It somehow keeps getting better...

I am at a loss of words right now for how good things are going for the Vancouver Canucks as we not only get multiple updates surrounding this team heading into their next game with a player returning from injury, line shakeups, and exactly why the Vancouver Canucks are playing the funnest hockey that we have seen in years, but one player in particular not only shows confidence in Ryan Johnson and his plan with his team, but completely unlocks the vancouver canucks and shows a bright future as paul cotter continues to impress the entire nhl we're going to break down everything you need to know including multiple updates and so much more surrounding the vancouver canucks but before we get into it we're so close to our goal of 10,000 subscribers so if you're proud of almost 59 watching this right now yes you right there go down hit that free subscribe button i'll keep you up to date with everything to do around vancouver Canucks hockey as it's finally fun once again and let's just dive straight into it today where the Vancouver Canucks Paul Cotter had a quote just from a few days ago for a team that everyone in the world said it's going to be last in the league we're doing a lot of good things and Paul Cotter alone has been doing incredible things which awarded him the third star the first star on the Vancouver Canucks to remember as Paul Cotter was named the NHL's third star of the week across the entire NHL showing that Ryan Johnson and the Sedins not only have an incredible plan when it comes to picking up players but showing the vibes and the future of this team now looking at Paul Cotter four goals six points which is first and third in the entire NHL this is just scratching the surface of the success that the Vancouver Canucks have had with adding free agents we've seen Luke Shen and the way Jamie Oletziak has completely changed the mindset of this young defensive core to Brendan Gallagher despite some slow play adding value to the locker room but adding value on the ice is exactly what Paul Cotter has been doing with four goals a plus four now of course the shooting percentage seven shots on goal four goals probably not sustainable but it shows that the Canucks are building a new offensive system led by Manny Malhotra that has truly started to unlock quite a few players. We've seen it from Pedersen, Jonathan, Laker, Mackey looks incredible. Even working your way to Paul Cotter, our now second liner. This is a team that is unlocking new heights for young players, veteran players, returning and new players, showing that this could legitimately be a asset the Vancouver Canucks could flip in the future of course you want to keep guys like this and keep for sure what fetched you two seconds but Paul Cotter's contract at 2.1 million dollars the fact that the New Jersey Devils are a team that's looking for depth scoring and let this guy walk for nothing DJ Paul Cotter has been absolutely incredible for this young team but of course looking at this progression and regression this is going to be a player that I love seeing within in this team and a big reason why the Canucks are sitting first in the NHL when it comes to total goals scored of course shout out the Edmonton Oilers for having the worst goaltending tandem in the entire NHL one and one but at the end of the day versus them we'll take that because their fans are panicking and we're having a hell of a time over here in Vancouver but fans I want to know your thoughts not only on the Canucks this season two and two but what is your thoughts on the agent pickups the vibes around this team is paul cotter going to be a trade value piece going into the deadline where the canucks can add even more draft couple unless ryan johnson and co we didn't even talk about adding all the incredible pieces adam nabotny all the way to caleb mahaldrip the future looks incredible and paul cotter is going to help us get assets or at least make things fun but i didn't want to dive into updates surrounding this team heading into the canucks game versus the Carolina Hurricanes Jake DeBrusque returned from the flu and is back on the ice for practice now Ben Kuzma gave this update and we immediately see Thomas Drance come through with the Vancouver Canucks pairs at their Wednesday practice now looking at this Jake DeBrusque going on to the top line which I've seen some backlash on because of course that hasn't really worked in the past I mean we've seen Jake DeBrusque competing Jake DeBrusque had one of his lowest shooting percentage seasons ever as one of the lowest by any player but I do like the lineup and it truly shows the Canucks have a deep team Jake DeBrusque, Pedersen and Jonathan Lekomacki I love the goalscoring next to Pedersen which is an elite playmaker Paul Cotter, Marco Rossi and Besser you broke up the bro line but Liam Mulgren, Sasson and Carlson has a lot of snare to that line Archie Baines, doc and gallagher and once again cue the music put the sirens on because apparently atiratu is once again in jail for whatever reason and the biggest thing is yes he came into a game and had a good performance but it seems like manny mahalter is trying as many options as possible including doc at center and jonathan leckermack who will continue to get his time face off percentage 61.5 we know an incredible player during his one game one goal one assist plus one shooting percentage at 63 one of the best in the NHL when it comes to face-offs once again I'd love for Atirachi to get into the lineup but again I'm starting to truly understand what it's like to believe in and trust a head coach once again because of course in the past we did not have it and especially moving forward we're finally getting to see what it feels like i mean flyers fans are losing it about rick tockett at the moment but i want to know your guys thoughts on not only the lines because there are some things i want to break down including luke shen coming out for victor mancini but what is your thoughts on this current team and makeup i mean looking at this this is a lot better than i expected and that's not hating on guys i mean paul cutter said everyone thought they were going to finish the last but what is your thoughts on this team because of course there's still more updates with luke shen coming out so victor mancini can debut for the canucks to start the season over the stretch of luke shen being here the second time here to assist a plus four twelve and a half minutes played nine hits which is top percent in the nhl top ten percent story two block shots two shots and 21 pims we know luke shen is a protector but i like getting victor mancini in and the power play units getting a new look as well with jake de bros stepping in on the top unit with peterson brock besser philip peronic and marco rossi looking at the second unit with of course jake de bros coming back working on the five on four we've seen tom villander jonathan leckermackie liam olgren zeve boyum and linus carlson linus carlson sorry with this group but fans i want to know your thoughts of course there's so many storylines around this team from Pettersson's resurgence within this group the NHL genuinely be in shock about the way the Canucks are playing but I want to know your thoughts on this overall team is Paul Cotter one of the best free agent pickups we've had in recent history is this a keeper Sherwood 2.0 where we get a guy at a low point of his career get him within this group and flip him for assets accelerating this timeline we got the two seconds for the course keep for sure there's a chance we get that with Paul Cotter and I would not even be upset keeping Paul Cotter as once again the third best player in the NHL it's not me saying it's the NHL don't shoot me let me know your thoughts in the comments on everything to do around this team of course I'm fired up about this season and listen on the bright side if we get a top three pick even better if we have a confident season and go out there and watch winning hockey and fun hockey of course we still want a top pick there's no losing in vancouver right now let me know your thoughts down in the comments and i cannot wait to beat the carolina hurricanes because they're frauds and who cares if they want to stand wake up let me know your thoughts if you think i'm delusional down in the comments i've been your host mark five getting over a terrible flu that has been a canucks fans take care and go canucks go
