“We can be heroes, just for one day,” sang the late and great David Bowie. This list will go through the ten most important goals in Vancouver Canucks history, with some of these goals etching the scorers’ names in the history books forever. Each of these goals has had a lasting impression on fans and…
Throughout their 50 year existence, the Vancouver Canucks have scored over 12,600 goals spanning over preseason, regular season and playoff games. However, only a few are so remarkable in nature that they leave a lasting impression. For this article, we’ll be examing the top ten most jaw dropping goals, not necessarily the most important ones,…
For the first time in years, the defensive core stayed healthy. The Canucks did not need the have Utica Comets on speed dial. The positive of that means obviously nobody got hurt, but it also meant that management couldn’t see Olli Juolevi, Brogan Rafferty, and Jalen Chatfield at the NHL level, which would have been…
A lot of things went right for the Vancouver Canucks in the 2019-2020 season. The defence was relatively healthy, Alex Edler reached milestones, and Quinn Hughes stole the show. The goaltending was superb. Jacob Markstrom played on another level while finishing fourth in Vezina Trophy voting, and Thatcher Demko was exceptional when called upon, especially…
The leadership that Bo Horvat has brought in his first year as team captain has showcased why he was a no-brainer to be named the 14th captain in Vancouver Canucks history. The Canucks have had great captains over their 50-year history, and although a few may be somewhat questionable, the majority of these players were…
Jake Virtanen put the puck in the net 20 times this year, but only two came in the postseason, and it feels like we’ve been having this discussion since his first training camp. When will Virtanen figure it out? 18 goals in the regular season was a good accomplishment, but in the postseason, he was…
In a perfect world, Jacob Markstrom would sign a new deal that’s under $6 million annually without a no-trade or movement clause; leaving the Vancouver Canucks with the option to expose him in the Seattle expansion draft while splitting netminding duties next season with Thatcher Demko. However, we’ve known for a long time now that…
J.T. Miller slayed his playoff dragon. Tied with Elias Pettersson for first on the team in playoff scoring with 18 points, Miller came out guns blazing despite facing an apparent wrist injury early on. You can see him in this video with his left wrist taped up. J.T. Miller set the tone early last night…
The second postseason for the captain was one to remember. Bowie William Horvat led the playoffs in goals with ten during the Canucks run, despite being in a matchup role against the other team’s best players, i.e., Ryan O’Reilly. A bull-like effort throughout the welcomed playoff run, Horvat took charge and led by example as…
The 50th and longest season in Canucks history will be one for the ages. It started back on September 13th, 2019, in Victoria and ended in Edmonton the following September at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights. The Canucks surprised many people, managing to force a game 7 in the second round, all the…
