I think there is something to be said for the Canucks getting more out of their players right now than one would expect, Kessler, Bieksa Burrows and Edler are all playing over what one would have thought they would manage a few years ago. I doubt it is just luck.

Or those players are just winners....say all you want about the diving, the hair pulling, the biting, the cheating....they do it cause they want to win...that was very evident from the first time any of those guys put on that jersey, they were hated by rival fans pretty much instantly.
