Dvorak and Tkachuk do the hard work along the boards and get the puck to Marner who makes things happen.
Tkachuk in a #7 Canucks jersey looks so good in my head.
You can see why Tkachuk has so many secondary assists. Corrals the puck off the boards down low, finds Marner who finds Dvorak. Each plays their role to make that line so effective but it ends up "looking" (to some) like Tkachuk isn't as important as the other two. And certainly Marner is a special junior talent but I don't buy that he carries Tkachuk in the slightest.
It'll be refreshing to see a competent player wear #7. That number has been tainted in the past 5 years.

Tkachuk with the memorial cup winner. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go 3.
God, if the Oilers end up with Puljujarvi...sickening
