Vancouver Canucks: Games
built 633 days ago
VANCOUVER The Vancouver Canucks approached the NHL trade deadline yesterday in need of some scoring punch and were hunting big game in Brad Richards, the top centre on the market. The Canucks ended the day with left winger Matt Pettinger, who had seven points in 56 games with the Washington Capitals this season. And the cost was a roster player, left winger Matt Cooke, who has 16 points in 61 games.

The Vancouver Canucks got past the first round of the playoffs for the second time since 1995. The Dallas Stars are going home quickly for a third straight season. Trevor Linden scored the go-ahead goal on a power play seven minutes into the third period to lift the host Canucks to a 4-1 win last night in Game 7, ending the Stars' attempt to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the best-of-seven first-round series.

VANCOUVER Fittingly, the Vancouver Canucks ended practice yesterday with a shootout drill. These days, many Canucks games end in shootouts and not usually in their favour. The most recent example occurred on Wednesday, a 3-2 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche on home ice. Vancouver blew a late 2-1 lead when Joe Sakic scored with 14.
