller and Pettersson outplayed the Oilers dynamic duo of McDavid and Draisaitl. Pushes their record in the Pacific Division to 9-2. Winning a majority of those four-pointers is at least keeping within hailing distance of a playoff spot.
A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all Canucks fans and posters on HF Boards!
