Canucks prospects tracker: Woo's comeback bid, Wild Bill strikes again
Jett Woo
Everyone loves a good comeback story.
Jett Woo’s is a work in progress.
The Abbotsford Canucks defenceman — a highly-touted 2018 second round pick whose development path has been uneven, at best — has found his footing this campaign, motivated by a season that went sideways for the 22-year-old.
“I know definitely last year, it was a tough year for me, mentally,” Woo told Postmedia after practice on Thursday. “Just when I was starting to feel it, I get injured. Come back, have COVID, miss another couple games. Play half a game, hurt my wrist, miss seven-and-a-half weeks, come back and it’s almost playoff time. We have all our D set, all of our forwards set, and I end up playing forward.”
Woo went back to basics this past summer, watching tons of game tape and working hard on his skating.
“For me and my development, I know I had a great camp this year and I felt good. I feel I’ve been playing great these last couple games and moving my feet.”
Woo put his improved stride to the test on opening night in Abbotsford a couple weeks ago, when a San Diego Gull had the gall to toe-drag the 6-foot, 205-pound right-shot D-man.
“I tried to backcheck as hard as I could and luckily I was right there in the perfect spot to make a hit and was able to get a good lick in on him,” said Woo. “I get my stick and look behind me and I see my D partner (Wyatt Kalynuk) taking it all the way to the house and passing it for a goal, so it was a pretty exciting feeling and I’ll never forget how loud the crowd got there. It was really cool.”

Titans Fall 20-17 to the Chiefs in Overtime
KANSAS CITY – The Titans let one get away here last night against the Chiefs.
A decided underdog, the Titans led for a good chunk of the game at Arrowhead Stadium.
But the Chiefs rallied to win 20-17 in overtime, and they snapped Tennessee's five-game winning streak in the process.
"It's very disappointing," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. "I feel terrible for the players that compete, that put so much into this and play through pain, through discomfort, through any situation. I am lucky that I get to coach them – they fight.
"There's no moral victories, that's the thing I want to make clear. We came over here to win, and that's all we were thinking about doing."
The Titans led 17-9 late in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs tied the game 17-17 with 2:58 left in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard touchdown run by Patrick Mahomes, and then a two-point conversion run by Mahomes.
The Chiefs then took a 20-17 lead with a 28-yard field goal by kicker Harrison Butker with 4:04 left in overtime.
The Titans had a possession in overtime, but they couldn't do anything with the ball.
"We are just proud of how we played," Titans safety Kevin Byard said. "I don't know how many plays we played on defense – probably like 100 or something like that. We gave up a ton of yards, but we battled our asses off. We kept us in the game the majority of the game against an explosive offense.
"I told them when I walked to the sideline when they kicked the field goal – 'Hey, … I can't ask for nothing more. Everybody was out there battling. Guys were injured, giving everything they've got, and that's all I can ask for at the end of the day."
Malik Willis made his second career start for the Titans in place of an injured Ryan Tannehill.
