While the remarkable run of the Canucks under Bruce Boudreau has come to an end with the team barely failing to make the playoffs, there is optimism regarding the franchise’s future.
In the last 2 games of the season, the Canucks picked up 3 of a possible 4 points with a 3-2 overtime victory over the LA Kings on Thursday night, followed by a 3-2 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.
In total, the Canucks picked up 92 points this season, falling six points shy of a playoff spot.
