Post-Game Talk: [GM34] Canucks defeat Sharks | 4-3 (Boeser, Sherwood, & Pettersson(2) | A Christmas Miracle!

The Canucksdesperately need Brannstrom back in the lineup. Sure he's going to lose his share of battles along the wall because of his size.

But he's actually capable of making a decent first pass and skating the puck out of his own zone. Watching some of the lumbering lummoxes in the Canuck bottom four is painful at times.

It's not much wonder the Canucks are struggling to score five-on-five goals. Nobody on the blueline, not named Hughes, can transition the puck. The forwards are dying on the vine for decent passes. It's basically just off the glass and out.....or a blind giveaway back to the point.

It's ugly folks.

Need to let Brannstrom play some power play minutes where defence is not that importNT....he is more than capable of that

Didn't get to watch the game that closely but nice to see Pettersson shoot his shot. That's what this team needs almost as much as another good D-man.
