No PGT?

I'll post my thoughts here then:

We are the #1 team in the league for a reason.

And that's because of our high-powered offense.

A 3-goal deficit? We erased that in under 8 minutes.

Great to see Boeser leading the charge because usually he's secondary to Miller or Pettersson, but tonight he was the best forward.

Great 5-min PK as well.

Really felt like once the Canucks took over in the first two minutes of the third, the young CBJ team had no answer. They even looked shook on their 5-min PP.

Thing is, even a 60 goal scorer has 20 or more games that they're not going to get a goal in. But he wasn't looking that great lately. Great to see him break through the slump.
Its probably closer to 30 or more games.

For example McDavid last year only scored goals in 48 games.

20 goals is nothing to sneeze at but it also means you probably only tallied a goal in 15 games or less and there's still 60+ other games.

Call like it is....a gutsy effort from the Canucks.....who went down 1-4 in the second period and battled back to get the game to OT. Even survived a dubious major penalty to Myers in the third period.

A huge night for the Canuck all-stars. Pettersson with two goals and an assist; Miller and Hughes with three assists each.

Canucks are the co-leaders in the President's Trophy race with the Bruins at 71 points at the all-star break. You could have made big money betting on that scenario at the beginning of the season.
