The Vancouver Canucks are a much more exciting team this year. Team defence is still the primary priority, but head coach Travis Green has given us fun hockey to watch. It is a refreshing change from the soul-sucking trap game employed by Willie Desjardins.
The team has been successful this year and despite the 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames, the team still needs help scoring goals. As of writing, the team is ranked 20th in goals for, according to the NHL stats page. This is a vast improvement over last year, but if the team wants to be a legitimate contender, it’s preferable that our goal scoring is in the top half of the league.
