With the Montreal Canadiens in town for a game at Rogers Arena on Thursday, let’s turn to two of their coaches, who both played on some pretty impressive Vancouver Canucks teams, for what they see in this Canucks team.Asked to make a comparison with the team he played on in 2011, Habs assistant coach Alex Burrows obviously agreed there are similarities. The Canucks are well-balanced at forward and Quinn Hughes is one of the best defencemen in the league, he said.“They’re well coached.
In net, only one team had a better team save percentage on the season than Vancouver: the Boston Bruins. Demko is one of the better goalies in the NHL right now, but he’s not quite at Luongo’s level. The Sedin/Burrows line played the most of any trio that season and took 57 per cent of the shot attempts while they were on the ice together. The most effective Canucks line of any measure this season has been Miller with Boeser and Pius Suter, who have taken about 64 per cent of the shot attempts while on the ice.
“Oh that’s tough,” Letowski replied with a grin when asked about how the 2003 squad compares with Vancouver’s 2024 edition.
