Teddy Blueger won’t play tonight, Tocchet confirms. Sounds like he’s an option for tomorrow.

Demko will start Saturday in Toronto, DeSmith gets the game Sunday in Montreal. #Canucks

“I see examples on the bench…Couple guys you don’t usually hear from are yelling 'Hey, you got to get that puck in deep.' Usually that comes from me or somebody else but now it’s coming from more branches of players.”

“It’s a mindset we have now that we're keeping each other accountable. High standards. I think that’s what brought us success at the start of the season.”

Bo Horvat, asked about upcoming return to Vancouver, said he's not sure how fans will react. He knows what he said going out the door might have been misinterpreted. Said his frustration was with management, never the fans. Loved his time in Vancouver. Very happy now w/ #Isles

between picking zadina over hughes, and trading hronek for draft picks, the detroit red wings have given the vancouver #canucks the best defense pairing in the NHL
