I dislike bumped threads, they make me see hope from when we were good
He's been great this year.
I figure player discussion/appreciation threads should be bumped regardless of age, seems silly making a new one.

Higgins had been great, one of the only bright spots in this slumptastic season.
I don't remember any pre season analysis that had the Canucks missing the playoffs.

Love it when he sneaks behind their D.
Bump! Higgins with the SO goal...
Also Looks to me like Higgins Bonino Burrows line has potential to be good, I know its not the line everyone wants to see but I like the look of it... If we could run a 2a 2b type setup with Vey, Kassian, and whoever is playing well...
Good place to start IMHO and from there seems like Coach D is not afraid to mix the lines up...
Think ZK was demoted in the 3rd. ZK and Vey need a defensive/2 way player to play with since both are below average defensively. Its really more like a 3a/3b/3c system we run right now. Or top 3, bottom 9. Our 4th line has players that pretty much can entirely interchange with the 3rd line and for the most part, we don't worry about having them out on a regular shift. Afterall, 2/3 of them are on the PK and Dorsett has PK experience too...
Loved his work on that first PK tonight, and was very noticeable throughout the game
He's one of those guys that just always giving an honest effort.
And there's a pretty damned good talent level as well.
I know its all the rage to hate on Kesler these days... But I think it is time to start considering the possibility that the reason most of our 2nd liners looked like good 3rd line guys was in fact the one common denominator on the 2nd line...
because Higgins has stepped up a level this year... sure seems to be scoring more points
