Canucks Vs Bruins – Game 7 Entrance & Anthems – 2011 Playoffs – 06.15.11 – HD
Here are Your Vancouver Caaaaaaaaaaanuuuuucks… The Canadian National Anthem performed by Mr. Mark Donnelly and the American National Anthem performed by Mr. Richard Loney.
I still believe the 94 canucks had the best chance to win the cup . They came with in one goal to tie sent it to overtime hitting 3 goal posts in the third period and outplayed the rangers in the third period as well . We’re in 2011 they never were in game 7 from the start . Very boring game 7 to say the least .
No Crosby golden goal can compare with Vancouverites to the feeling they had at this moment, that night, before Game 7, at home. And then 4 Bruins goals lit a proverbial match and both the city and the franchise haven't recovered since.
Man if the multiverses were real I wish I would have been born into the one where the Canucks win the cup, what a rush it would be to see the boys win it in game 7 in an overtime game winner by one of the 3 kings i grew up loving as a kid, Burrows or one of the Sedins, hell maybe even Bieksa or Kesler.
Canucks’ Bruce Boudreau learns that pain remains from 2011 Stanley Cup Final ———————-
‘I didn’t think who they (Bruins) beat at the time. I was reminded very quickly after the media session that they beat Vancouver in seven games. Yeah, it didn’t sit well’
Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau learned the 2011 Stanley Cup Final series remains a painful memory for Canucks fans.
Bruce Boudreau made a bit of a boo-boo, and it was a big deal in Vancouver.
In his post-game address Saturday night, the Canucks coach referenced how well the Boston Bruins’ fourth line played in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final series. It was a point of comparison to what the Bruins had then and what he’s currently getting out of the effective fourth-line alignment of Juho Lammikko between Tyler Motte and Matthew Highmore.
“That’s who I want to make — if I get the opportunity — to make teams like,” Boudreau said post game. “You use your fourth line a lot, they can play in both ends of the ice and when they’re contributing offensively, it’s a big plus for us.”
It obviously didn’t play well here.
It would have been akin to asking the Rogers Arena deejay to play ‘Chelsea Dagger,’ the Chicago Blackhawks goal song that is a no-no in these parts even though the once-heated rivalry has since simmered. But that song still stings.
“I know where I was going with it (Bruins comparison) because they had (Shawn) Thornton and (Gregory) Campbell and played 12 or 13 minutes every night,” Boudreau explained on Monday after practice. “Even their best players never played more than 18 minutes.
“They just kept throwing guys over the boards and it worked. So far that (Canucks fourth) line has been pretty successful for us and when we are successful, they’re playing a lot of minutes. I like it.”
The Canucks blew 2-0 and 3-2 series leads in quest of the franchise’s first Stanley Cup triumph that spring of 2011, and those wounds haven’t totally healed. Why pick at a scab? Why not reference another team?
“I didn’t think who they (Bruins) beat at the time,” added Boudreau. “I was reminded very quickly after the media session that they beat Vancouver in seven games. Yeah, it didn’t sit well.”
For the record, that Bruins’ fourth line also included Daniel Paille and it wore down the injury-plagued Canucks, with the trio holding the Canucks’ fourth line to zero series points.
I think back to this moment quite often .. I wish it would have ended differently. The Canucks team that season was amazing. I loved every single one of them.
Every fucking time a tear comes to my eye. My home province team that I’ve spent many hours driving to and from Vancouver to watch play. For 1 night was canadas team for them to go down in dramatic fashion and the city of Vancouver to be an embarrassment to our country

This anthem for game 7 is so bittersweet, all this energy and hype for nothing but sadness in the end
Ladies and gentlemen your Vancouver Canucks

And it all went horribly wrong from there. Man, what a fucking bummer

Crazy that 2 1/2 hours later, all those fans took their anger to the streets and started rioting
The most beautiful pre game there ever was
I’m crying in the club
Only time i cried after a hockey game
What a run
the NHL just isn't the same without Don.
This is one of the greatest moment in Stanley Cup Finals. I love it!!!
0:57 Thank the lord Don was wrong one time, and this was it…
I re-watch this from time to time, such an unreal intro. Fans are loud, the music, the air raid siren. All of it.
Goosebumps. Hopefully Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lekkerimaki, etc can lead us here soon
I think back to this moment quite often .. I wish it would have ended differently. The Canucks team that season was amazing. I loved every single one of them.
The Canucks not winning this will haunt me for the rest of my life. This would have made my life complete
"good evening – ron maclean and donald s. cherry"… back when hnic was worth watching before it got sold to sportsnet
Love how Cherry made a fool of himself predicting a Vancouver win. What a loser.
The day that every Canucks fan had there hearts broken please God let the Canucks win the cup once.
Better if no Ron Maclean bullshit about electricity
Bruins were good man the goalie was the main reason the game 7 was the greatest back and fourth hockey
As a lifelong Bruins fan, this was a fantastic night!
Every year I think about this. 😢
Wild fan here and I absolutely love this intro!! 👏👏
Every fucking time a tear comes to my eye. My home province team that I’ve spent many hours driving to and from Vancouver to watch play. For 1 night was canadas team for them to go down in dramatic fashion and the city of Vancouver to be an embarrassment to our country
Wow, the intro ALWAYS gives me goosebumps even as an OILERS fan
