Kiefer Sherwood Has Emotional Response to the Supportive Vancouver Canucks Fans Who Chanted His Name
Kiefer Sherwood has become an absolute fan favorite with the Vancouver Canucks fans, and the crowd chanting his name last night solidified the impact he has already made on the organization.
The Vancouver Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche last night 3-1 with a "little" help from Kiefer Sherwood, who recorded his first career NHL hat-trick and scored every goal for his team.
Sherwood scored all three Canucks goals, netting a natural hat trick in what has been a magnificent start to the season. He got his first goal of the night at even strength, his second shorthanded, and his last into an empty net. - Noah Strang
When the Vancouver Canucks signed Kiefer Sherwood to a two-year deal worth just $1.5 million annually, no one would be able to expect the type of impact he would generate in this short of time.
With 11 goals on the season in just 30 games, Sherwood has already surpassed his previous career best in goals and is just 11 points away from smashing his single-season point total (27).
