Vancouver Canucks: H. Sedin, Hansen, Markstrom Shine at World Cup

The World Cup of Hockey officially kicked off on Saturday and the players representing the Vancouver Canucks look to be in regular season form.

Team Europe came in to the tournament as massive underdogs with most pundits expecting them to finish in last place in the tournament. However, Europe came out and shocked the Americans with a 3-0 shutout victory. Canucks forward Jannik Hansen factored into the final goal for Europe after his shot from the left point was deflected by Philadelphia Flyers forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare past USA goaltender Jonathan Quick to solidify the victory.
