“You have the whole team come in and buy in getting the summer over a month earlier than normal. You put the work in and really come together. It’s certainly part of the process. We played a lot of good hockey this year and we should be proud,” J.T. Miller on the Canucks 50-win season. Vancouver Canucks photo

“If you want to climb a mountain, don’t look at the peak. Look at your next step,” – Unknown.

It’s been quite the turnaround for the Vancouver Canucks.

Last year at this time, Canuck Nation was fuming because of the team’s strong finish which took them out of the Connor Bedard sweepstakes

One year later and it’s an entirely different story.

With Tuesday’s 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames at Rogers Arena, the Canucks clinched the Pacific Division title and became only the third Canuck team to have won 50 games or more joining the 2010-11 and 2011-12 entries.
