What a game the Vancouver KS have done it folks they have ended off the pre Christmas NHL stint as the number one team in the entire league they’re number one no tie no whatever sure via points percentage they’re not number one but in fact it gets even nuttier because for
Points percentage the Canucks are second Vancouver now has 49 points in 35 games played this season their number one in the league with a two-point lead over New York and Vegas Vegas lost today in regulation against the Florida Panthers the Rangers won today so they have the
Tie with Vegas but Vancouver with their 49 points is indeed a unanimous number one in the NHL in points percentage though though it’s all good because Vancouver is number two the Boston Bruins played today regulation loss against the Minnesota Wild the Kings they beat the Calgary Flames in
Regulation so they got some points but still they have so many fewer games played than Vancouver that the point discrepancy doesn’t really mean much at this point but Vancouver is number one in points and number two in points percentage ending off this stint before the holidays with a bang it’s a 7 to4
Win over the San Jose Sharks and I’m going to be honest this game was way crazier than it needed to be San Jose just has this weird ability to find offense and create something out of nothing consistently scoring all these weird and wacky goals that go off of
Guys unintentionally that bounce out in front where Demco gets hung out to dry the Vancouver Canucks succumbed four goals in this game and AD admittedly they don’t do that often but when they do it usually comes against the San Jose Sharks of all teams they score seven
Though which is good for them and the story of tonight was definitely highlighted by the guy who got on the board the first two times Andre kzo making his return to the Vancouver Canucks lineup Phil deppi was not playing today but you did have a selection of other forwards rotating
Around there of course kenko was in the mix Neils Oman played today but of of course what we care about the most is the goals on the board and it’s Andre kusenko who gets things started 1 minute and 34 seconds into the entire contest it’s a play where the Canucks are
Breaking it into the Shark Zone Pon goes across into the middle it hits off of mckv dropped right in front for kzco to pick up the puck he drags it around the D he shoots he scores the building goes wild Andre kzo with his seventh goal on the year year after everybody was
Calling him out for not scoring many goals in the limited sample he did play after all those games in the Press Box three straight scratches the Canucks saying they were disappointed in the way he trained the off season he comes back into the lineup on the first line with
Py and mckv and scores an opening goal what a story the Canucks then find themselves on the power play five minutes later and after Alias Pon throws the puck over to JT Miller Miller comes in with a low shot it’s flat along the ice but it’s
Tipped in up and over by Andre KZ menko what a goal scored there by Koozie two goals in the span of about 5 minutes or so for Andre kzco to get things started here in Vancouver before the holiday break that is the break he needed in order to get his confidence back he
Started to see him shooting the puck a little bit more this is what you get when you drop Andre Kenco in fantasy he starts Popp off yeah I immediately picked him back up because I’m sorry Joel far as much as I like you in your
Game I got to go with my guys Andre kzco had a great performance in the first seven minutes or so of this game and then just kind of disappeared for the rest of it because he got two goals he doesn’t need to be amazing after that conu though end up giving up two
Straight goals to San Jose after this in the first period first one is a shot by Anthony duclair on the rush it gets tipped in by male grenland and the funny part is it doesn’t look like he’s trying to tip it he’s just skating forward and
For some reason it goes off of his stick and over into the net give it 3 minutes after that and the Canucks kind of fumble the puck in their own Zone a little bit they’re trying to clear it Tyler Myers isn’t able to get it out it’s a giveaway right in the corner
Boards eventually the sharks have it and it’s cycled back to the point Ferraro takes a shot the rebound is down there and it’s put in through the legs by Tomas hurdle so hurdle gets the tying goal with 4 minutes left to go in the first period 22 the score here and the
Shots on goal in the first were pretty bad admittedly 55 like both of these teams had two goals and five shots in the first period which is not great from a goal tending perspective but as the game went on you started to see that pattern subsist
Itself a little bit more Neils Alan had a really beautiful goal in the second period at the end of a Canucks penalty kill it’s Teddy Bluer who gets things started by knocking a centering pass down at Center Ice he comes in two onone with Neil Alan and Teddy Bluer does a
Brilliant toll drag to the backand before sending a ripping cross crease pass right over to Alan who buries it right by it’s not a short-handed goal you could say in spirit it was but the penalty actually came to an end right before the puck went in so it’s
Technically an even strengths goal but the canox killed it off they got the goal right after so Neils Alman with his second on the year assisted by Bluer that is a career high point streak for Teddy I believe they said it was seven games long no six games long something
Like that and just a little bit later the cans end up getting yet another one Conor Garland plays it back over to Ian Cole who takes a long drive from the point it’s tipped on goal by Justin Bailey of all people but n Bailey touched it once and then it was actually
Sam lafy who touched it too so lafy gets the 42 goal 8 minutes into the second period this is when the Sharks start to fight back a little bit though as you have Mario Ferraro of all people he had three assists in this game for crying
Out loud what a great showcase for him he has a really beautiful play as he’s going down low into the canu Zone spinning around and throwing it out in front for Fabian zerin to get that snapshot zland makes it 4 three he brings the Sharks within one with about
9 minutes to go in the second period so Canucks fans were kind of panicking a little bit hey the sharks are getting a lot of offense against us that’s not ideal but at the end of the period you had yourselves a brilliant Rush by this third line once again as Teddy Bluer is
The guy who starts things out picking the puck up in the neutral zone after crossing the blue line he centers it back over for Garland who slows comes right in on goal before ripping across crease past to Dakota Joshua who buries his ninth on the year bler Garland and
Joshua have got to be one of the best lines in hockey right now even though they’re the third line even though they’re not the most important line this team has so much depth and I mean looking at what they were able to do tonight it was fantastic now in the
Third period you had a goal scored by Jacob McDonald yeah I mean he’s got six goals on the Year by the way as a defenseman like what in the world the PAC actually gets centered out and the Canucks lose their checks McDonald is right there in front and he’s able to
Put it up high over a sprawled out thatr Demco that makes it 54 so the Canucks are only leading by one but then 2 minutes after that the Canucks score a goal it’s JT Mill who wins the face off back to quinnn Hughes he takes a long
Drive and it’s tipped down and in by Pia suar making it six to4 Vancouver so there you go finally Quinn Hughes getting on the board he has been held pointless for way too long in the past little while here he gets an assist and ends up putting the Canucks up 6’4 and
Then Quinn Hughes on the empty net has probably the most beautiful empty net goal I’ve seen in a while where he gets the puck in the neutral zone and shoots it up over every body and the puck plops right into the net it’s almost like a
Basketball it had to go over a whole bunch of heads on its way to the goal there you go quen Hughes gets his 68th multi-point game of his career which is what is it now number one or tied for number one amongst all Vancouver Canucks defensemen like what a crazy statline
For Quinn Hughes the guy goes out there with yet another goal and assist after an entire game where he wasn’t really producing all too much JT Miller gets multiple points in in this one as does alias Pon so a lot of these top scores on Vancouver are getting back involved
In the play and then of course the third line still going out there doing their thing Thatcher Demco made 21 saves on 25 shots a gain so not ideal but he still went out there and got the win Brock besser got nothing tonight unfortunately but Andre Kenco getting the two goals to
Start everything off that’s got to be the biggest story in today’s game especially heading into the break right if he’s able to get that confidence back and start scoring more goals then it’s going to be a good pickup for me to get him back onto my team after I dropped
Him earlier this week yeah I still won my match up this week which is all great but Andre kzco becoming good again will just solidify this Vancouver conu team as a potential Contender we’ll say that number one in the NHL in points number two in points percentage limit your
Thoughts in the comment section below about the team winning against the San Jose Sharks 7 to4 I hope you enjoyed this v r 99 and by by

2nd in the league in points percentage – Thomas Drance
Despite his two goals, wasn't Kuzmenko still a minus on the stat sheet for the night? He might not be out of Tocchet's doghouse quite yet.
On Santa's Naughty List – Thomas Drance
Tied for second* in p% with LA
Canucks have the best third and fourth lines in NHL.
Uh, no, they’re tied with the rangers, who have 2games in hand, therefore are ranked second, not first.
Reminds me a lot of 2010-2011
Vancouver Canucks have a good start they were all getting ready during the playoff time last year
Can we pause and admire that Thumbnail.😂 One order of Shark Roll.😆
I can not believe Zadorov and Tyler Myers are a defensive pairing. They were drafted together in the first round, same year, in Buffalo……
I remember thinking Buffalo was gonna have a crazy good defense haha
Vegas always having goalie issues… if not that then the lines stall suddenly. Ugh.
