Idle Canucks eliminated from playoff contention
A disappointing season for the Vancouver Canucks has come to an end. With a Minnesota Wild overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks the idle Canucks have been mathematically eliminated from post-season contention. For a team that entered the season with Stanley Cup aspirations, it’s not the ending anyone in the organization hoped for, but their 36-29-13 record wasn’t enough to make a repeat appearance in the post-season. The Canucks completed their most successful season in a decade in 2023-24, where they carried a Pacific Division win into a series win and took the future Stanley Cup Finalist Oilers to seven games. The Calgary Flames now stand as the lone challenger for one of two wild-card spots, held by the Wild (first) and the Blues (second).
