Vancouver Canucks fans were overjoyed as they celebrated their team advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
People across the city took to the streets to celebrate the Pacific Division champions moving on in the playoffs after a 1-0 shutout win over the Nashville Predators.
Despite the elimination game being more than 3,000 kilometers away, Rogers Arena was packed with more than 18,000 fans. The place went crazy as the game clock ticked down to zero.

Chants of “SIL-OVS, SIL-OVS” rained down after 23-year-old goalie Arturs Silovs pitched a shutout to clinch the game for the Canucks.
The Latvian got selected for the pressure start and was perfect as he stopped all 28 shots that came his way.

The street was filled with fans cheering together. It’s been more than a decade since Canucks fans could celebrate a playoff series victory without the impact of a global pandemic.

On a night like tonight, Canucks fans showed the power of what a Canadian market looks like at its best.
The Canucks face off against the Edmonton Oilers in the next round, a team that they beat in all four contests played during the regular season.
