Show Notes

For the week of June 13, 2021: 

It was the year after the Vancouver Olympics and the city was on a high.

The Vancouver Canucks had home ice advantage in the 2011 Stanley Cup final. The Boston Bruins would be a formidable opponent in a rough series that saw the home team win through the first six.

The dream of winning Game 7 at home turned to nightmare. The Canucks folded 4-0 and a riot broke out just up the street from Rogers Arena.

On this edition of theBreaker.news Podcast, hear highlights of Bob Mackin’s 2012 documentary on June 15, 2011, the night most Vancouverites wish they could forget.

Plus Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
