In this episode of Canucks Talk, the guys question whether Vancouver can find consistent scoring even when healthy, warning that the team could be in real trouble if things don’t improve. They call for retiring “resiliency” as a descriptor and highlight Quinn Hughes as the NHL’s best defender one capable of dragging the team to the playoffs on his own. Kevin Woodley joins to discuss Demko’s numbers, the lack of net-front offense, and why it’s still too early to draw big conclusions from just 14 games. Later, they touch on Forbort’s pending return, Willander’s rise, and Adam Foote’s unusually upbeat tone that doesn’t quite match what fans are seeing on the ice.
