Canucks Talk

Chris Higgins joins Jamie Dodd and Randip Janda to discuss why Ryan Johnson and the Sedin twins have earned respect throughout the organization, the importance of establishing a new standard in Vancouver, and why the Canucks need more “predator eyes” and competitive fire throughout the roster. Brendan Batchelor reacts to the messaging from the new regime, what comes next for the organization, and the major decisions still looming around coaching, trades, and the front office structure. Plus, Dimitri Filipovic breaks down the NHL Playoffs, Anaheim’s elimination, Buffalo’s inconsistency, Carolina’s dominant run, and the fallout from John Tortorella costing Vegas a second-round pick and a hefty fine.
