The preseason of hockey is the most exciting for fans since it gives news to everyone that hockey season is about to start very soon for the regular season. And that everyone just can’t wait to see what some of the new players can do in a preseason game.
The Vancouver Canucks had their preseason opener game against the Calgary Flames, and it was fun to watch and really intense. Everybody in the stadium was so excited to see the Vancouver Canucks play a preseason game and was so hyped to see it.
And then when all the players were ready, the game started. The Vancouver Canucks were skating around, trying their best to make some action in the game. But they couldn’t get so much action in the 1st period, especially for the Calgary Flames which the period ended 0 to 0 with no goals in the first period.
Then the second period started with action, but not a lot from the Vancouver Canucks but the Calgary Flames were able to put up a huge score of 3 goals in the 2nd period and the Vancouver Canucks couldn’t put any goals in and the period ended with just 3 to 0 having the Calgary Flames with a huge lead going into the 3rd Period.
In the 3rd period it wasn’t really going well for the Canucks but they started to put some pressure on the Calgary flames with the epic passing and trying to find open shots for them to score a goal to put something on the score board.

Even though it was just a preseason game it did mean a ‘lot to the players because they wanted to at least get a win especially on the preseason opener and to give the Canucks fans some hype and excitement.
But the fans are not worried at all since this is only a preseason game and not a regular season game since preseason doesn’t really matter at all since it doesn’t goes towards there chance on making it the NHL Playoffs.
