After the Vancouver Canucks sleepwalked through a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday afternoon at Rogers Arena, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet stated that he 91裸聊视频榥eeded more push91裸聊视频� from certain players.

One of the players he didn91裸聊视频檛 need more push from was forward Dakota Joshua.

Joshua scored twice in helping the Canucks avoid blowing a 2-0 lead at home.

91裸聊视频淭ake the win. Go from there. I91裸聊视频檓 glad they said that because we all feel the same,91裸聊视频� answered Tocchet when told that some players were not happy with the team91裸聊视频檚 performance.

Vancouver led 2-0 after two periods on goals by Brock Boeser in the first and Joshua in the second only to see the Ducks tie it up on goals by Olen Zellweger and Mason MacTavish in the third.

Then Joshua scored his second of the game at 17:47 to give the Canucks the win.

Disaster avoided.

91裸聊视频淚t wasn91裸聊视频檛 a great performance by our group but I guess you can91裸聊视频檛 be upset after a win,91裸聊视频� Joshua said afterwards, echoing most of the post-game comments made by other players.

What made Joshua91裸聊视频檚 performance even more impressive is that it was only his second game back after missing 18 games due to a hand injury.

His first goal will be on most highlight packages for a while as he received a pass at the corner of the crease, pulled the puck between his legs, then roofed it to score.

91裸聊视频淚t was awesome. I told him I91裸聊视频檝e never tried that. It was a heck of a play 91裸聊视频� a big-time play from us,91裸聊视频� noted forward J.T. Miller.

91裸聊视频淭he last two games, he91裸聊视频檚 given us what we need. We need some guys to watch him around the net and his determination,91裸聊视频� noted Tocchet.

The reason for Joshua91裸聊视频檚 success is simple 91裸聊视频� he91裸聊视频檚 willing to pay the price.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 a will factor. If you want to score a goal, you better get some icebags. It91裸聊视频檚 hard to play that style but you are going to get rewarded. Especially in April 91裸聊视频� that91裸聊视频檚 when you get rewarded,91裸聊视频� said Tocchet, making an obvious reference that goals in the playoffs are about going to the so-called dirty areas.

For a team that wants to follow the process and let the results speak for themselves, Sunday91裸聊视频檚 game shows that the Canucks are still a work in progress and not a finished product.

91裸聊视频淲e had a lot of turnovers and you can91裸聊视频檛 turn pucks over. I don91裸聊视频檛 care who you are. When you throw a lot of turnovers, it means you don91裸聊视频檛 respect the opponent. You have to be careful of that,91裸聊视频� added Tocchet.

The Canucks now hit the road for the first time in nearly a month with a three-game southwest junket with stops in Vegas, Arizona and Los Angeles.

Tocchet is hoping that the road will provide the spark his team needs.

91裸聊视频淢aybe it91裸聊视频檚 good that we are going on the road. I think a nine-game homestand is probably not the most ideal thing. We saw a lot of staleness. Maybe this road trip will help us with having to have that 91裸聊视频榬oad mentality91裸聊视频� to play,91裸聊视频� said Tocchet.

OVERTIME

* For Miller, going on the road is welcome for another reason. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e been home for three weeks and my kids have been on a two week break from school, so I91裸聊视频檓 ready,91裸聊视频� deadpanned Miller.

* The Canucks power play awoke from its slumber and went two for four yet the Canucks weren91裸聊视频檛 too happy with the unit. 91裸聊视频淚 thought we were okay. One rep, we couldn91裸聊视频檛 even get set up. We need more urgency. I thought we had a couple of good looks but we need more. It91裸聊视频檚 nice to score but on another couple of reps, we got sloppy,91裸聊视频� said Miller.

* Zellweger91裸聊视频檚 goal was the first of his NHL career and he was lucky enough to have his parents at the game. Zellweger played his junior hockey with Everett and Kamloops of the WHL.

* Vancouver goalie Arturs Silovs received his first start in goal since being recalled three weeks ago and made 20 saves in the win while Anaheim91裸聊视频檚 Lukas Dostal stopped 27 shots.

* One of the on-ice officials for Sunday91裸聊视频檚 game was referee Carter Sandlak. His father Jim was chosen fourth overall by the Canucks in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft and suited up for 509 games for Vancouver over nine seasons. 91裸聊视频淭he House91裸聊视频� was a good player but shoulder injuries derailed his career.

* Marc Bergevin, senior advisor to the General Manager for the Los Angeles Kings, has been taking in a lot of Canucks games lately. There is a good chance that the Kings could wind up being the Canucks first-round opponent, so Bergevin is gathering as much intel as he can.
