The issues between stars J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson is definitely concerning, but they are not the only players on the team that need to step up and start contributing.

Alvin told the media that the team needs to dig deep and find the same spark that made them so successful last season.
He proceeded call out the stars on the Canucks to step up and be better.
"It's one thing to be a star on a mediocre team. It's one thing to be a star on a good team. It's my expectation that those guys, they're going to carry our team.
