And it was a night where a lot of the future was on display. Ziv Bouyam, he was named the most exciting player for the team this year, as voted for by fans. And he put together one of his best shifts of the season as a Canuck when he scored a goal. Jake DeBruyne scores two, including the overtime winner as well. So a fun night here at Rogers Arena. Randy.

146.219 - 163.635 Unknown

Yeah, it was, you know, we walked into this game with good vibes, obviously, after that road trip, and you hope that you want to see the same, right? You want to see that energy, that battle level that they had on the California trip for the final home game of the season, and that's exactly what we saw. This was an engaged team.

0

164.096 - 184.74 Unknown

There were, what, in the end, four lead changes in this game, and at 2-1, it looked like they were in control, and then what happens? LA hits them with a couple of haymakers there, and all of a sudden, we're talking about an LA lead, but For me, guys, it came down to just this team bringing energy, commitment. Certainly, I thought their forecheck was so strong in the first period.

0

Chapter 3: What did Head Coach Adam Foote say about the team's performance?

184.76 - 202.769 Unknown

They played with energy. And just the individual talents. You mentioned Steve Boehm. I'm sure we're going to talk about him, and you guys are going to talk about him as well. But that goal that he scored, there was an identification of your center does not have a stick, and I'm going to attack the middle of the ice. I'm going to go for it. And he got hit four times. Four times in this game.

0

202.789 - 221.158 Unknown

He got his bell rung a couple of times. Three times in the second period on one shift. Another time. And I just love the bounce back ability by not only Ziv Buim, but the entire team. That shift in particular for Ziv I thought was kind of instructive of the whole night where he just looked like he was trying to explore the whole ice.

0

221.638 - 245.552 Unknown

Just go figure out every crevice of Rogers Arena and go check out every part of it because with the puck, without it, he just was moving the entire time. I feel like tonight was probably the best night we've seen of the flashes of the upside. He's got movement ability. He's got all these... traits, obviously, but tonight felt like the best package we've seen of it all in totality.

0

245.833 - 263.419 Unknown

Yeah, and there was also the shooting was one thing, the attacking the middle of the ice was the other thing, but Beck also, you know, just his, you know, there was a real aggression from just his shooting, but also his playmaking down low, which is something we talked about a couple of games ago where, hey, can you see some of that playmaking? I thought he

0

263.399 - 272.152 Unknown

There was a couple of moments where he was looking for his teammates in addition to trying to get the shots off. So with Zeve, you're right. It felt like there was a real killer instinct there.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of a three-game winning streak for the Canucks?

272.172 - 286.012 Unknown

It wasn't just handling the puck. It was, I'm going to attack, and we saw it work out. Yeah, it really did, right? So it's nice to see that he's exciting. And the last few games, Bick was making the point, you know, we're starting to see him really take charge and test himself.

0

286.032 - 300.35 Unknown

The confidence has always been there, but it just seems like now... And maybe that's one of the things that happens, guys, when... You're a rookie in the NHL, but also you come to a new team, and there's a lot been made about the younger players growing into the culture of the team, having bigger voices.

0

300.71 - 317.589 Unknown

They brought a lot of exuberance to the group, and I know both Kevin Dean today and behind the bench and Adam Foote when meeting with the media says the culture has needed to get better, and it is showing a lot of signs of it. Could it also be a fact of him feeling very comfortable here now and kind of growing into his own? That's what we want to see for these young guys.

0

317.609 - 334.987 Unknown

We talk about environment for young players. I think a big part of it is... Can you allow them to be the best versions of themselves, but also have the freedom to express and be who they want to be and who they need to be to be successful in the NHL? And it does take time, right? Remember, like, first time in his career he's been traded. This is a guy that walks into a room.

0

335.007 - 346.419 Unknown

He's got to figure out how, you know, where he fits. Obviously, he's somebody that they have a lot of confidence in. But, you know, it doesn't happen immediately, especially for a young player in this league. And he's figured it out.

346.459 - 356.65 Unknown

And I thought today, guys, even with that, you know, with that Philip Peronic fight, which was great to see standing up for his teammate, Zeve got 25 minutes of ice time. Yeah. Which is, you know, he led the Vancouver Canucks in that regard, if I'm not mistaken.

Chapter 5: How is Zeev Buium contributing to the team's future?

356.69 - 379.997 Unknown

Yeah, he did. The next closest was Philip Peronic with 23.46. That's a step, right? We just talk about that heavy lifting. He controlled, basically, possession time in this game. Last time I checked, he was well above two minutes in that regard. And I think... the more games you can get like this where he's getting more reps, more comfortable, the ceiling's there. We see it, right?

0

380.037 - 397.258 Unknown

It's just a matter of that consistency because the good versus the great are the great ones do it over and over and over again, but this is such a young player that it actually makes you think, all right, how's he going to look in a year or two? Exactly, and that's why he gets the hard hat player of the game brought to you by Realtek Construction. Building together, solving problems.

0

397.559 - 412.941 Unknown

Visit Realtek.com. And, you know, that's the thing about Zeve. You mentioned he had the goal. He had the 25 points as well, Bick. And I know you have something to add on Zeve. Or did you want to go on to something different? No, go ahead. No, we've got plenty of time this evening to talk about this.

0

413.041 - 419.331 Unknown

And maybe when it comes to the awards, I know Bick may have a take on that coming up in a bit as well. But, you know, Jake DeBrusque.

0

Chapter 6: What leadership changes are impacting the Canucks' culture?

419.792 - 440.347 Unknown

What are you stewing about, Bick? There's clearly something that was discussed here. You can save it for later. I just didn't agree with yours. The most exciting player felt like the one you want to be excited for rather than what they've actually done this season that was exciting. Was this exciting player? And listen, the fan's always right. Was this exciting player a projection pick? Yes.

0

440.507 - 464.402 Unknown

Yes, it's that. Right? And who isn't excited for him? Yeah. Buying it to the future. But he's got 11 points coming into tonight. Maybe he heard that and said, I've got to elevate my game tonight. It's half a season of work. I don't know. I just thought you need more body of work here. Marco Rossi has more points in this recent stretch than Zeke does the whole season. Okay, we discussed this.

0

464.543 - 469.71 Unknown

That's exciting. I love the smile that Sat has on his face right now.

0

Chapter 7: What role does fun play in the team's current success?

470.331 - 478.184 Unknown

If we had cameras in this room, there's just a smile and a nod from Sat. I'm more aggrieved by the Unsung Hero Award. It's Linus Carlson's award.

0

479.186 - 481.41 Adam Foote

He was robbed of an award.

0

481.43 - 501.424 Unknown

I feel like you guys are part of this problem because you guys kept on saying he's sung. He's sung. And now he was so sung. Honestly, it's a good point. All year we've been singing his praises. We have been singing his praises. You've been calling him Rebuild Bray. How is that not singing his praises? I don't disagree. I don't disagree. I don't disagree.

0

501.565 - 519.769 Unknown

You were talking about the most exciting player. That's like a leap and bound above unsung hero. I guess Carlson was robbed. Honestly, I am surprised that Carlson didn't come away with hardware because he has been truly, in terms of original Canucks story, and I don't mean guys that came in from trades. I mean original Canucks from start of the season.

0

520.029 - 529.064 Unknown

He's probably their best internal story this year. For me, if I had, I obviously don't, the fans do, but unsung for me is Linus Carlsen with a bullet.

Chapter 8: What are the Canucks' goals for the upcoming offseason?

529.284 - 548.604 Unknown

I think his story, we've talked about this over the last little while, from where he started, guys, at the end of last season to where he is at now, it is an unbelievable story. And it's not one that is... Like, nobody's going on Grouse Mountain singing this one, right? Like, it hasn't been sung that much either. But, hey, listen, it's a fan award.

0

549.185 - 569.139 Unknown

It's great to see Drew O'Connor get some love, too, because, you know, he has been a good player for this team. But take your pick. But Linus Carlsen, 35 points in this league, in a league that we didn't know if he would be able to stick at the beginning of the year. Remember, last year, we were talking about if he continues to do these things... He might be a full-time player.

0

569.179 - 584.141 Unknown

He elevated himself compared to his peers at the Abbotsford level. And sure, if he gets hardware or not, guy picked up 35 points. You've referenced it as well. There's teams interested in him. The Vancouver Canucks wanted to keep him. That, to me, is a sign of the respect he's getting in the NHL.

0

584.942 - 600.689 Unknown

If there was ever a guy who was just gone about his business, chopped wood, brick by brick, whatever analogy you want to use of the slow and steady grind... of doing things the right way. It's all the boring parts of the game that we've got to point out to people like, hey, you've got to watch this guy.

0

600.889 - 616.724 Unknown

This is going on two years of, hey, the stick work along the boards, the angles he takes, the battle, the willingness to get in front of the net, all of that. It's all that. Even on DPD's goal, right, there's a little flash screen there, right? There's a layer. I think Drew O'Connor is near the front of the net, and Carlson's the first layer.

617.225 - 620.608 Unknown

But think of all the guys that they tried graduating through this year, right?

620.748 - 620.848

Yeah.

622.28 - 644.465 Unknown

Mancini, Baines, Ratu, Nils Oman, Leckermackie, Carlson. I'm missing Max Sassone, right? Yeah. Sassone and Carlson are the only two guys that made it through. And Sassone's been in and out of the lineup throughout the course of the season. Linus Carlson sitting here with 78 games played. I thought this was going to be obvious. He should be the unsung hero. Yeah. No, I don't disagree.

644.506 - 662.732 Unknown

I know a lot of love for him on the text inbox. Called out, unsung, love it. That's JR in Vancity. And absolutely, Carlson killed it. Another unsigned text. Some love coming in for Linus Carlson. He got a new contract. He still wins at life, guys. Yeah, he's in a good spot. He's in a good spot. Drew O'Connor got one last year. People should have seen it already.
