Nice narrative from sportsnet that the two early fights set the tone

Canucks having more speed on the backend had nothing to do with anything tonight i guess :L

What was really intriguing tonight is how quick and mobile Vancouver’s defence looked. We all know who is gone from last year, what we don’t know is what kind of difference it’s going to make.


On night one, it was something else. Where the hell was that big Calgary forecheck everyone was looking over their shoulders for in April?


Hmmm.


“You see (Hutton) skate it out of trouble, skate it out of his own end?” an amped up Jannik said. “We weren’t getting hemmed in. It’s so huge for us forwards, when the D can do that.


“You saw how the pressure relieved when (Hutton) and Bart and Tan Man and Edler skated the puck out of trouble. It took a lot of pressure off their forecheck.”





no love for the Spizzza boy (or porkshack), Mmmbop? lol
