Black Aces Podcast: Elite Hutton, neutral zone Virtanen, and a sizzling Juolevi take
It’s time for another episode of the Black Aces Podcast, featuring writers from across the Canucks’ media world, both mainstream and blogosphere. In this week’s episode, the Black Aces delves into whether this is a turning point of the Canucks season: is this the moment when the preseason projections of a non-playoff team come to fruition or is this just a bump in the road? They also talk about just how good Ben Hutton has been, Jake Virtanen’s excellent work in the neutral zone, and some detailed discussion on prospects on the Utica Comets.

Canucks prospect Jack Rathbone is making a statement in his freshman season at Harvard
The Canucks’ hopes on defence are resting heavily on the shoulders of Quinn Hughes, their seventh overall pick from the 2018 draft, and for good reason. Hughes is a dynamo on defence, a one-man breakout machine at even-strength and potentially the puck-moving power play quarterback for which the Canucks have pined for years. While the Canucks desperately need Hughes to be as good as prospect experts have projected, however, he’s not the only promising defenceman in the system.

I Watched This Game: Tom Kuhnhackl, weird goals carry the Islanders over the Canucks
Sometimes hockey is just plain odd. The New York Islanders were undoubtedly the better team in this game, out-shooting and out-chancing the Canucks by a wide margin. At the same time, they wouldn’t have won without a trio of goals funkier than George Clinton, Sir DZL, and Brass Monkey.

Markus Granlund’s 19-goal season is the worst thing that could have happened to him
2016-17 was a breakout season for Markus Granlund. In his first full year with the Vancouver Canucks, he set a career high with 19 goals in just 69 games. You could come up with a number of explanations for him breaking out. It could have been the change of scenery and the fresh start with a new team. He went from playing predominantly at centre with the Flames’ organization to the wing with the Canucks. Perhaps, at 23, things just clicked mentally and physically for him as he hit what should be the start of his peak.

I Watched This Game: Nikolay Goldobin bumps slump, but Rangers dump Canucks
What is the opposite of a barn burner? The phrase “barn burner” has been used in reference to exciting sporting events for nearly a century, though it’s not entirely clear why. Perhaps it’s because a barn burning is a spectacle that draws attention, but for that we have “train wreck,” with its more negative connotations.
