NHL Highlights | Panthers vs. Canucks - December 15, 2023

Dakota Joshua led the way on offence with a pair of goals and Thatcher Demko was perfect in net making 36 saves as the Vancouver Canucks won their fourth straight defeating the Florida Panthers 4-0.

[@MasterslayerG]

Demko was unreal. Joshua deserved those goals works so hard. Every single player making this team work.

[@kevinstull8552]

It's too bad Joshua didn't get a hat trick in this game.

[@MasterslayerG]

@@kevinstull8552 for sure. He works hard every game in my opinion.

[@trvman1]

This is not good if Vancouver keeps this up. They could go into the playoffs with a lot of expectations and then then pull which is now known as a "Bruins 2023" :)

[@15battery69]

Demko was an absolute brick wall tonight as he makes 36 saves & grabs the shutout in the Canucks 4-0 win... Kuzmenko is starting to find his scoring touch & now has goals in back to back games... Joshua chips in with 2 goals, doled out some big hits & continues to be a menace out on the ice!! GO CANUCKS GO!! 🏒🚨🔥

A shutout win for the Canucks on Luongo's Ring of Honor night. 4 game win streak for the Canucks. Nice to see Kuzmenko & Boeser score again in back-to-back games for the Canucks. Kuzmenko is starting to find his game for the Canucks & Kuzmenko will continue to develop his game with the Canucks. Boeser continues to have a remarkable season for the Canucks. Demko played another fabulous game for the Canucks.

[@savjakob7838]

Lol when demko made that save on barkov at the end of the first period the canuck fans were like LUUUUUUUUUUUU

[@joelface]

Haha, it made me laugh because it just felt right to give Demko some Luuus since he was doing such a great impression of Lu in his prime.

[@eric6650]

I love it! Kuzmenko feeling it, that’s the Kuzmenko that we’ve known to love, being aggressive, and hungry for the puck. He’s sure to get more playing time now, the more offence our team can generate, the less time they have to deal with playing defence. Controlling the offensive zone, not giving away the puck as often, none of that reaching with the stick kind of defence either, I like it when they rush the point guy thus making them rush the pass before they can set up.

[@iXShadow]

I love Luongo, and when Demko made those saves and everyone chanted Luu it took me back to the good old days 🥹 so glad I was there tonight!!

[@strawpaladin213]

The good old days are Today now... I've been a fan since 82. as a kid watching the black and gold... Stan Smyl, Thomas Gradin, Richard Brodeur ... Oh ya those were good times too. Same with the Bure/McLean/Linden days... and of Course the Sedin era... I'm trying to block out a few other years still.

[@iXShadow]

@@strawpaladin213i’m glad every 10 or so years we get our rush. After our Finals run I was really disappointed because I knew that was it for that era. But it’s exciting to have a contending team again, nothing will ever beat the Sedin era for me though with Lu, Kes, Burr, Bieksa, and many more

Another solid effort from top to bottom of the lineup... Very nice to see Boeser continuing his tear, and Kuzemenko finally getting a couple shots in. Joshua and Cole are providing some toughness, and Demko was just unreal! This team is looking more and more like it has the foundation to be competitive every night - add one or two more pieces and it may just be good enough to contend!

At the beginning of the year Rutherford said the canucks had a chance at the playoffs “if everything went right”. - Well everything went right, they elevated the organization to a point where now, it’s looking so well rounded- that even when a thing or two don’t go right, they still have a good chance to win. Now it’s looking like a lot is going to have to go wrong for them to miss the playoffs- it’s been an amazing alignment from top to bottom of the entire organization

[@DrFlippin]

[@edwardgofsky4862]

Canucks are 20-9-1!. Everything going the Canucks way this year and I’ll tell you that for free. Plan the parade down Robson and Davie street all the way down through Stanley Park. Canucks are cup contenders y’all. Hughes, Pettersson, JT Miller, Boeser, Hronek, Demko all in their prime and hungry to win. Eddy G in El Salvador on satellite 🛰️ wifi and back in Vancouver in April in time for the Canucks playoff run in 2024!. So much good content for Vancouver sports radio and podcasts like RinkWide with Jeff Patterson and Halford and Brough and especially the Canucks post game show with Sat and Bik on 650am radio in Vancouver and the feud between Thomas Drance and Rick Daliwal is the best. The 2023/24 Vancouver Canucks are the only team since the 1984/85 Edmonton Oilers to score this many goals in their first 16 games of the season. And first team to have a quartet of players (Pettersson, JT Miller, Hughes, Boeser) in NHL history to score 25 points each in their first 23 games of the season even surpassing the 1984/85 Edmonton Oilers. That year the Oilers went on to win the Stanley Cup. You can certainly see the similarities between both teams. Pettersson {Gretzky}, JT Miller {Messier}, Hughes {Coffey}, Hronek {Huddy}, Boeser {Kurri}, Demko {Fuhr/Moog}.
