Vancouver Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks' first playoff appearance in five years, and nine years after their Stanley Cup Final appearance, showed that they still have a bit of rust. In a 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild, the Canucks had no answers and were beat down by the Vegas oddsmakers' favourite, Wild. Here are the three areas where they struggled the most in Game 1 and where they need to improve if they are going to make it through this series. Breakout Breakdown First, the Canucks struggled to break out of their zone. If the team had succeeded in their initial attempt to break out of the zone, it is unlikely Alex Edler would have taken the tripping penalty that led to the Wild's first goal. Related: Vancouver Canucks' Top 3 Defensemen of All-Time Unfortunately, the Canucks' second penalty happened in a similar circumstance. Adam Gaudette panicked, shovelling the puck to the middle of the ice, and that turnover led to another penalty. That penalty did not lead to anything...

Vancouver Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks opened up the pursuit for their first Stanley Cup in franchise history with a shutout loss to the stingy Minnesota Wild on Sunday night and will be looking for redemption in Game 2 on Tuesday. The Canucks were blanketed all night by the sound defensive structure of the Wild led by head coach Dean Evason. No matter what they did, they could not generate enough quality chances on back up-turned starter Alex Stalock. Obviously, they will need to change that to win Game 2. It won't be easy, but the Canucks do have the skill and offence to turn the tides. Related: NHL Rumors: Bruins, Rangers, Hurricanes, Canucks, Jets, Blackhawks Though for that to happen the Canucks will need better performances from everyone not named Elias Pettersson, who was probably the best player on the ice even though he never hit the scoresheet. If the Canucks don't want to fall behind 2-0 and consequently face the...

After eight seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, Roberto Luongo was traded back to the Florida Panthers on March 4, 2014, along with Steven Anthony in exchange for Jacob Markstrom and Shawn Matthias. Luongo's eight seasons in Vancouver saw the team reach the playoffs six times and featured a Stanley Cup Final appearance. While the Canucks traded away an elite starting goaltender, they received Markstrom, a goalie with tons of promise who struggled at the start of his career and Matthias, who added forward depth to the team. Losing Roberto Luongo Luongo was traded to Vancouver after the 2005-06 season with Lukas Krajicek for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan Allen, and Alex Auld. In his first season with the team, he was nominated for the Hart Memorial Trophy and Vezina Trophy but came in second for both awards. In each of his first five seasons with the Canucks, he was in the top-10 in the Vezina Trophy voting. Related: 7 Things About Roberto Luongo Along with Cory Schneider, Luongo...
