In 2011, The Vancouver Canucks & The Boston Bruins faced off for the Stanley Cup. What would follow, would be one of the most memorable series in NHL History.

The craziest part of this series in my opinion is that even though it went seven games, Vancouver got outscored 23-8 in the series. That is absurd!
-
Something you didn't mention was how absolutely dominant Tim Thomas was, Canucks put 246 shots on net and Thomas only allowed 8 goals, for a 96.7% save percentage. Arguably the best goalie performance in a stanley cup series ever
-
The next day my 6th grade teacher snuck my class out of school, took out 24 toonies at the bank, took us downtown to help clean up. The principal tried getting him in trouble but all the parents defended him for teaching us a lesson. Thank you mr. scott!!
-
That hit on Horton pissed off the Bruins so much that they sent the Canucks to hell.
-
I loved the Boston fan at Vancouver game next season holding the sign, "Winning the cup here was a riot"
-
Just ask the 96-98 Red Wings and Avalanche teams how fast 1 hit can change a series/rivalry and how long a grudge can be held, too.
-
This series changed my life forever. I quit watching the canucks when they lost and haven’t looked back. Saved myself the inevitable disappointment for the last 13 years 😅
-
I remember this series so well. I was a freshman in college and was back in Boston for the parade when they won. Was such a sweet victory for Boston and the parade was insane.
-
You just brought back all the anxiety of an 11 year old kid seeing his favourite team lose in the finals for the first time. Great video
-
It’s actually crazy how much of an impact that hit had. I love the Bruins, but they’ve had so many heartbreaking losses by choking games away that the 2011 team is an anomaly. The Horton hit not only woke up the whole team, but it even eradicated the choking aspect that they’re known for
-
One of the most intense series I can remember in any sport. Red Wings/Avalanche was more sustained over several seasons but the Canucks/Bruins Cup final was nuts.
-
Wow, I haven't watched hockey in a long time but that recap really brought me back to the pure intencity that games have and how much i used to enjoy it. Five stars
-
I’ll never forget Horton pouring the Boston water onto the ice and how the team responded and rallied around him
-
I remember that series like it was yesterday and the aftermath. The games itself are why I love hockey so much more than any other sport; it was a war for each of those 7 games. You don't really see that in any other sport.
-
I remember when I lived in Nanaimo in 2011, we were driving through town and the management had renamed the local "Boston Pizza" chain to "Vancouver Pizza" in support of the Canucks. Everyone bandwagoned. First time since '94 they had a chance at the cup. 30 years later, they have another chance.
-
Really good summary. I was at the Commodore on Granville. Stanley Cup was there. I was in high school #VanCity 93/94. Both riots completely different. Most people in 2011 were not from the lower mainland. It was disgusting and disrespectful. ❤
-
This series defined both a team and a city, and not in the best of ways. I think Vancouver has finally forgiven itself and is giving much needed love to this new squad. They stand on the shoulders of giants, and deserve just as much to be the next era of Canucks hockey.

Just because someone's eyelids aren't shut, doesn't mean they're conscious. That's a significant neurological injury/TBI. The eyes will look towards the area of the brain injury, and his were looking up and left. Definitely not conscious.
-
Your videos have genuinely sparked a light in me I feel like I haven’t felt in a long time
-
I could watch that series over and over. It still gets me excited every time.
