Interesting tidbit from coach Toc re Suter today.

“I want to share a story,” Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said Tuesday during a day off for the team. “Pius, obviously, he's played really well for us. But at the start of the year, he was kind of hurt and I didn't play him in the first game. He probably could have played. He came in the next day and he wanted to talk. And he's not really a guy that comes to your office a lot. He's not a complainer, not one of those guys. He comes in and says. . . ‘I just want to know: Where do I stand? What do I have to do to improve?’ And we had a really good talk.

“I said, ‘Pius, I really think you've got a ton of potential. For me, your fitness level, if you raise that... just really take over at practice and be a better practice player.’ He looked at me, like: ‘Yeah, OK, thank you.’ He wasn't complaining, just asking. I don't know, man, I just have a lot of respect for that guy because he's been one of our best practice players this year. We land on a road trip somewhere at 7 o’clock (in the evening), a lot of guys probably go for dinner. He's in the hotel gym. Sometimes, I'll go to the gym at 11 o'clock at night, 12 o'clock, and he'll be in there. I just really respect that he took the information and he applied it, and he's having a really good year for us. I guess those are the guys that I root for.”

Well shoot, glad another team will get to enjoy the benefits of his newfound training habits next year. Doesn't seem like he'll be back if they haven't signed him by now.

To be fair, this year has been a pretty unmitigated disaster. If them being a bubble team (Benning's wet dream) is considered a terrible year... there should be a little rebound next year. At least something a bit better to build on.

“It’s been my longest year and one of adversity and pretty much with everybody on the team, nobody has played a full season,” Hughes told BarDown post-game Monday. “Really proud of our group. We have a lot of care and will do everything we can to try to make the playoffs.

“I believe we can, but if that doesn’t happen, I like what we’re building here.”

The quote ended with him saying...what we are building here ..."the next couple years "

True, but some of it outside of injuries, has been avoidable, starting with the Miller/Pouty debacle.

Oh ya. And mismanagement. But, seems like this might be their floor at the moment.

Takes along time, the Sabres and Canucks are cursed.

For whatever reason, looked at the lines and I don’t mind’em. Lots of jam throughout, some guys that can put puck in net.

Demko back-to-back coming off injury worries me a bit. Lankinen hurt or just tired from carrying team to within striking distance of playoff spot?

Barn burner going on

It been uphill all year & can only make them better. PA is going to need a big offseason to plug holes.

Asking a perimeter winger why?

Missed the game, but that is a big win, should keep the team in the 15th overall spot, for the draft

Also, how about that Tyler Myers kid, +4, with over 23 minutes. Pretty impressive for all the haters on here.
