With the 2019-20 NHL season on pause, it’s an opportune time for Vancouver Canucks fans to reflect on the moments that shaped the franchise.
Sportsnet has been broadcasting classic NHL games during the season suspension. On Saturday night, I watched their replay of the Canucks’ unforgettable Game 7 showdown with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2011.
You all remember the story. The Presidents’ Trophy winners had blown a 3-0 series lead to the arch rival team that eliminated them in the second round of the 2009 and 2010 playoffs. Game 7 required overtime, and the Blackhawks were one goal away from ending the greatest regular season in Canucks history.
