The Vancouver Canucks Are Stanley Cup Contenders

In this video, I delve into the widespread recognition of the Vancouver Canucks' undeniable dominance, solidifying their status as legitimate Stanley Cup contenders for the upcoming 2024 NHL season. The focus is on a comprehensive analysis of the Canucks' performance in their three recent road games against formidable opponents-the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. As the Canucks repeatedly showcase their prowess with jaw-dropping goals, particularly those executed by Elias Pettersson and Nils Höglander, I find myself caught up in the excitement. Additionally, I provide insights into the brewing rivalry between Sidney Crosby and JT Miller, shedding light on the underlying tensions between these two prominent players.

Being born in Vancouver and starting to follow hockey around the time of the 2011 cup run, its been a long 13 years of suffering but we are finally pulling out of it boys. Its like the light at the end of the tunnel.

I feel like the emergence of Nuckhead, and his first video, predicting the canucks winning the cup, are signs of the stars aligning. I have no shame in supporting this team, and I will not let the fear of being wrong shake my faith. The vancouver canucks are GREAT

[@talflick]

i love when nils hoglander scores because it means that I'll get to hear nuckhead scream "NILS "BIG HOG" HOGLANDER"

[@KStreetmafia]

I've lived in Colorado my whole life. Been a life long aves fan. That said, I couldn't be happier to see how well the Canucks are doing! I love watching Canucks games and I appreciate your videos.

[@jameskillbot2867]

Crazy. Van fan my whole life and I hate the avs! The rivalry from 2001-2004 was always so nail biting and intense. Always felt like the hardest games. I love sakic, forsberg, hejduk, Foote, bourque, taungay(sp) and many more though. They wernt dirty and I had and have massive respect.

[@MandatoryFruit]

As a fan of both the Pens, and the Canucks, that game was so much fun. It's nice when you really don't care who wins, but you're still invested in the game. Loved seeing Petey set a new record.

[@creatorTWin]

As a Canuck fan is was awesome to see Crosby battling like that for the win, amazing game.

[@SonOfTamriel]

@@creatorTWin as a pens fan he's the only one in the battle it seems. EK trying and doing well, you can see how much he respects Sid when they score. Shake'n'Jake getting the points but pretty much not noticeable out there

[@theshipscat3438]

that is why the canucks are winning. they are all solid players and every last one is giving it their all. the moment they get it in their heads that they are the best, they will get crushed. the pens were able to come back after a poor start. demco allowed the canucks to win the game. i am not deminishing what the team did but that game was far from a cake walk. @@SonOfTamriel

[@JonnL]

Two things I must mention about the last four games. It was probably the toughest stretch of games we have this year, 4 of the better/best teams in the east in 6 days, but despite that we trailed in score for a TOTAL of 53 seconds throughout ALL FOUR GAMES. This team is legit, The Vancouver Canucks are good

[@lawriedignan6794]

so many highs and lows since 1970 .. so many ... but this season, fans are smiling as much as the players are ! ... fun, fun, fun ! go CANUCKS go ! thanks for the coverage here nuckhead

these “NiLs bIg hOg hOgLaNdEr’s” are getting so good! 😂 You gotta make a compilation of these!! You didn’t say drop ur score predictions below but I’ll do it anyways, 6-3 nucks. GREEEEEEATTTT VID AS USUAL! I love watching the weekly Friday vid ❤

You have best Canucks game reviews. No, you actually have the best hockey game reviews out of all reviewers out there. And thanks for explaining what the lotto line is.

[@jonathanteppler7807]

I’m a NHL (and Canucks fan) since 2020 and living in Germany. Seeing the team develop and some of the players has been incredible. There is now a solid core and importantly, lines that can have genuine impact. Great to see Keep the content coming, it helps to navigate through the lack of live games due to the time difference

[@stevocanuck]

this is an impressive road trip so far. All against tough opponents, and 5 games in 8 nights is wild

A 15 minute video what a treat. Also neat little number for you: In 4 hours of road hockey the Canucks played, they've trailed for a total for 53 SECONDS.

Born in Buffalo. Been a Canucks fan since the 80s. I also love the Sabres since childhood. Born in the 70s. I'm going to the game with my daughter who is also a Canucks /Sabres fan. Looking forward to a good game . 4-2 Canucks is my prediction. The Vancouver Canucks are good!

The blown leads stat in interesting, too, because it shows that they always had scoring, just no poise or defense.

True!! This team was right under our noses all along 🫡

Honestly you have made the cunucks my second favorite team (besides the avalanche) so if the avalanche don’t win the cup, the cunucks better.

Im as casual as casual can be when it comes to NHL, last time I followed the sport was in 2011. Words spreading locally that Vancouver is doing well this season and they are getting a lot of support. Ofc when I glance at the NHL overall rankings, the BRUINS are at the top of the Atlantic Division.... Im getting PTSD

[@mambajuan]

I remember when I use to play be a gm mode a lot back in nhl 12-18 on xbox 360, I would use the allstar break as a check point date to assess my team. If my team had 30+ wins, i knew my team was top tier in the league. Canucks has 28 wins and has one of the easiest schedules ahead. This season feels like when you have a stacked be a gm mode team with 5-6 players in the 88-92 overall range. And your third line are like 84-82 overall range. It’s been so fun!

[@BerCanUSA]

This Canucks fan in Bermuda loves your videos! Highly entertaining! Keep them coming!

[@meticulousstressor4332]

The 'Nucks are killing it on this roadtrip- that Pens game was such a nail biter and Demon Demko made so many incredible saves to keep us in it. I'm loving the chemistry on the team and the lack of defeatist attitudes, it's so much fun to watch. Thanks for yet another amazing video, this channel is one of my favourites! Predicting a 3:0 win against the Sabres and a 4:1 win against the Blue Jackets!

hey nuckead, i’m from england and i got into the nhl at around 2021, and immediately loved the canucks due to silovs, the goaltender playing for my mum’s country, playing for abbersford. ive never been able to watch any games live due to not having the subscription, but now i can watch the game against the sabres tonight! thank you for keeping me updated with their games 🙏

I really want Canuck fans to stop with the silly white towels. It's just a symbol of failure at this point. If you want to make a positive psychological impact on your team that's the way to do it.

That Suter to Hoglander goal was much nicer than even this clip showed. Seconds before that, someone(I'm still unsure who, but maybe it was Suter) knocked an errant puck down in the neutral zone with some elite skill and kept the play moving with what was an extremely high skill play that he made look very casual and every day. then the actual goal and my jaw dropped. The Petey goal was some extreme solo skill, but the Hoggie goal impressed me more cuz it was born from the new identity this team has.
