The Vancouver Canucks unveiled the debut of a new playoff tradition after a thrilling Game 1 win back last night against the Nashville Predators.
The team has created a Stanley Cup-style victory tracker to commemorate their victories as they make their way through this year’s playoffs, the Canucks’ first COVID-free postseason since 2015.
The Stanley Cup tracker has room for 16 pucks, one for each victory needed on the journey to capture the sport’s ultimate trophy. The player of the game, after each victory, gets to place a puck in an empty slot.
Winger Dakota Joshua earned the honor of inserting the first puck after a huge performance in Game 1.
“We’re going to start a little tradition here, 16 pucks, 16 wins,” explained captain Quinn Hughes after the team’s big comeback win for Game 1.[Could] give it to Demmer, he made some big saves, Lindy, way to get us going, but this is going to Playoff D!”

“One from 16, let’s f**king go,” Joshua said as he placed the puck in the tracker.
The power forward deserved the honor as he scored twice, including the game winner, and added an assist in the Game 1 win. Thatcher Demko and Elias Lindholm also had big games, as Hughes alluded to in his little speech before selecting the winger as player of the game.
Joshua’s contributions helped the Canucks take a 1-0 series lead on a truly special night at Rogers Arena. The crowd was the loudest it had been for years.
The team will have a chance to add another puck to the Stanley Cup tracker tomorrow night when they take on the Predators in Game 2. The puck drops at 7 pm PT.
