There were no goals in the second period, but the Canucks dominated again in the third. In the 49th minute, Canucks forward Dakota Joshua scored, making the score 4-1. Elias Pettersson wasn’t happy with his previous goal, so he scored another one for the Canucks in the 53rd minute, and the score was 5-1.

The 57th minute saw another goal from Kirill Marchenko, but it wasn’t enough as the match ended with a final score of 5-2. Even with a win that also broke the Canucks’ losing streak, the fans were not happy.

NHL fans react post-match

The Vancouver Canucks’ management has recently been in the news. Fans are mad at the management because they have been changing the coach of the team frequently. The moment Rick Tocchet replaced head coach Bruce Boudreau, fans were enraged with anger. Here are some mixed reactions –

“Canucks beat up on the bottom feeders, get slapped by the legit teams. Recipe for a mid 1st round pick and more mediocrity. Oh well, losing is tiring. Good win over a dogsh*t team.”
