Forward’s mix of skill and snarl makes him an emerging asset for an emerging team
The coach saw it when he took over the team last January, and he set to work getting the most out of the big winger.
The hockey world got another glimpse of his talent Sunday as Joshua powered the Canucks to a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.“I couldn’t be happier for him. He’s such a big part of this hockey team and I don’t even know if he knows how good he is, man,” J.T. Miller said after Sunday’s game. “He’s so good at a lot of things and I’m just really happy for him to get rewarded tonight. He played great.
Joshua bounced between the Blues and their American Hockey League affiliates before signing with Vancouver as a free agent in July 2022 and earning a spot on the Canucks roster out of training camp. He’s set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. “He took the criticism and he was awesome,” Tocchet said. “He knew whatever the problem we had and he owned it. And look where he is now. He’s done a hell of a job for us.”
Sunday marked Joshua’s second NHL playoff game — he played his first with the Blues in 2022 — and he made an impact with both his physicality and offensive touch.
