The Canucks played two games this week and participated in their annual Superskills event, so this week’s power rankings are a little bit about hockey and a lot about cute photos. Read on to find out which Canucks had good weeks and which Canucks have adorable children.
1. Chris Tanev:
Chris Tanev only played one game, but he was the only Canuck to score a goal this week. He continues to be a defensive dreamboat in spite of his likely lingering injury. And his goal song is still the best.
2. Jacob Markstrom:
The best way to win the hearts of Canucks fans is to be Eddie Lack. The second best way is to ruin Ryan Kesler’s day.
Kesler is next for Anahiem to a chorus of boos is stopped by Markstrom.
Chris Tanev’s return sent Andrey Pedan to the press box, but the giant Lithuanian man owned the Canucks Superskills, which took place on Saturday. Pedan won both the fastest skater contest and the hardest shot contest. And he wore a cape!
We have a new winner! Andrey Pedan won the fastest skater in 14.02 seconds and hardest shot with 102mph. pic.twitter.com/mGdG1pSRCF
Neither Sedin got a point this week, but Daniel Played in his 1100th game so he gets to be ranked ahead of Henrik. He is also apparently interested in stealing Jacob Markstrom’s job. We will monitor this situation closely.

5. Henrik Sedin:
Henrik Sedin had a last-minute breakaway against the Ducks and his reaction to his own slow legs is amazing. Total dad move.
Edler-Tanev is such a nice pairing and we are all glad that they have been reunited, but Edler-Baby is a way better combination. Look at the tiny pacifier. Aww.
Alex Burrows snapped a 17-game pointless streak this week. On one hand, this is very good for Burrows so he gets bumped into the top-10 for this. On the other hand, wow.
8. Jannik Hansen:
Hansen received a $2000 fine for diving and was even mocked by Ryan Kesler (haha!) for embellishing, so hopefully both the league and Mr. Kesler saw this:
Oh my goodness Derek Dorsett has a cute baby. With all due respect to Daniel Sedin’s one-hat hat trick, these gifs are now the most important hat-related Canucks content of the season.

10. Chris Higgins and his baby:
Chris Higgins stole his baby’s pacifier so he’s obviously in the top 10. If you disagree with this logic you are in the wrong place.
