-Kevin Lankinen was great in this game. Unfortunately, there are some serious questions in the Vancouver goal crease right now.
-I know he drew a penalty, but man I did not like what I saw from Danton Heinen tonight.
-Similarly, I’ve seen enough of Linus Karlsson. We know what he is. Let’s not keep doing this thing where we think he’s somehow a suitable linemate for Elias Pettersson. There was an instance where the Canucks hit the line with speed on a 3-on-2, but Karlsson decided to flip the puck into the corner instead.
-Another quiet night for Pettersson with his name out there in trade rumours.
-Really liked Elias Pettersson (the defenceman’s) NHL debut. Thought he made some great plays under pressure and showed about as well as you could have hoped for in game number one. I really hope this wasn’t a one and done for him with Tyler Myers coming back next game. Let the kid play until it’s clear he needs more time in the A.
-Kevin Bieksa’s comments about protecting Quinn Hughes were very interesting. Read that story by clicking here. Need more players like Bieksa in this organization. Speaking of which…
-On Friday’s episode of Canucks Conversation, I said I wanted to see more players who showed they wanted to be Canucks, instead of just saying it. Quinn Hughes certainly showed that tonight.
-This team is a Stanley Cup favourite if the NHL only played games on Saturday.
