Wow , I just witnessed NHL history today with Vancouver Canucks. NUCKS are 1 of 3 teams in NHL History to blow a 3 goal lead and lose game in OVERTIME against my Seattle Kraken... YES, I invaded The Rogers Arena and bared witness to this event. Saturday will be looked back upon as a moment that helped the rivalry spark, when the NUCKS watched a three-goal lead disappear in the final five minutes of regulation, gave up a breakaway game-winner in overtime and left Rogers Arena echoing with faint chants of "Let's Go Kraken." Earlier in the day I met my friend at the gift shop and shared lunch to get ready for the game, yet it wasn't much of a game for me until final 5 minutes when Canucks tanked righted before my eyes and placing a huge smile on my face. Seeing Canucks lose on home ice is what I wanted to see yet things looked grim for over 55 minutes however miracles happen. The look on all the fans & NUCKS supporters was priceless when Kraken Vince Dunn thundered in the overtime goal... VANCOUVER CANUCKS you provided me with a wonderful first time experience seeing my team on your home ice & then self destructing. BRAVO , I'll never forget it ! read more

The Vancouver Canucks are among the NHL's oldest teams, but they're not one of the Original Six nor were they one of the five teams added during the league's first expansion in 1967. They joined, along with the Buffalo Sabres, in 1970. Since then, the Canucks have been Canada's westernmost NHL team and the only one in British Columbia. Despite decades of history, Vancouver has never won the Stanley Cup. Coincidentally, the team is tied with Buffalo for being the two oldest in the league to not win the Cup. The Canucks have reached the Stanley Cup Finals three times (1982, 1994, 2011) which is one more time than the Sabres (1975, 1999). The Canucks also won back-to-back Presidents' Trophies, for having the best regular season record, in 2011 (117 points) and 2012 (111 points, lockout-shortened season). These were Vancouver's best years in recent memory and they occurred when former player Mike Gillis was general manager (2008-2014). Gillis orchestrated numerous deals that led to those successful seasons including retaining star twins Daniel (leftwing) and Henrik Sedin (center) and Robert Luongo (goaltender). Both Henrik Sedin (2010-2018) and Luongo (2008-2010) served as team captains. The Sedin twins played their entire NHL careers in Vancouver (18 seasons, 2000-2018) and had their numbers retired in 2020. No. 22 for Daniel and No. 33 for Henrik. The Sedin twins lead the franchise, 1-2, all-time, in points, assists, and games played. In addition, Daniel Sedin is the franchise leader in goals (393) including game-winning (86) and power-play (138) goals. Among Canucks goalies all time, Luongo has the most wins (252) and shutouts (38). All three of these guys played in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals which drew high ratings. The Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins, 4-3, in a series that went the distance. Vancouver had home ice advantage and they needed it -- the team played noticeably worse on the road. In the three games played in Boston, the Canucks averaged only 1.00 goal per game as opposed to 1.25 goals per game at home (not great either). Also, former third-string goalie Cory Schneider ended up replacing Luongo in two of those road games, Games 4 and 6. The Canucks set a league-low record in those 2011 Finals: least goals scored by any team in a seven-game series (8). The Canucks currently play at Rogers Arena, also known as "The Garage" for when the venue was named General Motors Place (1995-2010). This is the same arena - GM Place - that the NBA's Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-2001) played in. Both the Canucks and the Grizzlies were the first teams to play in the arena when it opened in 1995. Since 2012, it's had a seating capacity of 18,910 for Canucks games, comparable to most other NHL arenas today. The Garage is located next to BC Place and Costco on the east side of downtown. read more

Been following this business since 1977. The current owner is not a good person. They meddle in day to day operations of their management team and bumble things up on a regular basis. I recommend voting with your wallet and keeping your money read more

Canucks lost as usual, was a good night hanging out with friends. Only $10 for an adult beverage ( ) although the 50 / 50 draw was pretty high. As I said at game, would rather see a throw on net than the bad passing of Canucks... read more

While visiting Vancouver I had the pleasure to attend a Canucks game. Wooo! After spending the last 20 years watching the Ducks and the Kings, I was happy to watch my favorite sport in a real hockey town. The tickets were not cheap, but they are not cheap in Los Angeles either. We paid only slightly more than what we would have paid at the Staples Center {Honda Center is generally cheaper} for similar tickets (just a few rows back from the glass). Of course being Canada, everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. On the SkyTrain on the way over, we were in a sea of Canucks fans of all ages and appearances. At the stadium, the fans were buzzing with excited anticipation. We started off at the team store and scored some great gear for the game. I was amazed how contained and polite everyone was during the game. Not that I'm a crazed fan, but I'm used to jumping up and down cheering and yelling (non-profane) at players and refs. The price of the concession stands were pretty standard, but they had fresh made mini-donuts that seemed pretty standard. Leaving the arena was daunting as it seemed as if the entire population of Vancouver were trying to board the SkyTrain at the same time. I imagine most people do take public transportation since parking is scarce and almost as pricy as the tickets to the game. Luckily we purchased our return ticket in advance so that helped a bit. Traffic into the SkyTrain station was managed well and it did not take long for us to be on our way. read more

Oh Canucks, how you excite me and disappoint me. You're like a bad relationship that I can't get away from. A life long companion that I will never leave. When the times are good they're great and when the times are bad they're horrible. You're such a polarizer. We may have our quarrels, but you inspire me to riot on your behalf. You have me watching your every move. You entertain me and you get our whole city behind you. Over the years some have forgotten or dropped you, not I. In the end and deep down, we know there's a mutual love. read more

I want to be the owner, how come I can't do that? Why you gotta be rich to own a sports team? If I was the owner I would give away tickets to everyone and trade for the best players. I would also take the roof off of Rogers so you could play under the stars like at a baseball game. That would be fresh. read more

I grew up in BC watching the Canucks with my Dad. You have to support your team ... even when they continue to disappoint you in the post-season (if they make it that far). I don't know if Sundin is going to make a big difference, but time will tell. I love it when they play hard, forecheck, and show effort in general. But sometimes it just seems like they didn't come out to play, which is frustrating as a fan. Why should I bother watching if they don't bother doing their job? There is nothing quite like attending a sold-out game at GM Place. It's got a mood and intensity all of its own. Just hearing the collective "oohs" and sighs and the sound of the skates on the ice is worth the ticket price, win or lose. read more

Vancouver Canucks - From Vancouver Canucks website - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

As a long time fan, I wish that the Vancouver Canucks would win more ? Winning has always been a struggle for this franchise and even their best players (like Petterson) do not score? I listened to the radio home opener on Saturday night and it was painful to listen to the game and how listless and impotent the Canucks offence was ? The booing of the team by fans after the game was both highly deserving and frankly, an embarrassment. I am a nationally ranked, professional sports coach who is based out of Kelowna and my athletes, over a 27 year period, have medalled at the highest levels of competition, including at two world championships. I hope that things get better for you folks ! sincerely, Master R.J. Smith, 7th Dan (I.T.F. Chang Hun) www.kel-west.org read more

Maybe try to win a game this year? Might be neat to try something new and not just suck all season long.

Sayyyyy whaaaaat? You can review sports teams? Well I love the Canucks. I am a die hard fan. Win or lose, I'm always cheering for our guys. Live games are a special treat for sure and I wish I could go more often and I've spent a pretty penny watching the games in the pubs. We're gonna make it far this play-off season. I can feel it. read more

I hope the suits don't consider trading JT Miller for draft picks. He's the heart and soul of the team. First time back from covid protocol he scores a hat trick. He may have a hard edge to him but he cares about the team and he wants to win. read more

For years I've wanted to see an NHL game in person and this weekend I finally got the chance. Caught the Canucks against the Sharks, in the somewhat unusual circumstance of a 1PM puckdrop. Not too many afternoon games in hockey. We had pretty mediocre seats, which still cost a pretty penny since this is a Stanley Cup Finals team from last year. But the sightlines are great even from the upper bowl. The Canucks hit the ice after a nicely modulated pre-game show, with moody lighting, flashy lasers, nice graphics, and good sound effects--but it doesn't feel corny and forced, it's more like waiting for the curtain to part before a movie. Gives you that feeling of anticipation. Right now these guys are a very fast and athletic team, and that was a cool matchup to see against the Sharks, who are much more rugged and physical. The Sharks created a lot of traffic-y activity in the Canucks' zone throughout the game, but the home team had a tendency to disrupt them, flick the puck out, and flow like a highlight reel up to the other end of the ice. They never had more than a one-goal lead, and didn't take their final lead until about four minutes were left. Very exciting. One of the most entertaining incidental moments came from the father and daughter seated on one side of me. Specifically, from the daughter. Luongo was in the net yesterday, and when the Sharks were on the attack at the end, they pulled their goalie and came at the Canucks 6 on 5. Somebody knocked Luongo's stick out of his hand, back into the net, and the puck never left the Canucks zone, so for about 30-45 seconds he was frantically trying to mind the net with his bare gloves. He never had a chance to turn around and pick his stick back up. At this point, we're all leaning forward, the tension taking years off our lives--to say nothing of what's it doing to Luongo. This sweet six-year-old next to me keeps saying "pick it upppp! pick it uuuuuup! Ohhhh, thank you!" She was as into it as any of us. I started cackling when she saw him turn around and grab his stick and said her thank you. She was still beside herself, and turned to me with her mouth all scrunched up in a kissy face, eyes bulging, and hands fluttering in mid-air. Easily the cutest thing I have ever seen at a sporting event. There was finally a whistle for a face-off, and you could see Luongo slump like somebody drilled a hole in the bottom of his gas tank. You could go to NHL games for years and not see the efforts the Canucks are putting on the ice every time right now. I'll be coming back to see these guys every year for a long time. A great weekend getaway for Americans in the Pacific Northwest to be sure. read more

We came to watch Game 4 of the Playoff Finals at Rogers Arena since Vancouver was at Boston. While the outcome of the game was rather depressing, I still enjoyed the experience. We were given playoff towels on our seats and were seated in section 115 so could actually see the intermission entertainment easily. Downside was the cost of beer ($8.5 per pint) but that's to be expected at any stadium. read more

First in the NHL as of this moment deserves recognition. Going into OT & Shootout as I was hoping vs. Columbus, pure awesome. Needs more work on One-Timers and Shots-On-Goal. Let's see how the Playoffs will treat you. read more

Okay, it is hard for me to write this.... But, I feel like I need to. I have grown up in this city, and I grew up loving the Canucks. Over the last 10 years, I've seen an increase in fights in the stands, and general drunkeness. It has become a place that is no longer family friendly, and caters to shameful behaviour of showering the ice with garbage, with fans chanting for other fans to fight in the stands. My impression was always I attended the Stanley Cup Final game 7 against Boston, and I saw the lawless behaviour in the stands. Two rows in front of me, there was a man who was able to buy 12 beers, with the sole intention of throwing them on the ice. I saw two men in a fight fly over 3 rows narrowly missing a mother with a small baby! It's been over 3 years since that night, and if it wasn't for the carnage on the streets that night, people would have been talking about the fact that Gary Betmann had a drink miss the back of his head by a matter of INCHES! Hilarious when you're 9 years old, but as adults that behaviour is totally shameful... all too common from Canuck fans unfortunately. Where is security? Please take a look at Football in England, that's how fan safety should be handled. Not the odd small women or overweight volunteer. We need more police officers arresting people on the spot. Aquilini needs to buck up to ensure that real VANCOUVER Canuck fans FROM VANCOUVER who LIVE IN VANCOUVER feel safe to bring their children to games. Without that, we don't have an honest second generation of family involvement at games. It's hard to say this but you guys have lost me as a fan because I don't feel safe attending Canuck games. Buck up and put more Vancouver Police in the stands, or I'm sure you'll lose more in the years to come. Thanks read more

I do enjoy the fervor of playoff season. The rest of the year I'm not so interested, but hey I've never claimed to be a hockey fan. Unfortunately the Canucks don't treat the city to that playoff fervor as much as anyone would like. A friend had an extra ticket to a home game at GM place so I got to go free. It's a pretty fun event with lots of crowd participation. The upper seats are much less cramped than at a Vancouver Giants game. But if I'd actually paid for my ticket I think the faster hockey of the Giants is a far better value. I appreciate seeing cars with their little window-affixed Canucks flags and knowing there's a game that evening. Overall the Canucks are definitely an appreciated addition to the city. read more

Went to the 2010-2011 Home Opener last night. So much happened in the off-season that it undoubtedly increased expectations a lot. Thank goodness, a season isn't defined in one game. You can see the rustiness after a diluted pre-season, and the line chemistry was not quite there yet. The Canucks did not play horribly. Much like the economy, I'm cautiously optimistic - I did lay down a $50 bet on the Canucks to win the Cup when I was in Vegas a few months ago. Is that too optimistic??? I think of the Canucks as an athletically ungifted :) sibling. Winning 1st place in a race won't come easy, but you can't help but cheer for them when they have any success. At the end of the day, the overtime lost was disappointing but 'Yay! I'm a fan'. still. read more

I recently purchased Canucks tickets through a 3rd party vendor. I have a Canucks account and the tickets were secured. The tickets were purchased off a season ticket holder. The game was set for 50% capacity and 6 days before the game THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS organization gave my tickets back to their Season Ticket holder even though ALL season ticket holders tickets WERE NOT CANCELLED. As a result I have lost both my tickets and my money. The Canucks support staff basically blamed me for buying off a 3rd party even though THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS STAFF WERE THE ONES THAT TOOK MY TICKETS OUT OF MY SECURE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ACCOUNT.......NOT the 3rd party vendor. They of course were terribly sorry! BOLLOKS! The Canucks representative actually laughed at me on the phone. Pathetic. Of course they could not care less as they cannot lose. Only customers lose with THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS POLICY......CHANGE YOUR POLICY CANUCKS OR I WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU AGAIN!!! read more

oh boys! i love you. great players, great atmosphere at gm place, first art ross , play-offs... love all of you little McNuckets.... read more

I still love Luongo! But those boys were a little disappointing in the playoffs this year. There are some good players on the team but when you put them together, they're all a mess. read more

I will love this team forever. I agree, the ticket prices are insance but I am ok with going to the local pub and having a few bevvies or watching it from the luxury of my own home on my HD tele and not have to beat the crowds. That's not to say that I wouldn't like to be able to afford to go sometimes (that's why they only get the 4 stars). read more

...one star off because I had to pay $80/ticket to sit in the nosebleeds and $35 to park but as the 16th NHL Arena I've had the opportunity to visit I can only say that it is one of the very best. Great fans. Great sight lines. Great Concourses. Awesome Giftshop. An amazing place to see a game if you've got the cash. read more

I am not Canadian but I think the Canucks are an awesome team! Love the Swedish twins ;-))

Actually Brian Burke started to make this team better, and Mike Gillis just fortunately inherited the Sedins, Luongo, etc. though I don't think Luongo will be the answer in the playoffs again. Sure, he played well last night but the pressure.... read more

Over-hyped pregame show. Please Canucks Media Representatives, give a listen to me as I've been sitting in the same season ticket seats since 2008. You can see me in Club section 105. First of all, thank God you did change the music, which has been oh so stale. But....why, oh why, did you bring back Mark Donnely to sing, "Oh Canada"? Why can't you find some new talent in Vancouver that is not stale? (Hint: the talent pool is rich in Vancouver!) And, I am seriously offended that your over-hyped media spots had me convinced to get to the game early for the home opener, and get in my seats early for the "Pregame Show". Really? A five minute, yes, five minute video was shown that could have been made by high school audio/visual students. It was just graphics of some fire/iron, with a few images of the boys, but seriously, the AFLAC commercials on television are more entertaining, so that is my gage. I will say, that if you eat at the club at the arena, the food is really good. And overall, I would give the food a really good rating for arena food in general. With the Club seats, the mezzanine has a lot of options. You can get all kinds of options from sushi to ceasar salad to prime rib sandwiches, plus your Triple-O's, pizza.... Price of my ticket: $310.50 With that kind of cash, plus your food and beverages and transportation (cab was $15 there and we caught the sky train home).....consider going to Best Buy or Futureshop and buying a HD television. Yep. read more

They put on a decent show even if the team is in a spot of bother. Tickets have gotten expensive, but given that they sell out most games its not surprising. read more

My husband and I drove all the way up from Seattle to catch today's Bruins vs. Canucks game. We got killer seats section 118 row 3 seats 7 and 8 right behind the Canucks bench, on the glass with the equipment managers to the right of my husband - right in ear shot. Kinda cool seats seeing the Canuck players up close but bad to see the game. We are Bruins fans and this was our first time coming to Vancouver for a game. Unfortunately for us we picked the wrong seats being Bruins fans. My husband and I lasted only one period and got kicked out for "allegedly using foul language (cussing)." My husband didn't say a single cuss word the WHOLE time we were down in these seats. His only crime is having a voice that carries and that he was cheering on his beloved Bruins. The head of security caught my husband when he was waiting for me outside the women's restroom, told him there were multiple reports and that we had to leave. We tried to plea our case, and tried to get them to ask anyone who was around us.. (we're very friendly and even high-five'd the ladies next to us when the Canucks scored.) The security officers wouldn't and escorted us to the nearest exit. At the exit doors is where they finally told us the truth and that it was Pat O'Neill the equipment manager that had us kicked out. Apparently at Roger's arena you can get kicked out for cheering for the wrong team. We've had the worst experience at this arena and we will never be coming back. read more
