Non-Tanking News! 2 More Gratuitous Points!

Good news... Canucks WIN a game! 2nd win in a row! It's a WIN STREAK! Wooooooooooo!!!

Here's what we learned:

Who woulda thought the Nucks having won in Lanky time, would fluck the Ducks too?

Winning both games of a road B-2-B?! Incredible.

First 2 game win streak of 2026. In April. Canucks peaking at just the right time.

Exciting!

The #Canucks put a dent in two division rivals playoff hopes by picking up back-to-back winners for the first time in 2026 thanks to one of the hottest power plays in the league despite Vancouver already securing 32nd place.

Tanks off For The Summer!

Period 1

The Ducks were primed to secure their playoff spot with a win. Canucks were primed to Nuck the Ducks.

Goonass put a nasty (allegedly clean) open ice hit on Ohgren - or Ohgroan in the moment. Immediately Teddy steps up to the goon and crosschecks him. The goon doesn't want to fight. Yet. Teddy to the box.

Just as the penalty expires the Ducklings score.

Doesn't matter.

Mueller gets through center ice, over the blueline, crosses to the middle drops for Kudryavtsev, who put a puck on net. Douglas is first on the rebound and pots his 1st Canucks goal, his 1st NHL goal!

Douglas F, F, Fir First! @ralphintheridge.bsky.social #canucks

Genuinely one of the best highlights of the #Canucks season seeing Douglas get first career goal.

— Daniel Fung (@danielfung.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 5:32 PM

And big mean Nucks are just getting started. Minute later, Goonass finally drops the gloves. With Teddy!

Blueger doesn't aim low, taking on Gudas! Didn't wait for Douglas to take that, either.

-- Thursday

A Curtis Douglas goal and a Teddy Blueger fight all in the span of a few minutes. And some people say #Canucks hockey is not fun.

— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 5:40 PM

#Canucks I love Blueger’s fighting spirit but a go fund me page is required to get him some fight survival skills from Tiger Williams.

— JDavid (@jdavidh.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 5:41 PM

Meanwhile back on the PP, DeNucks score from DeWicked tip. Debrusk up to 21 goals. 18 on the PP!

We're just gonna give DeBrusk two-minute shifts now, aren't we? Or however long the power plays last.

-- Thursday

Looking for the Howe hattie, Douglas fights Viel. And pretty much won.

Nucks lead 2-1 after 1. Outshooting the home fowl 10-9.

Right, then! Clearly, we need to get DeBrusk out there on a line with Curtis Douglas for the power play. Go for that Gordie Howe! #Canucks

Period 2

This was a classic Sutherland reffed period. No penalties called.

Neither Nucks nor fowl score.

The #canucks look like the better team right now. How is that possible if you’re the worst team in the league? It’s a mystery. 🤷‍♂️

In a year where nothing has made sense beating a team on the road that is trying to win the division makes all the sense in the world. I think?

— DJTaxman77 (@taxman77.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 6:42 PM

Canucks are keeping the Ducks off the scorecard. In a 2nd period!

Wooooooooo! #Canucks make it through another 2nd period while preserving the tie +1.

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 6:48 PM

Period 3

Nucks still leading 2-1 after 2. And now to start the 3rd.

With Sutherland not doing his job, A big Duck runs over Tolo in his crease. To take a shortcut to get to the puck on the boards? What?!!

Tolo gets bowled over, no call. Sutherland rules, ue #Canucks.

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:13 PM

Then things take a Nucking turn. Nucks looking like a team that played the night before. Getting a hemmed in a bit. DOC takes a call for Delay of Game. Sutherland could see that, huh?

Anyhow on the PK, Bess steals the puck and skates down on Downstall and pots a shortie up high.

Brock Boeser had the answer for the absurd non-call. Fucking rights! #Canucks

— CrankyCanucksFan 🇨🇦🏒 (@crankycanucksfan.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:16 PM

Nucks leading 3-1. That 3rd goal is quite important.

Flucking Ducks finish their interrupted PP by scoring. It's 3-2 in the Disney Center for Annoying Fans.

Worse, under more Ducking pressure, Ronnie - who wasn't having a good game - hammers the puck from behind his net for the clear. Except it bounces off the glass weirdly. Gets out front. And faster than you can say Fluck A Duck, it's tied.

#Canucks looking a bit tired in their own end and ooopsies happen. Tie is back on the menu.

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:23 PM

Also... no need to fact check the worst team in the league is there?

The #Canucks recorded 10 shots in the first period. They then record a total of 9 over the next 40 minutes.

— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:43 PM

Just like last game last night... We're going to OT.

OT

The usual puck-ragging happens. Fowllings win the FO and get possession for the first bit. However, Nucks regain the puck and DOC draws a call.

It's Nucks 4-on-3 PP time!

Nucks 1st unit is looking good. Downstall is looking better. Duckings are getting their stick broken, but Nucks can't get a goal. Until the 2nd unit gets to work. With mere seconds left.

Öhgren to Zeev to Rossi to Zeev to Rossi shooting. And scoring! Woooooooo!

W00T! ROSSI ENDS IT!

The Minnesota Trio gets the goal: Rossi from Buium and Öhgren.

-- Thursday

MarcOT-GOAL Rossi! #Canucks

— Ryan avgtraveller (@viewfromtherog.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:52 PM

Fuck the Ducks - WOOOO #Canucks!!!!!

— CrankyCanucksFan 🇨🇦🏒 (@crankycanucksfan.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:53 PM

That was GLORIOUS!!!!! Yippee! Fun? Wow! #canucks

— 🇨🇦 BiPolar Guide 🇨🇦 pronouns: who, whom, whoever, whomever. (@bipolarguide.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:53 PM

WOOOOOOOOO! ROSSI WINS It For #Canucks with mere or mouse seconds to spare!

Great Nucking game. At just the right time of the season! 2 Game Win streak! Plan the Parade!

We took a game to OT at least twice and win both of them. That is so #Canucks

— Atinna Gunawan (@atinnag.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:53 PM

OBSERVATIONS:

After the beautiful Lanky time win last night, we didn't need to spoil the Ducklings hopes. But it was fun to see.

Players of Interest:

• Rossi with the GWG and a PP point.
• Ronnie was exhausted after last game - had 3 d-zone giveaways.
• Douglas getting his 1st NHL goal.
  

Getting spoiled?

Sweet . Our new mission is to try and mess up chances for other teams to get into the playoffs., and we’re good at it. Well done boys. #canucks

— Terry & dog 🦮...🇨🇦🍁 (@aweebitdaft.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:54 PM

Dinner at the Blue Bayou for these guys. Gutsy four points on a back-to-back AND they keep the Ducks from clinching tonight. Great work. #Canucks

— Lachlan Irvine (@lachinthecrease.com) April 12, 2026 at 7:54 PM

Sweet!! The tanked team making sure that other teams really really earn their playoff spots!! Boeser is really stepping up this year. 💙💚🏒🎉🥰 #Canucks

— 🇨🇦Cathy Canucks(🇬🇱🇺🇦) (@cathyrd.bsky.social) April 12, 2026 at 7:54 PM

Gutsy win at a critical point in the season.

The Minnesota Trio ends the game for Vancouver: Rossi from Buium and Öhgren. #Canucks win two in a row for the first time since December. W00T!

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Shortie and Dave in the Duck pond.

Full OT Glory.

GAME STATS

COMMENTING OUT LOUD

Teddy the Fighter.

Footey with his 3rd last presser? More points for those predicting the 'resilient' keyword.

What a fun game! What a great road trip! Other than how it started.

Couldn't have a happier ending in a Disney hockey flic.

Nucks back in the ROG on Tuesday for their last home game of the season. Which isn't fair. We won 2 games! In a row!
