The Canucks have such a heavy defence," he noted. "It makes it so hard to play against them just with the size they have back there. Those guys are all very hard to get out of the corner and get to the inside against. It's a nightmare for forwards playing against guys that are big and tough and strong and have a long reach and defend the inside so well. And then with Thatcher Demko, they have elite goaltending too. They're getting good goaltending from Arturs Silovs right now. And they got forwards that can score. It's a team that's built for success, in my opinion. I'm not too surprised they've done so well."
