Gilman: Canucks players 'clearly believe in themselves'

The Vancouver Sun outlines Canucks captain Henrik Sedin's support for the coaching staff in the wake of Wednesday's come-from-behind shootout win against the Winnipeg Jets.

Assistant GM Laurence Gilman likes how the team was able to move past Monday's ugly loss to the Islanders and drown out the surrounding white noise surrounding the franchise.

“Our players have a strong will to win and they clearly believe in themselves,” noted Gilman. “Obviously Wednesday's game was one we needed to win. They showed up and played hard from the outset and we expect we're going to play every game down the stretch in the same manner. I would use the word 'debacle' to describe what occurred Monday but it's one game and, in this business, you have to put those kinds of games behind you and show up for the next one. In this case, we got the win and now we move on to Washington.”
