After what Vancouver Canucks fans thought was just another remarkable comeback on this exhilarating playoff run, Evan Bouchard and the Edmonton Oilers
Goaltending played a huge role in the Canucks’ series win over the Nashville Predators. But in true Canucks fashion, it didn’t go the way anybody expected.
Under most circumstances, a bonus trip to Music City would be a good thing. Under most circumstances, an opportunity to watch more Vancouver Canucks hockey would be a great thing.
I get it, it’s the second half of a back-to-back, but come on man. The Vancouver Canucks got a late winner for a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. The score was a lot closer than most people expected it to be and it wasn’t exactly the most exciting content in the game either.
Brutal. The Vancouver Canucks lost 6-3 to the Vegas Golden Knights in uninspiring fashion. Going down 5-1 early in the second put the nail in the coffin, and while Quinn Hughes tried to make things interesting, the rest of the team looked flat and unable to get any pushback into this game.
The Vancouver Canucks debuted a new scoring line on Sunday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks, and the immediate returns were extremely positive. Wingers Conor Garland and the recently-returned Dakota Joshua traded in their usual centre for a clear-cut upgrade in JT Miller.
Hey, that’s 100 points on the season. The Vancouver Canucks beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 at home to close out the homestand, though the manner of victory was a little unconvincing.
Okay, we’ve had enough of the “try not to clinch” challenge. The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 3-1 decision to the Dallas Stars last night, falling apart in the final 5 minutes to lose the game.
That was some clinical defensive hockey. The Vancouver Canucks beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 in a game that wasn’t the most exciting to watch. It was effective, shutdown hockey that the Canucks played, jumping out to a lead and making sure to snuff out any life or hope that the Habs were trying to generate.
Now that’s the Canucks team that’s sitting atop the Pacific. The Vancouver Canucks beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in what probably should’ve been a bigger Canuck victory.
After back to back losses and a couple of instances where he didn’t like the way his hockey club handled adversity, Rick Tocchet tried to get his team’s attention by rolling out a few new looks at Vancouver Canucks practice on Monday.
It’s no surprise that Ilya Mikheyev has been struggling over the last two months.
That was a very solid win. The Vancouver Canucks triumphed 3-1 against the Vegas Golden Knights, taking full advantage of a good team not playing up to their billing.
A fitting way to cap off the worst month of the 2023-24 season. The Vancouver Canucks dropped a 4-3 overtime decision to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a game where they blew a 2-0 lead and a 3-2 lead.
I’m not entirely sure what I just watched. The Vancouver Canucks lost in absurd fashion, a 10-7 defeat against the Minnesota Wild. Yes, it was entertaining, but it was also just ugly hockey at times.
The highlight of the morning matchups were the cartoons. The Vancouver Canucks played two matinee matchups, dropping a 4-3 decision to the Detroit Red Wings in overtime before winning against the Washington Capitals 3-2 in overtime.
The Vancouver Canucks got absolutely smoked by the Boston Bruins 4-0, in a game where nearly every player failed to show up. Yes, the Bruins were hungry to prove something after losing to the Flames, but Vancouver did them a lot of favours by being completely flat throughout the game.

NHL Player Safety has fined Toronto Maple Leafs’ forward Sam Lafferty $3,108.11, the maximum allowable amount under the CBA for his cross-checking of Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ross Colton.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs may have escaped their first game in Tampa Bay this series with a stunning overtime victory, not all of their players will leave Saturday’s contest entirely unscathed.
Lafferty brings speed, tenacity and the ability to slide onto either of a team’s penalty-killing units. He can hound pucks, create havoc on the penalty kill and finish his checks.
