REMINISCING | May 18th 2011: Special anniversary for the Canucks and Kevin Bieksa

Surely a defenceman that marked the Canucks' history, Kevin Bieksa had himself quite the night in this one since the beloved veteran had then registered a ‘Gordie Howe Hat-Trick'.

Proceeded to collect an assist to cap it off into the 3rd period when Chris Higgins scored on the power play. Canucks had then taken a 2-0 lead, they ended up winning this series in 5 games buying their way to the Final where they ultimately lost to the Boston Bruins in 7.
