The Canucks’ Recent Point Streak is Potentially Damaging Long-Term (Jackson McDonald)
“Each minute the Canucks remain in the hunt is another moment the front office continues to believe their direction is sound, the plan working, that they can retain their veterans and lose them for nothing, and everything will be okay if they keep on doing whatever exactly it is that they’re doing.”
Alex Burrows Highlight’s TSN’s Annual Trade Bait Lists (J.D. Burke)
“Maybe Burrows, who’s in the twilight of his career, wants a shot at contention. He’s not getting that in Vancouver whether he sticks it out this season or re-signs for the next. His hometown Montreal Canadiens are in the hunt. Maybe there’s a fit?”
Midterm Prospect Rankings: 16-15, 14-13, 12-11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
Consolidated 2017 Draft Rankings (Jeremy Davis)
Top 5 Henrik Sedin Moments (Grainne Downey)

The Games

Sunday, January 15: VAN 1 – NJD 2
“This was low-event hockey at it’s finest, with each team registering just 22 shots apiece. So you just knew it had to go to overtime.”
Tuesday, January 17: VAN 1 – NSH 0
“Going against the recent NHL trend, the Canucks continued their streak of playing in low-scoring affairs again Tuesday night.”
Friday, January 20: VAN 2 – FLA 1
“Henrik Sedin scored his 1000th point, on a beautiful goal no less, making him the first player to do so in a Canucks uniform.”
