What a response by this team on this special night but am especially fitting performance by the goalie, Demko.

Vancouver, BC.
Is it just this new vibe Canucks or does that seem like a pretty winnable road trip?

Well don't know if they've been doing it all game but F1 is being a bit more conservative and F2 is holding back. Really letting them funnel the play and then F3 crowds the only lane through the neutral zone and the d-men are at their blueline.

Big adjustment IMO, they were starting to do what was a "demonstrative forecheck" which you often saw under Green where the two forecheckers would go so deep they were stuck every possession and we got beat on stretch passes.

We're not fast enough of a team to be as aggressive on forecheck as Tocchet probably wants. Worked early in the season when the team had legs but now with a typical Canucks schedule I think they should stick with this.
