Tuesday, Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford aired his club’s dirty laundry. And in doing so, Vancouver acknowledges that change is needed, writes @thomasdrance.bsky.social. More on J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson and why it's time to move on: www.nytimes.com/athletic/609...

Six ways the short-handed #Canucks have held the fort on a crucial road trip: www.nytimes.com/athletic/596...

I’m not buying it as a fortunate victory. Ugly, sure, but a heck of a defensive performance. How Kevin Lankinen, #Canucks  locked down the Bruins in shutout win: 3 takeaways www.nytimes.com/athletic/595...

Over a 3-year period from 2009-10 through 2011-12 only Stamkos, Ovechkin, Bobby Ryan + Gaborik scored more 5-on-5 goals than Alex Burrows among all NHL players (minimum 3000 minutes). Just a reminder of how high a level a player has to hit to be “the next Alex Burrows”. #Canucks

Quality line nickname suggestion for the #Canucks’ new top line from @TheAthletic comment section. On the dominance of Vancouver’s new first line, and other thoughts: www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

Why the Vancouver #Canucks’ new first line is dominating right now, an interesting development on the back end and the “playing the right way” thing. New notebook @TheAthletic: www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

How #Canucks  overcame harsh Quinn Hughes ejection with complete performance (except 5-on-6 defending, I guess) to flatten Senators: 3 takeaways via @TheAthletic: t.co/QD6OKQcqsG

#Canucks and Senators have now traded goals from the net front on the power play. 36 minutes left to play and the score is tied. Will be a telling stretch. Certainly could be a slog for Vancouver without Hughes, the club’s primary engine.

Depends on the player. No set protocol is in place. Some guys will watch the game and get a workout in. Some guys will shower and change and eat popcorn. Some guys hit the table for a massage.

Here's why Hughes was tossed. Boarding major doesn't always come with a game misconduct.

After a wildly harsh match penalty assessed against Quinn Hughes, the #Canucks kill of the major penalty. Potentially a big moment in the game for Vancouver, but losing Hughes for the night - in addition to their other star absences - is a brutal break.

#Canucks have won just about every 50/50 battle in the early going against the Senators here. Excellent start to this 6-game road trip from Vancouver.
