from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,

“I said it before that it would be great to get it and for it to be a goal and in a huge win for us, and both happened today,” said Daniel, who got to 1,000 points by beating Preds goalie Pekka Rinne from the slot. “For me, it was top shelf, but it hit his stick and went five-hole.

“He’s a good goalie and it doesn’t matter where you aim it, it feels like he’s going to stop it. I’m just happy it’s over.”

Well, it’s not over. The Canucks will acknowledge the feat Saturday and everybody should be on their feet.

Said Boeser: “Being out there for Daniel’s goal was really cool. The smile on his face gives you goosebumps down your whole body and I had chills. It was a special moment.”

Added Travis Green: “Talking about Dorse this morning, this was a real nice response from our team tonight. This was a good test for us and I liked that we were playing Nashville. We needed a response and we got it. And to see Daniel get that milestone was special.”
