Dallas Bounces Back with 5 Goal Performance to get First Win of the Series

By Russell Dawson / Vancouver Canucks
April 25, 2024
Injured in the previous game, Gavin Beyreuther will officially be out until April 30th with injured ribs, likely not returning until a hypothetical Game 5.

Conor Garland has the Canucks out to a hot start for Game 3 as he buries top left just 12 seconds into the game. Matt Duchene would tie it up in the last 4 minutes of the opening frame.

Trade Deadline pickup Chris Tanev would get Vancouver out to a 2-1 lead and it looked like the team would head into the third period with the lead until Joe Pavelski had different plans. With just 40 seconds left in the 2nd period, the almost 40 year old fired a wrister over the pad and under the blocker of Casey DeSmith. It would be 2 all heading into the third period with shots practically even (20 For VAN / 19 For DAL).

Things fell apart for the Canucks in the third period as Duchene would pot his second of the night less than a minute in. After the Canucks failed to capitalize on two different powerplays, Pavelski would also score his second of the game, putting the Stars up by two. With Oettinger shutting the door the Canucks were unable to find the back of the net again. Thatcher Demko would play the last 8 and a half minutes of the third period, stopping all four shots he faced

Playoff Storylines to Watch

McDavid and Draisaitl quiet in back-to-back games
In back-to-back losses Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have been shut down by the Vegas Golden Knights. The duo were hot in Game 1 but since then, the Oilers as a team scored 1 goal in Game 2 and 2 goals in Game 3. Edmonton will need to find their goal scoring touch if they want to get back in this series. Stuart Skinner has been good in net and Edmonton needs to get there superstars going to take advantage of it

Oettinger blanks the Canucks with a 40 Save Shutout, Ties Series at 2-2

By Russell Dawson / Vancouver Canucks
April 27, 2024
Deciding who was going to be the starting goaltender for the Canucks tonight was on the forefront of everyone's mind heading into this one. Head Coach Bear Schenn decided to go back to Casey DeSmith and trust him to get the Nucks up 3-1 in this series.

Despite coming out to a flying start, the first period would remain goalless with shots in favour of Vancouver 16-6.

Until the 14:45 mark of the second it was much of the same with 0 goals until Tyler Seguin broke past DeSmith. That opened the floodgates as Radek Faksa and Ty Dellandrea would both score to finish out the period, all goals scored on the blocker side of DeSmith. The Canucks found themselves down 3-0 despite a 29-17 lead in shots.

Vancouver could just not solve Jake Oettinger as they continued to pile on the shots, finishing with 40 to the Stars 24. Evgeni Dadanov would score a fourth goal past DeSmith with just under 3 mins remaining in the game to erode any chance of a Nucks comeback.

John Gibson keeping the Ducks playoff hopes alive
In Game 3 and 4 John Gibson made a combined 84 Saves and allowed 5 goals against versus the offensively driven Colorado Avalanche. He's had stars like Rantanen (0 Goals), Makar (0 Goals) and Landeskog (1 Goal) scratching their heads on how to beat his guy. Will his heroics hold long enough to come back in this series from down 3-1?

Has Joseph Woll found his Roll?
Through Game 3 and 4 Woll has allowed just two goals against in which game four included a 35 save shutout. After such a rough start in this series, has Joseph Woll finally found his roll? The Maple Leafs sure hope so. All he has to do is outduel the very inexperienced Tyler Brennan. Will he be able to continue this string of solid games?

Jason Robertson Scores a Hat Trick as Dallas Wins 5-3

By Russell Dawson / Vancouver Canucks
April 29, 2024
Game 5 saw some lineup changes for the Canucks. Thatcher Demko would make his playoff debut with Casey DeSmith taking to the bench after two lackluster performances in net. Arshdeep Bains would also be moved to the third line in favour of Ilya Mikyehev after the former first line of Bains-Petey-Boeser was a -2 in the last game.

Both teams came out firing for this one at Rogers Arena as Miller would open the scoring before Seguin and Robertson x2 would score before the halfway mark of the first. Following that, Filip Hronek would bomb one in from the point and Andrei Kuzmenko would get a lucky one that hit a Dallas defender in net and slide past the unready Jake Oettinger. It was a 3-3 score after just 20 minutes of play.

The second was much different with pesky Jason Robertson netting his hat trick goal at the 15:12 mark of the second. The Canucks were unable to find twine during the second and head into the third down by one and a looming 3-2 series deficit over their heads.

The Canucks would continue to pile on the shots in the third but Oettinger had an answer for them every single time. You could see the looks on the Canucks players faces as they just could not beat the American star. With their goalie pulled defenseman Nils Lundkvist was able to hit the empty net goal with 50 seconds left to give the Stars a devastating 5-3 lead. Vancouver would finish with 39 shots on goal in the contest, outshooting Dallas once again who had 33

Canucks Stay Alive and Force Game 7 in an Incredible Win

By Russell Dawson / Vancouver Canucks
May 1, 2024
With their backs against the wall Coach Schenn decided to really shake up the lineup to try and spark this dried up offense. J.T. Miller would join Petey and Boeser on L1 and reunite the Lotto Line. Jenner would move to L2 and center Kuzie and Garland. The best fourth line in the regular season would finally break apart with Lafferty heading to L3 with Mikheyev and Hoglander on his flanks. Joshua would move to center on the fourth with Di Giuseppe on his left and Arshdeep Bains (who has been deathly quiet since his hot start) on his right. On Defense the Hronek and Hughes pairing that dominated the season would be split with Tanev joining Hughes on the top pair and Hronek moving to the second pair. And finally, probably the most controversial of all those changes was Thatcher Demko was going to again be named the starter for this deciding Game 6. Will all these changes even matter? Only time will tell.

Similar to Game 4, the opening period was scoreless with shots in favour of Dallas 10-7. Vancouver was able to kill of two hooking penalties from Garland and Tanev. It was such a battle of a game to this point with neither team giving an inch.

Unfortunately for Canucks fans Sam Steel would break the goose egg and score with 4:48 left in the second period. Vancouver was unable to score to finish out the frame and it would come down to what could be the the final 20 minutes of the Canucks season.

Arshdeep Bains would take an uncalled for interference penalty early into the third and the Stars would capitalize with Robertson scoring on the Powerplay. Down 2-0 with 15 minutes left, Vancouver needed to bare down if they wanted to keep their season alive.

Alas, Elias Pettersson would be the one to get it started for the Nucks. It was one Oettinger should of had as Petey sniped it from the goal line over the right shoulder. But they don't ask how, they ask how many, don't they. The big opportunity they were waiting for came when Dadanov took a tripping penalty on Chris Tanev. Just seconds into the 5-on-4 Radek Faksa would practically punch Boone Jenner in the face off the faceoff, resulting in almost a full 2 minute 5v3 for the Canucks Powerplay.

They had chances galore on the man advantage, Hoglander just missed the open net on a one tee from Hughes. Petey swung and missed on a rebound with Oettinger out of position. There was even a partial breakaway from Bains that Otter kicked aside. Canucks fans were on the very edge of their seat ready to explode. Finally with the PKers tired and looking to change, the first unit forwards of Petey, Mikheyev and Joshua burst up the ice. Petey carried it wide on Hakanpaa who had just stepped off the bench and flat footed. He speeded past the finnish defender and saw Oettinger committing to a shot. With Joshua and Mikheyev busting to the net everyone jumped to their feet...

... but almost in slow motion you could see Heiskanen was in the lane for a pass to Joshua and Mikheyev was too far behind. So what does Petey do? He slips the triangle under the stick of the Finish D-Man and it slides right to Joshua who drops to one knee and fires the tying goal home. What a moment for the Canucks faithful!

And after all that they were still on the Power Play. With the boys buzzing they started off hot with a 3 on 2 opportunity that resulted in a block shot. The Canucks recovered and continued to work it around to find openings. They found one when Heiskanen and Hakanpaa got tangled up with Petey and it left Mikheyev all alone in front. Joshua fired him a pass and Mikheyev spun to his backhand but Oettinger made the difficult save. Dallas would get it and clear. Joshua made a rush up the ice but turned it over to Wyatt Johnston who started breaking down the ice. He found himself against Miller and tried to burn him wide... It didn't work out well for him:

Miller laid a crushing bodycheck on the up and coming star which got the Nucks the puck back. Quickly they rushed up the ice and low and behold Joshua and Miller found themselves on a two on one versus Lindell. Lindell took away JT for a pass and Joshua fired a hard shot off the right pad of Oettinger which forced him to hit the splits... Where does the rebound land? Right on the stick of Miller. Past the outstretched Oettinger Miller flicked his wrists and fired it into the yawning cage. 3-2 Canucks!!!

But this wasn't exactly a fever dream for Vancouver. Just after the faceoff after the goal Pettersson would take a questionable tripping penalty on Roope Hintz. Dallas was heading to the Power Play and American Airlines Center was going nuts. Dallas pushed hard and it looked like Matt Duchene was gonna tie things up when he had Demko beat... But he fired it off the Post!

Dallas would recover and feed Heiskanen at the point. Boone Jenner leaped at Miro and poked it off his stick. He had a breakaway! With Stars players hot on his tail deadline addition Jenner busted down the ice with a full head of steam. He faked to his backhand then roofed it over the blocker of Oettinger. 4-2 Canucks! This was a fever Dream!

Robertson would be able to score with 3 minutes left but not long after Dallas would take some bad penalties and Hoglander would make them pay with a 5 on 3 goal. 5-3 Canucks. With the goalie pulled Boone Jenner would catch an errant pass and fire it home to ice this incredible game!
