Vancouver reeks of "happy to be here" syndrome, where they're happy to be in the second round after missing the playoffs the last few years. Some of the lineup seems to be missing that killer instinct, including Hughes, Petterson, and Hronek. Lindholm, Zadorov, Garland, and Miller have done the yeoman's work for the team. Meanwhile Hughes is being outplayed by Bouchard, and Petterson hasn't provided much. The only Canuck in the top 25 in playoff scoring is Miller. If anything they're lucky to have gone this far.
They are being held up by a third string goaltender, and a player they were attempting to trade at the deadline (Lindholm).
