VANCOUVER — Early in the NHL season, Rick Tocchet is still searching for one element from his Vancouver Canucks — consistency.
“You've just gotta stay focused on your task at hand. You can't have those lulls. I think sometimes we lose focus at a certain part of the game, and then the next line loses focus," Tocchet said. “If you're not playing well, you could lose three or four or five in a row if you're not careful," Tocchet cautioned.
"We’re eight games in … and I think we've played some pretty good hockey for the most part," said Hughes, who scored to cut Vancouver's deficit to 3-2 midway through the third period.Vancouver earned a reputation last season for clawing its way back in games, particularly in its first-round playoff series against the Predators.
"We’ve got some really special skill, too, and guys who can step up in big moments and make big plays. So I think that showed tonight.”
