Vancouver Police releases statement after Canucks lose Game 7

Heading into Game 7, many fans hoped for a tight contest, but the Oilers quickly took control and never looked back.

The Canucks did make a push in the third period with two quick goals, making things interesting. However, that's where the comeback ended as the Oilers secured the win and their spot in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, there was concern about potential riots in Vancouver, a reaction seen in past years after big losses. One account on X even posted a video claiming riots had started, but the Vancouver Police Department confirmed the video was not from Vancouver.

Then a fan doubled down on the video, only to be shut down again.

While it's frustrating for Canucks fans to see their team out of the playoffs, the lack of riots is a positive sign. The hockey community expected unrest, so the calm response suggests progress for Vancouver.

The Edmonton Oilers will now face the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Finals. As for the Canucks, their focus will shift to getting their stars healthy and preparing for next season.
