<p>The Canucks definitely played a full 60 minutes last night and not only did they get another moral victory but an actual victory as well!

<h1>Winnipeg: City of Winning, Streak Two, Doctor Bonnie, and Nate Schmidt?</h1>
<ul>
<li>The Canucks seem to enjoy their time in Winnipeg. They&#8217;ve scored a combined eight goals over their two outings there and don&#8217;t look now but could the Canucks emulate the Montreal Canadiens and destroy the Jets for another two games at MTS? There&#8217;s no Tyler Toffoli for the Canucks but Tanner Pearson could work, right?</li>
<li>With a win this evening, this would be the Canucks&#8217; second win streak of the year. There are no trophies for this achievement but it should be celebrated that this team has that kind of potential.</li>
<li>Dr. Bonnie Henry has unveiled the WHL in B.C. can commence. Great news for draft prospects and fans that get to atten&#8230; nevermind. Seriously, having the WHL up and running is great news and another outlet for hockey to once again flourish. I can&#8217;t imagine a Kia Memorial Cup of Scotia Bank Canada happens but it&#8217;s a start.</li>
<li>Nate Schmidt had a goal and an assist last night which brings hope to the defence. Schmidt has been a tough one to watch this season because there was so much hype leading up to his arrival. He&#8217;s saying all the right things but it&#8217;s good to see he&#8217;s finally hitting the scoreboard. Is another night of helpers in the cards?</li>
<li>This has nothing to do with the Canucks&#8230; and yet it does:</li>
