Litmus test against high-octane Maple Leafs on Wednesday is perfect tonic to test the collective resolve.
It’s what you expect in a room where realism was trumped by optimism. Nobody wanted to talk about another early off-season. Nobody wanted to go there. Put it this way:
The Canucks’ longest win streak this season is three games, and one of their worst efforts of the year came Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas where they were blanked 3-0 and outshot 48-19. “For me, it’s going out and playing my game to help contribute any way I can, whether it’s points or playing well defensively.”
And when the Canucks are mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, just where the power play went to die will be written on their tombstone. Josh Leivo wants to beat his former club. Boeser knows he can play better. And if we’re nearing audition season, then Horvat has already won critical acclaim as the obvious choice as the next captain.
“You see how little mistakes are made. Vegas made no mistakes and were hungry for pucks. It’s something we can learn from and improve on.”
