The Vancouver Canucks stunned the Edmonton Oilers win a massive comeback win in Game 1 of the second round of the playoffs on Wednesday night.
They trailed 4-1, and came all the way back with Dakota Joshua in having a big night, scoring the game-winning goal and posting three points.
Captain Quinn Hughes touched on this thrilling comeback victory following the game, and emphasized the impact of one specific person within the organization � head coach Rick Tocchet.
It started in September, it started last year in trying to get us to believe and kind of get the stink that was out of here.
� Quinn Hughes, Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks had missed the playoffs in three straight seasons but managed to clinch first place in the Pacific Division this season as several of their players had career years such as Hughes, JT Miller, and Brock Boeser. Tocchet finds himself nominated for the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's top coach.
Arturs Silovs secured his second consecutive win as the team moved one game closer to seeing their starting netminder Thatcher Demko return.
The Canucks will face the Oilers for Game 2 at Rogers Arena on Friday, before they will cross the BC border into Alberta for Games 3 and 4.
