The 2011–12 Vancouver Canucks season was the 42nd season in the modern Canucks history. The Vancouver Canucks were the defending Western Conference champions and three time defending Northwest Division champions. The Canucks opened the regular season against the Pittsburgh Penguins at home on October 6, 2011. Their final regular season game was held at Rogers Arena against the Edmonton Oilers on April 7, 2012. The Canucks entered the season expected to again contend for their first ever Stanley Cup after coming one win short from winning it the previous season and maintaining the majority of the players from the previous season on the roster. The Canucks struggled out of the gate, hovering around .500 until roughly the 20-game mark due to weak defensive play and a slow start from starting goaltender Roberto Luongo. The Canucks then recovered by the 20th game on November 20 against the Ottawa Senators (where they defeated the Senators 2–1) and would go on to play their best hockey of the season from that day until the end of February. The team dominated much like they did the season prior during this stretch from late-November to late-February, as goals came in bunches and the offense was backed up by strong goaltending from the tandem of Luongo and backup goaltender Cory Schneider. The peak of the Canucks' season came on January 7, 2012, in the 42nd game of the season which came against the Boston Bruins, a rematch of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. The Canucks prevailed 4–3 in a fight-filled game with a hard-fought playoff atmosphere, and they seemed to state to the hockey world that they would be heard from again come playoff time if they were to meet in the Stanley Cup Finals again. Despite their continuation of winning lengthy stretches of games within the last several weeks from early-March to early-April, the team did not play with the same heart they played with earlier in the season as they often played down to their competition by barely beating some of the weakest teams in the league and even lost games they had little business losing as the offense seemed to disappear and the team was lucky to have maintained outstanding goaltending and defense that kept them in games and eventually leading them to their second consecutive Presidents' Trophy and second Presidents' Trophy in franchise history altogether on the final day of the season on April 7, when they defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3–0 and the top seeded Eastern Conference team New York Rangers lost their season finale the same day 4–1 against the Washington Capitals, ending their season with 109 points in the standings, two points behind the Canucks 111 points. Despite entering the 2012 playoffs as the top seed in the Western Conference for the second year in a row and the back-to-back Presidents' Trophy winners, the Canucks were upset in the first round in five games by the eight-seeded Los Angeles Kings, who would eventually go on to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history as
