How Good is the Vancouver Canucks Shutdown Line?
There’s no one that thought Brandon Sutter, Derek Dorsett and Markus Granlund would form the Vancouver Canucks top line heading into the season.
Hell, fans were celebrating during training camp when Sutter ended up on the fourth line.
Yeah, Travis Green pulled a fast one over all of us.
His idea of putting Sutter and Dorsett together to form a shutdown unit was an interesting one. Through nine games, it’s clear that Green is a matchup coach to a tee.
That’s the only explanation for Green playing the line upwards of 15 minutes per night.
