Highest scoring game in canucks history

Wayne Gretzky scores his first goal in the Stanley Cup Final game 4 Not surprisingly, Wayne Gretzky led his club with four goals and four assists, while fellow Hall of Famer Mark Messier had six assists. The great Jari Kurri had a hat-trick as well. The Edmonton squad would go on to win the Stanley Cup en route to being considered one of the greatest teams in hockey history. The Oilers came up on the losing end of a goal game just two years and four days after their first goal game in franchise history.

The team that now bears the Winnipeg namesake began life as the Atlanta Thrashers before relocating in The Jets had a mediocre first season in Winnipeg, going overall. But for one game at least, they really showed their mettle, going to the wire in one of the highest-scoring NHL games of all time. Each of Winnipeg's 9 points was scored by a different player. Just one month before Edmonton and Chicago would play their record-setting game, the Oilers set a franchise record against the Vancouver Canucks in November.

Despite the five power plays in the second period alone, the Canucks couldn't put the puck in the net all night. Oilers Winger David Lumley, on the other hand, had a big night with a hat trick and two assists, while Wayne Gretzky had four assists.

They had won the Stanley Cup the previous season and would make the playoffs again in the season. The Rangers, on the other hand, were dismal.

They would end up going that season. So perhaps it's not too surprising that this contest between Detroit and New York was so lopsided. The Red Wings would score 8 points in the third period alone, including a hat trick by left-wing Syd Howe. Saves 1. Save Percentage 1. Cory Schneider. Roberto Luongo. Ryan Miller. Jacob Markstrom.

At this point, the hatred these teams have for one another was evident, fueled by three straight years of matching up in the playoffs, with Chicago winning the first two series.

This time around, the Canucks jumped out to a quick series lead, only to have the Blackhawks come right back and tie the series after an overtime victory in Game Six.

You could flip a coin to see who had the most pressure on them going into Game Seven. The Blackhawks could have felt more due to the fact they won the Stanley Cup last year. However, the Canucks just saw their 3 game lead vanish. For the third straight season, the Canucks faced elimination by the hands of the Blackhawks.

April 26th, A day die-hard Canucks fans remember vividly. The Vancouver Canucks biggest game. The game started fast-paced as the Blackhawks applied pressure right off the opening faceoff. The goal saw Ryan Kesler burst down the wing, blowing by Keith, then passing it out to Burrows who put it by Corey Crawford.

That goal would be the only one scored in a very intense, hard-hitting first period. The second period was much like the first, the Canucks dictated the physicality and were suffocating the Blackhawks.

Crawford was easily the best player for the Blackhawks during this game. He was phenomenal. He eventually finished the game with 36 saves including stopping all 15 shots he faced in the second period. No goals were scored during the second period, sending Vancouver to the third period with a slim one-goal lead. Crawford ended up stopping the penalty shot, giving the Blackhawks a lot of momentum.
