What was said

Bruce Boudreau spoke about the love he gets from the fans and the “Bruce There It Is” chants.

“I’m 67 years old and never experienced anything like this before,” said the Canucks head coach.  “The people in Vancouver have been amazing. It’s pretty incredible.”

It would be a huge mistake if the they don’t bring him back. It sounds like he really wants to stay in Vancouver and enjoys the city.

Boeser talked about the team’s resilency.

“Shows what our team is capable of,” he said. ” It’s pretty amazing where we are right now compared to the beginning of the year and we take a lot of pride in that.”

Advanced stat of the night

Boeser was second on the Canucks in Corsi For behind Juho Lammikko with 70%. (Lammikko had 78.57%.)

Wrap up

Schenn thanked the fans for their support. After over a year without fans at Rogers Arena, it was good to have them in the building.

Martin was the receiver of the WWE Championship Belt. No surprise there.

There is one more rodeo for the Canucks. It is Friday in Edmonton against the Oilers. Puck drop is at 6:00 p.m.
