The Canucks do need to improve their team defense, there should be no arguments against that. They need to hope that one of their prospects makes a jump to being a solid second pairing defenseman. The problem though is how difficult it is to find those players. Markstrom and Demko played above their heads in the playoffs and that can't be relied upon for a years time.
Still, as a Canucks fan, I must say that I am happy about the result, not only because they played well, but also because for the past month they have been a distraction from real life and the pandemic and any conclusion to this year has been an unexpected pleasant surprise.
