If Markstrom hasn’t proved his worth enough yet, I don’t know what else he could do.

Him and Petey, with Horvat special mention have made this season

 

[Samzilla]

Markstrom's having himself a helluva December.

 

[Nomobo]

Feels good to steal one.

 

[Brock Boeser]

Elias is a defensive BEAST!!!! What a play in O.T!

 

[CRDragon]

Granlund tried his best to give Calgary the win and still fails. Time to let him go, Benning.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Wow very very impressed with the guys effort tonight..that was unreal.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

Goalie playing really well + amazing production from top line + Bo = I don’t care what they do this year but they are fun to watch. That’s all I wanted from this year.

 

[mossey3535]

That's what Boeser does. Even when he's flubbing the puck like he has lately, any execution whatsoever and he produces.

 

[PavelBure10]

Most exciting Canucks hockey since 2011. I love the fight in this young team.

 

[Canucks LB]

I just love watching these kids play, I wish we started this rebuild sooner

 

[Paulinvancouver]

"go chat over here" = what a momentum killer.

have a good night everyone, happy new year!

 

[mossey3535]

Like theoretically Granlund should be good in OT but when he isn't skating he just isn't fast enough, and you saw that on the second-last play.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

That's what Boeser does. Even when he's flubbing the puck like he has lately, any execution whatsoever and he produces.

Very Brett Hull-like....is Hull even playing?.....yep he has 2 goals and an apple.

 

[Josepho]

give my mans markstrom an assist on that gwg

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Markstrom..unbelievable...The team hung in there long enough to have a chance to win....More winnable games coming up on this trip...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

With the arrival of Hughes, the rebuild will be nearly complete.

We have our franchise cornerstones.

 

[Fire Benning]

I just audibly cheered after a Canucks victory for the first time in like 4 years. What is wrong with me.

 

[mossey3535]

It's funny that after Petey came off kind of quickly, and Bo had just been out I was thinking...who the heck do they have left to put out there?

And then I saw Bae/Granlund and I thought that might be the start of a disaster. And it almost was. Says something about where the team is right now.

We're in a weird place with sporadic production from the top line and newfound consistency from Marky is carrying the day. But we're winning games we don't deserve to. Which is fun because I've been watching more, but maybe not the best position for the team's future.

 

[BerSTUzzi]

With the arrival of Hughes, the rebuild will be nearly complete.

We have our franchise cornerstones.

They are very watchable but far from complete. They need at least a complete overhaul of that D. Hughes plus at least two more.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Very Brett Hull-like....is Hull even playing?.....yep he has 2 goals and an apple.

Ha ha he also has that smirky suave look that Hull had as well.

To be fair, last year's Boeser was at high execution level and was in the right places on both sides of the puck. He wasn't dogging it so much either.

I think he's always going to be somewhat quiet punctuated but sudden bursts of scoring but IMO this season has been an anomaly in terms of how unengaged he has been at times.

Very fair, he is however producing playing well one out of every 6 to 8 shifts. If he can get a quarter step with a full offseason.......yeahhhhhhhhh he is going to be really good.

Edler is MONEY with no shinpads between him and the net

Unfortunately the reality is teams don't just finish building themselves after the cornerstones.

They need a big fish in UFA.

Should be making a big push for Karlsson.
