This series of blog posts will look back on the highest highs of last season, and hopefully get the Canucks faithful amped for the season to come!

28 days to get back to playing Canucks hockey. 28 days to get back to winning games.

Today’s memory: Last season on February 2, 2011, Cody Hodgson scored his first career NHL goal. Judging from the skill he showed on this goal, it will be the first of many goals to come.

Hodgson showed some dangle, and some nice stick-handling through the slot before shooting the wrister. And #ThatsWhatSheSaid.

With Ryan Kesler likely out of the Canucks line up to start the season, it seems like Hodgson should get a good look at more quality minutes (okay .. just more minutes) to begin the season. Hodgson didn’t get many minutes in the playoffs, but he didn’t embarrass himself with the minutes he had.

He has the skills to move right up to the 2nd line center spot, leaving Manny Malhotra centering the 3rd line, and Maxim Lapierre leading the 4th line center committee.

Agree? Disagree?
