I think teams tend to focus on the things that don’t go well rather than the things that go well. You know, one of the things they’ve been weighing is the Canucks re-signing Dakota Joshua. It didn’t go well. Although, let’s be honest, there are some health issues out there that are absolutely 100% worth mentioning. But I think they were a little bit intimidated.
And then, of course, one of their best players all year long has been the other guy they re-signed in Connor Garland. He has shown that he has lost none of his edge or energy since the Canucks re-signed him.
But you know, Sherwood, he was great in a game that the Canucks needed on Sunday night.

But you know, he’s Vancouver, what did Quinn Hughes say at the beginning of the year? I guess, we have to get off to a good start, right? 5-5, not as good as you’d like. But I bet there were a lot of Canucks fans who went into the back-to-back thinking the game would be 4-6, and they knew Quinn Hughes wasn’t going to play. So, it’s a huge win.

Sherwood will be an interesting one as he is clearly the go-to guy for this team. Caduceus can look at it and say, “Well, we have one that doesn’t work, but we have one that does.” How much faith do you have in a guy like Sherwood? “
