The Canucks losing record this season has been largely in part to their inability to close in the third period, with lots of fans even saying they give up in the third. However, there we’re no signs of giving up in this game. While they struggled in the third letting in a goal with just 30 seconds remaining, the effort was certainly there even in a 6 on 4 situation.
With just a few seconds left on the clock Andre Burakovsky from the Kraken got off a good shot on net, but JT Miller was there to save the day, sacrificing his own ankle to block the shot. JT Miller was helped off the ice after the game with the whole team there to support him.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau was certainly lost for words after the win;
“It hasn’t set in yet; like, it was a pretty exhausting game. But the one thing I can say is the guys, they let it all out there. I mean, blocking shots. I know it’s difficult when you haven’t won, and you’ve got the lead at the end. But they certainly wanted to win it.”
This win marks Bruces 600th win as a NHL coach.
Canucks fans are certainly thrilled to get the win but improvements are still needed for this team. Lets not get to comfortable yet Vancouver.
