Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

I mean, it just seems like two Goliaths going head-to-head in every single game.

It's up for grabs at any moment, no matter how big a lead a team has.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

Yeah, no, it really is.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

And I think it's fascinating because we look at, you know, to your point earlier about like how close these teams were in the standings and then you see what happens in the playoffs.

Canucks Central

And I think it's easy to look at it and say, well, anything can happen.

Canucks Central

But at the same time, like you still need to have like the right structure.

And one thing that, you know, Vegas does have is they have a deep defense.

Canucks Central

They have a deep center group.

And when they're healthy down the middle, that makes a big difference, of course.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

I mean, and I think George McPhee's always been one of those guys that, you know, kind of wears his heart on a sleeve.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

And, you know, the funny thing I always find about this stuff is like a lot of these people went through the Canucks organization as well.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

I mean, whether it's George McPhee and we saw, you know, some some figures in the past.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

It's always kind of funny to me to see these executives have had so much success and they were like, yeah, they played a small role in the Canucks organization in the 90s.

Canucks Central
Don Taylor on Stanley Cup Storylines + Shane Malloy Talks Draft Combine

Yeah, absolutely.
