From Kuz at The Province:

McWard keeps moving meter

In a pairing with Guillaume Brisebois, it was a different kind of challenge for McWard. He answered the call early with good communication, outlet passes on the tape, a physical presence on the defensive sideboards and good reads. He reversed the puck in his own zone to escape trouble and supported Brisebois when his partner was outmanned. Brisebois took two penalties, McWard took none and had the beaver tail going in wanting the puck for shot opportunities.

McWard got a good shot on net through a second-period maze and continued to make strong and accurate passes, but made a rare bad decision in the third period that led to a scoring chance.

“There are a lot of 5-on-5 drills in practice to see what he can do,” Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said of McWard. “And not just him. It’s other guys, too. We’re extending 5-on-5 plays to see players make decisions under pressure.

“Game management is huge to win. McWard has a high hockey I.Q.”

I took SEA for the win at 2.50 easy money!

VAN never disappoints.

I'm sorry to hear that. I was at my Grandma's Celebration of life myself this past weekend. Never easy to lose someone.

Condolences to you and yours.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

My brother in law died suddenly last week. He was a massive Flames fan. We used to make bets on all the games and playoff series back when both teams were decent. I was in Calgary for the celebration of life this weekend and I wore my Canucks jersey to it. I figured he would appreciate it.

Thanks NYN.
Keep it coming.

McWard seems like a nice find there.
Here's to hoping he sticks and makes the opening night roster

If he can hold a spot + play with QH that is a huge find!

Shouldn't bee too surprised I guess, same guy equates being open minded and tolerant as some sort of negative trait.

Carry on.

Chance to steal back Lind


I guess the team likes McWard.

Lind & Gadjovich were certainly underwhelming 2017 2nd round picks.

Olli Juolevi 5th OA (2016) is finally out of the NHL signing in Sweden.

Lots of teams have bad draft picks. It really is a crap shoot. The ones that hurt are OJ and Jake. If I remember correctly though half the fan base was saying draft Jake because of how soft the Canucks were. The one that really hurt was OJ. You could hear a pin drop at the arena when they stepped up to the mic and everyone was expecting Tkachuk.

Lets hope Willander and Likker kid turn out.

Woo & Rathbone don't look too promising right now either. Sure lots of teams have made "bad picks", with VAN there's way more misses than hit's. Then you have the picks that were dealt. So here we are.
