Canucks Player Power Rankings – April 6th 2015

Apr 6, 2015, 13:53 EDTUpdated:

Welcome to what could be the penultimate power rankings of the Canucks’ season. Yikes.
1. Alex Burrows:
Good Guy Alex Burrows helped out Eddie Lack on the ice and off it this week, scoring four goals and finding a shoe:
2. Radim Vrbata:
Radim Vrbata scored yet another nice goal and earned himself yet another nickname, this one courtesy of Youtube User Kay Lou.

3. Daniel Sedin:
Daniel Sedin is floating around the top-10 in NHL scoring. As Daniel says himself, he’s not 34 years old, he’s 34 years young.

4. Henrik Sedin:
Henrik Sedin, unlike many people who cover his team, is not treating a .500 road trip like a 6 game losing streak.
5. Chris Higgins:
Chris Higgins’ powerplay goal in Nashville was like Sedinery without the Sedins.
6. Alex Edler:
It’s a real good thing that having a personality doesn’t make you a better hockey player.
7. Chris Tanev:
Chris Tanev’s unfancy stats are not usually discussed, but this is kind of a funny tweet:
8. Nick Bonino:
Nick Bonino’s pet peeves, according to his teammates: missing empty nets, jokes about his receding hairline, and Jannik Hansen.
9. Eddie Lack:
This week, Eddie Lack couldn’t decide between being a human-crab hybrid and a soap opera star.

10. Sven Baertschi:
Sven Baertschi played one game with the number 42, but has now decided to leave Kyle Wellwood’s legacy alone, switching to Yann Sauve’s 47.
11. Dan Hamhuis:
Still goalless, Hamhuis is contributing in other ways (much to Kevin Bieksa’s amusement)

12. Jannik Hansen:
The most unexpected Jannik Hansen scenario occurred this week:
13. Shawn Matthias:
After taking advantage of a sloppy Blues’ line change, Shawn Matthias scored his 18th of the year. That’s good, Shawn.
14. Bo Horvat:
Bo Horvat, who turned 20 this week, is looking out for his new roommate Sven Baertschi:
“I’ll be like his role model,” laughed Horvat, who is sharing a room with Baertschi.
15. Yannick Weber:
The Canucks held their own little Geneva Conference in Winnipeg on Saturday.
16. Derek Dorsett:
Derek Dorsett is not the best forward on the Canucks’ roster. He may in fact be the worst. But he made Duncan Keith look stupid, so he’s got my vote for team MVP
17. Luca Sbisa:
Bieksa forgot to mention his defensive partner when he tweeted this photo of Sbisa, Lack, and Burrows out shopping in Winnipeg. Sbisa’s on the far left, posing in a suit.
18. Kevin Bieksa:
As of Sunday afternoon, the Canucks Army reader vote for the Babe Pratt trophy, awarded each year to the Canucks’ best defenseman, sees Kevin Bieksa losing to Other:

19. Jacob Markstrom:
There’s a part of me that wants to see Jacob Markstrom get some game action as a skater, allowing this to happen:
20. Ryan Miller:
Hockey Wives update: Either Noureen DeWulf is discussing the effects of pregnancy, or Ryan Miller is going to have a tough time getting back into game shape.

21. Brad Richardson, Ryan Stanton, Zack Kassian:
1/3 of this crew actually showed signs of life this week. Nice!
