Chris Higgins Doesn't Hold Back on What He's Seeing Out of the Vancouver Canucks This Season

""I believe in the team we have here. We all know the parity of the league and the condensed schedule didn't help, but we're very excited about the group we have here, and more so, how they have come together, and how they bought into the coaches and how we want to play. They seem to have enjoyed coming to the rink, and there's been a lot of laughs, and coming together as a team has been important for Adam [Foote]. I give the players a lot of credit." Allvin said.

He added, "I think we have a good mix here with the older guys being here in the past and seeing some of the younger guys coming up from Abbotsford and Braeden Cootes coming in from junior hockey. It's been a very inspiring training camp leading up to this point. So, I think the team is ready and the staff is ready to get going here."

"I think goals. See who scores the goals this year. I think they had a little bit of trouble last year. New look on the power play. But that'll be something I'm looking forward to this year." Higgins said.

When asked who he wants to see bounce back or who could be an X factor, he added, "I'd like to see one of the young guys take a bigger role. You know, you got Bains and Cootes and Lekkerimaki and Pettersson on D. One of them has got to make a big impact this season."
