Vancouver Canucks: 3 keys to victory over the Avalanche

The Vancouver Canucks may be at the bottom of the NHL standings, but they sure know how to play like a legitimate champion from time to time. For those of you who missed it, this rebuilding squad completely dominated the red-hot Boston Bruins on Saturday night, crushing them with a 6-1 victory.

Head coach Travis Green has found some crafty ways to expose the flaws of Cup contenders. Remember, this is a team that pulled off a season series sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins. They’ve also beaten other contenders like the Minnesota Wild (twice), Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators and others.
