After going 9-15-2 through 26 games under coach Travis Green to start the 2021/22 season, the Vancouver Canucks have gone 20-8-4 since Bruce Boudreau took ...

His production has seen a minor uptick under Boudreau, but really Motte is the same ol’ Motte he’s been for the past few seasons — and that’s a good thing. Few, if any, other players have responded as well to the coaching change. Since Boudreau was hired, only four other NHL defenders have scored more points than Hughes. Höglander was having a bit of a down season under Green, but now it’s a full-on sophomore slump. Highmore barely played under Green this season, and his success on the fourth line under Boudreau is well-documented. Whether under Green or under Boudreau, Dickinson has an equally miniscule amount of offense to offer. Laying the numbers out like this makes it rather obvious that Chiasson doesn’t have much business in the top-six or on the power play, and it’s definitely a positive that Boudreau seems to mostly feel the same way. Both Green and Boudreau gave Burroughs about the same amount of opportunity, so clearly he’s doing something right. Under Boudreau, Boeser is scoring goals at a rate just shy of his torrid rookie pace. Some players, like Brock Boeser and Tyler Motte, couldn’t have played a full 82-game schedule, and we’ve got more than a full roster’s worth listed, but you’re just going to have to ignore all that. It’s not just the team as a whole that’s performing dramatically better under Boudreau’s guidance. After going 9-15-2 through 26 games under coach Travis Green to start the 2021/22 season, the Vancouver Canucks have gone 20-8-4 since Bruce Boudreau took over.

The comeback effort was solid, said Canucks captain Bo Horvat, but losing in overtime still stung.

Kuznetsov’s only other NHL hat trick came against the Edmonton Oilers back on Oct. 23, 2015… That’s one of the best feelings always.” “Whoever forces that turnover, they’re going to get the three-on-two or two-on-one or a breakaway and that’s usually where the best quality chances come. You don’t do anything and you get the goalie. Ovechkin was booed as he hit the ice for warm-ups and during his first shift of the game, but the crowd didn’t continue to express their displeasure… NOTES: Both sides went 1 for 3 on the power play… And you know, lucky bounce,” Kuznetsov said. Just unfortunate that we couldn’t get the job done.” “This is one of those that pretty much every player wants to score those kind of goals. “Ultimately, we wanted those two points and all the points from here on out are going to be huge for us,” said the Canucks captain, who scored twice in the loss. Today we were on the right side of it. “That’s what leadership is,” Boudreau said.

The good news is the Canucks continue to show the resiliency that has become a trademark of the Bruce Boudreau era.

And when it isn’t it just reaffirms your belief that the universe never wants you to be happy so why bother enjoying anything? And when it isn’t it just reaffirms your belief that the universe never wants you to be happy so why bother enjoying anything? You know how sometimes you watch games and just feel like it’s meant to be a victory?

Vancouver Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said postgame Evgeni Kuznetsov embellished a game-changing penalty in a 3-2 overtime loss last night.

It was a great comeback in the third and great point." Vancouver trails the Dallas Stars by two points for the second wild card into the playoffs from the Western Conference with three more games played. Do they still have spotters in the stands? Kuznetsov’s NHL career began with Washington in 2013. It wasn’t like he skated into him. It wasn’t like he was hurt.

It all felt like a bit of a whirlwind for Mio. In the National Hockey League, it typically takes more than a year for a new jersey to be designed, tweaked, ...

“A lot of it is focused on my university town, Luleå, and their women’s team, which is one of the best in Sweden. The connection I have formed with that through talking with people and meeting people in the city who like hockey — that’s my window into hockey here in Sweden, you know?” “I think the comments I’ve gotten about that hit me the most.” “I’m queer, that’s just a part of me, so that’s always going to be an element of my experience that I put into my art,” Mio said. “Hockey has always been a backdrop to growing up,” Mio said. “Being queer, that will always be a part of it in some way, even if it’s not the driving force.” So that meant my experience began with the NHL, and Swedish hockey came after. “After our initial meeting, I was tasked to come up with three sketches or concepts,” Mio said. “Then I was also very keen on nature, flowers, space, water, skies, which is eventually what became the final Sea to Sky concept. Mio is no stranger to creating hockey designs centred around her queer identity and love for the sport. To call the approval process “rigorous” would be an understatement. The Canucks’ Pride jersey marks the first time that Mio’s art has found its way onto a real-life uniform. “It happened very quickly.

The Washington Capitals blew a 2-0 lead but came back to win it in overtime over the Vancouver Canucks behind a hat trick from Evgeny Kuznetsov and Eller.

The Caps outshot the Canucks 34-26 overall. Horvat scored again to give them the lead at 4:59. At 15:07 the Caps tied it up with Kuznetsov completing the hat trick. While they outshot them 10-9 in the third the Canucks came all the way back and nearly pulled off stealing two points. Nick Jensen played the puck and Kuznetsov deflected in a very weird bounce. The Caps jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to two goals from Kuznetsov for his 17th and 18th, respectively. The Washington Capitals put up a good lead on the Vancouver Canucks. Then they came back in the third period.
