Vancouver Canucks 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Betting
There was plenty of skepticism when Rick Tocchet took over as head coach of the Vancouver Canucks midway through last season. Tocchet replaced the popular Bruce McNall, who had success in 2022 but could not sustain it the following campaign. Tocchet has confounded his critics with an impressive campaign. Vancouver contended for the top seed of the Western Conference Playoffs for most of the year. Vancouver is one of the teams that gamblers are focusing on for the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And Tocchet is a top tier favorite for the Jack Adams Award (Coach of the Year).

Vancouver Canucks History
Born in 1970 with the Buffalo Sabres in the second wave of the NHL Great Expansion, the Vancouver Canucks are still searching for their first Stanley Cup championship. The Canucks have made the Stanley Cup Final three times (1982, 1994, and 2011) but never finished.
Although the Canucks have had some good eras in their history, they have often lacked an identity. Over the years, Vancouver has had numerous logos, colors, and uniform changes. Vancouver fans have a fickle relationship with the team. In good times they will pack Rogers Arena. And they cared enough to riot after losing game seven of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final to the Boston Bruins.
But when times aren’t so good, they are not inclined to fork over big-ticket prices and instead prefer to spend more of their time and less of their money on the many diversions that the Pacific city of Vancouver has to offer.
Past superstars of the Canucks include Henrik and Daniel Sedin, the identical twins from Sweden. Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure, Kirk McLean, Roberto Luongo, Don Lever, Dennis Ververgaert, Harold Snepsts, and Chris Oddleifson are other revered figures in Canucks’ history.
The 2021-22 season gave Canucks fans and gamblers reason to believe in the future. Following an 8-15-2 start, Bruce Boudreau took over as the Canucks head coach. Boudreau nearly got the Canucks into the playoffs with a record of 35-15-10. Boudreau reminded everyone why he is one of the great turnaround artists in the NHL.
