The 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks season was the 41st in franchise history. The Vancouver Canucks won the Northwest division for the fifth time, the conference championship for the third time, and the Presidents' Trophy for the first time. It was also their first 100-point season since 2002-03 when they finished with 103 points. The Canucks began their campaign on October 8, 2010 against the Anaheim Ducks. They played 19 games before taking a break for the NHL Winter Classic on January 1, 2011 against the New York Rangers at BC Place. The game was won by the Rangers 3-2 in overtime thanks to an amazing goal by Ryan McDonagh. After the break, the Canucks returned on March 2 against the Calgary Flames and ended their regular season on April 9 against the San Jose Sharks. In five seasons under coach Mike Gillis, the Canucks had never finished higher than second in the Pacific Division. However, in the opening month of the 2010-11 season it looked like they might be able to finish first in their division for the first time in team history. Veteran center Henrik Sedin led all scorers with 105 points while rookie sensation Daniel Sedin was right behind him with 104 points of his own. Both players were named as finalists for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy which is given to the player who exhibits the most skill and sportsmanship during the regular season.
