Willie Desjardins said the Canucks have to work hard and get the most out of the remaining games. It was clear from the outset, the Vancouver Canucks' youth brigade was fired up. That's precisely the kind of excitement that will keep fans interested through the balance of the schedule.
San Jose hemmed the Canucks in their zone for most of the first couple minutes. The Canucks' first two shots came from a distance and were handled easily by Martin Jones.
The kid third line of Brendan Gaunce - Bo Horvat - Linden Vey had great pressure five minutes in, hemming the Sharks fourth line in their own zone.
