Top 3 Canucks in 08/09 Season

Even though the Vancouver Canucks have unreal team chemistry, there is always those few players that stand out and produce so consistantly. My top 3 canucks are as follows:

1. Ryan Kesler
2. Roberto Luongo
3. Alex (Rosie) Burrows

Ryan Kesler and Rosie may not be the leading point getters on the team, but when it comes to consistant play and clutch moments we call upon these guys. Rosie with his 3 short handed goals this season makes him one of the most clutch players on our team. Kesler has been consistant from game one this season. Unlike the Sedins who have droughts and spurts, Kesler makes up for the droughts of our top "go-to" guys. Thats how you win championships with grinders like these two.

Luongo? What more can i say. He's the reason that we've done so well pre his injury. While he was injured, the Canucks struggled terribly. He doesn't only make huge saves. He gives the whole team massive amounts of confidence. He allows the defence to push forward and join the rush to support our forwards. That alone gives us huge offensive advantage. Also you can't ignore his shutout streak beating out his old record from last season to make his sequence 2:42:36. Impressive and my hero.
