Here’s what we learned as the Canucks rallied from a 2-0 deficit before Alex Edler scored at 3:11 of overtime for a 3-2 victory:
That Vancouver mantra got mangled in Las Vegas on Sunday — Travis Green labelled the lethargic effort the worst in the last two years — and the repetitive rallying cry could have got trampled on by Toronto on Wednesday.The Maple Leafs sport the NHL’s second-ranked offence, are first in even-strength scoring, have nine players with at least 30 points and own the seventh-ranked power play.
Adam Gaudette’s hustle along the wall in the offensive zone forced Patrick Marleau to draw a hooking minor in the second period. But instead of applying consistent pressure, the Canucks got caught up ice as Mitch Marner sped away with Ron Hainsey on a shorthanded break. With Troy Stecher the lone defender, Marner fed a cross-ice pass that Hainsey easily deposited ahead of a trailing Boeser and Markus Granlund.
The game could have got away early because the Leafs move pucks quickly and release them without hesitation. The first four Leaf shots were of the Grade-A variety. Marner showed off his release, then Markstrom got a glove on a hot Auston Matthews slot shot. He also had to sprawl to thwart Marner when he took a long pass off the end-boards and tried to go backhand. Then came getting a piece of a Kasperi Kapanen effort that was heavy and accurate.
