Post-Game Talk: GM11 | Canucks defeat Ducks | 5-1 (Boeser, Sherwood, Pettersson, DeBrusk, & Heinen) | QUINN HUGHES IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

That Blueger-Sherwood-Heinen line is looking great.

Play with drive and pace, support each other well on the rush.

Right now the Ducks are using McTavish, Zegras and Carlson down the middle. and all of them are 23 and under. I realize there's such a thing as 'learning on the job' but seems to me all the Ducks will do is ruin their development.

And looking around the Honda Centre.......the barn looked half empty. Maybe the election had something to do with it, but this franchise isn't in a very good place right now.

They could have been rolling
Lindholm Theodore
M. Pettersson Montour

To draft those 4 in a 3 year period and not have a single one on their roster.

Only got to see bits of the first and third between hockey practices but man, felt like our most complete effort of the year.

Quinn Hughes is just amazing. This team is so damn fortunate to have him.

Kevin Lankinen just keeps on delivering the goods. Still can’t believe he was sitting there unsigned before camp.

And speaking of bargains, Kiefer Sherwood continues to look awesome.

Great to see DeBrusk and Petey hit the scoresheet too. Hopefully both are heating up.

Small sample at this point but they’re running a 57% CF/xGF rate together. Even if they fall back down to earth a bit, that’s a great third line cobbled together with $5 million/year in UFA contracts.

Is there a “chirps per second” metric? I feel like Sherwood would be leading the league in that.

Still have Joshua coming back soon.

Forward group is extremely versatile and skilled this year.

It's wild essentially having four lines that can score. I read a lot of projections going into the season about people thinking the Canucks have one of the deepest forward groups in the league and so far it is true. That is with a struggling Petey and a seemingly hampered Miller. No Joshua either. It seems like one of Blueger, Suter, Sherwood and Heinen take turns each game having a major impact on the scoresheet. Oh and Garland has taken another step. He is straight up playing like a first line winger so far this season. He is all over the ice and is getting some PK time now too. That's not mentioning players like Hoglander and Sprong who are both skilled and can score along with Hog being a puck battling winning machine on the forecheck.

Not even at their peak potential in the slightest and still one of the deepest forward groups this franchise has ever had.
