Player Power Rankings: February 26, 2018
By Vanessa Jang
6 years agoViva Las Vegas! The Canucks played their much-anticipated first game at T-Mobile Arena by the densely populated Las Vegas Strip this week. They lost, but I doubt that came as a surprise considering Vegas’ home ice curse… I mean advantage. Here are my ranking of each player’s week:
1. Daniel Sedin
He’s still going strong from last week! He has 9 points in his last 7 games
2. Henrik Sedin
One can’t rank Daniel and not have Henrik right ahead (or behind) him. Henrik hasn’t been playing too bad himself with 4 points in his last 5 games.
3. Jacob Markstrom
He came off an injury yesterday and put on a 40-save performance in Arizona. What remedies did this guy use?
4. Darren Archibald
He scored a nice goal yesterday:
5. Brock Boeser
He turned 21 yesterday!
7. Alex Edler
He tried to be like Jacob Markstrom, but failed. At least he tried, though.
8. Derrick Pouliot
He made a nice pass to Daniel yesterday:
9. Bo Horvat, Brandon Sutter, Ben Hutton and Jacob Markstrom (again)
They looked like a group of lawyers who just won a big case:
10. Erik Gudbranson
He dresses nice and looks like a model, even when someone’s chasing him down for an autograph:
11: Sam Gagner
Just look at this pass:
12: Sven Baertschi
Because he loves being a Vancouver Canuck:
13: Anders Nilsson
Because he’s a great guy!
14. Jake Virtanen
He looks okay too:
15. Michael Del Zotto
Because of the subtle statistics:
16. Troy Stecher
I felt bad for him after this:
17. Nic Dowd
🙁
18. Alex Biega
He played once this week.
19. Brendan Gaunce, Markus Granlund, Chris Tanev
They’re injured, which sucks.
20. Thomas Vanek
I feel like the trade deadline is his worst time of the year. He’s been with 7 teams in 8 years… yikes…
21. Philip Holm
He finally got his break, but then he was a healthy scratch again.
