I have your gold medal Zippy!
I think from the Canucks POV, the last time a Canucks defenseman led the team in scoring (points) was in 89-90 (Paul Reinhart).

3 in a row. This confirms JT and Petey have made up and given each other BFF bracelets
Pettersson looks engaged. Looks like the prospect of going to Buffalo got his ass on the move.
He just sucks, better see D-Petey next game. Top four solid again and did anyone else notice EP and JT conversing while passing a lot more to each other?
Maybe JR spilling the beans embarrassed them and they decided to stop acting like little beaches?
Lots of positives and what a scary thought when we get the real Demko to go along with Lankinen.
That was the internal meeting. They all listened to Taylor Swift while making bracelets then someone said ‘Hey you know what we should do? We should string some wins together’
Forbort Hronek looks surprisingly solid recently. The newest revelation is that Forbort is showing better than Soucy, who looks cooked.

Meier was traded at the deadline though right?
So Karlsson ended up being way ahead because they traded the guy closest to him.
Pius Suter has tied Canucks legend Mark Messier (and various others) for 35th in franchise history with 2 empty net goals
Hoglander
I'm Höglander. I can do whatever I want.
The turtle was ugly, but the refs were really trying their best to get the Preds a 2nd goal. Absolutely ridiculous amount of infractions ignored, as the Preds were highsticking constantly and diving all over the place. Disgusting.
And what was Forsberg thinking? Bitching at the refs when he literally jumped on Demko deep in the crease. So damn stupid.
Got the win, and Hughes another 2. Nice.
Oh, and f*** the refs

Craig Button predicting that it's likely nothing happens on the Miller-Pettersson trade front until the off-season. I think he's probably right.
Tocchet was pretty luke-warm in his post-game presser about the win. He could see the same thing we all saw in the second and third periods.
Tough game coming up in Dallas on Friday night. But amazingly, they're only two points back of L.A. for third in the Pacific, although the Kings have two games in hand.

People kind of forgot about Forbort because of all the missed games but he's playing exactly like Bruins fans said, solid in his zone and elite pker.
Soucy is cooked but his best two games were with D-Petey so I hope they go back to that.
The rapid decline of Soucy is one of the biggest surprise this season. wtf happened

To be quite honest, I think Hughes putting up points like this is a result of sub-optimal play on his part and is to the detriment of his teammates. Remember 2 years ago when the narrative was that Hughes had everything but a good shot and could stand to both develop a harder shot and shoot more? Well he has corrected too far in the shoot more category. Far too much of the Canucks' offense runs through getting him the puck at the point when he is on the ice, and it shows in the shot locations. As good as Hughes is, the Canucks would be far better off with someone who isn't shooting from the point 90% of the time taking the 8 shot attempts a game that Hughes throws at the net. Hughes has 14 goals, but only 2 unblocked high danger shot attempts all season (MoneyPuck), which is ~10% of the rest of the top 20 scorers in the league. Makar has 13 for comparison. He needs to start deferring more often to forwards, or at least to players that are in better scoring positions. It starts with Hughes, but the Canucks as a team need to take advantage of the fact that he is such a threat to beat his man from the blueline in that teams will cheat to cover him, which will create openings for other players.
In all honesty, we should have resigned Ian Cole. Yes he didn't look good during the last stretch but most of the season he played like a top 4 dude for us.

I thought Joshua again was horrible he needs to be in Abby for a stint. I thought everyone but him and Soucy/Juulson played good enough as it seemed 90% of the preds shots 5on5 came with those 3 on the ice.
Would like to see Raty in over Joshua and Aman in for Digissepe
Ya but where does Suter rank in ENPPG?
Best Demko has looked since things happened.
2 good pairings >> 1 good pairings. Bout time ffs.
EP40 + JTM still the best path to glory. So effin stupid.
Sad to celebrate low bars like a 3 game win streak , but
Now let's catch LAK.
Still need to add a top4 dman, regardless whatever else happens.
Yeah I feel like he probably was one of those lockeroom vets that kept the vibes good. That was a big mistake not keeping him for at least 1 more season.

But we can probably re acquired players like him if we are going to contend, it's not the end of the world
Glad they got the win but dumping it out hockey is not championship hockey. At some point you get a bad bounce and its 2-1 preds instead, your basically rolling the roulette wheel playing that style.
Demko was good and this wont be popular but i still feel he was out of position at times and had some bad rebounds but the preds simply missed or flubbed the shot or screwed up.
I still feel more confident with lanks in net.
