How about those Canucks?! The last three games for this team brings back some playoff type vibes. Players seem willing to skate hard, finish checks, forecheck and shoot the puck. I wonder why they weren’t willing to do that before?
The Canucks face a Winnipeg team that has lost a goal-scorer in Laine and gained a playmaker in Dubois. That’s a scary thought. Winnipeg already has some goal scorers and having one more guy to feed them the puck is an improvement. And this team needs to improve. The Jets are playing .500 hockey and lack the defensive intensity they had last year.
