Vancouver prevailed in five games with a double overtime goal scored by defenceman Kevin Bieksa in Game 5 in Vancouver to send the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in franchise history and the first time since 1994.http://espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=310524022 https://archive.today/20120711104901/http://espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=310524022 dead July 11, 2012 Canucks reach Stanley Cup Final after last-minute tie, bizarre 2OT winner May 24, 2011 ESPN June 2, 2011 They would face the third-seeded Boston Bruins after Boston defeated the fifth-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games in the Eastern Conference Final.Kerr 2011 144 The series began on June 1 with a 1–0 Canucks victory. Roberto Luongo picked up his third shutout of the playoffs while forward Raffi Torres scored the dramatic lone goal with 18.5 seconds remaining in the third period.Kerr 2011 148 However, after Game 1, the series became heated and physical, after Alexandre Burrows apparently bit the finger of Bruins' forward Patrice Bergeron during game one (after the incident was reviewed by the league Burrows was not suspended) and in Game 3, a hit by defenceman Aaron Rome left Bruins winger Nathan Horton concussed and unable to play for the rest of the series.Kerr 2011 166 Despite playing without Horton – one of the Bruins best goal scorers – for the final four games of the series, Boston was able to pick up their play and comeback to win the series in seven despite staking Vancouver leads of 2–0 and 3–2. It was Boston's first Stanley Cup victory in 39 years. The Canucks became the first team to lose in the Finals after winning the Presidents' Trophy since the Detroit Red Wings in 1995. The Canucks 54 wins was the most by a team that lost in the Stanley Cup Finals, surpassing the previous record of 53 by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1985 and 117 points was the most by a team that lost in the final, surpassing the previous record of 116 by the Flyers in 1980. Broadcast changes Television On July 28, 2010, the Vancouver Canucks announced a new partnership with Rogers Sportsnet One, a new national sports channel with regional broadcast capabilities. The new partnership included 13 additional games, on top of the 45 on Rogers Sportsnet Pacific, to be shown thus eliminating Canucks TV Pay-Per-View. In addition, CBC Hockey Night in Canada announced that it would once again be showing 14 games nationally while TSN would show 10 games. Radio Also on July 28, 2010, Tom Larscheid announced that he would be retiring at the start of the season. His final radio call was during the Vancouver Canucks season opener against the Los Angeles Kings on October 9. He spent 33 years as the colour commentator for the Vancouver Canucks and was replaced by Dave Tomlinson.Macintyre Ian Tom Larscheid leaving Canucks' broadcast booth https://vancouversun.com/Larscheid+leaving+Canucks+broadcast+booth/3335049/story.html Vancouver Sun July 28, 2010 August 30, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100903063434/http://www.vancouversun.com/Larscheid%2Bleaving%2BCanucks%2Bbroadcast%2Bbooth/3335049/story.html September 3, 2010 dead mdy-all Schedule and results Pre-season 2010 pre-season game log: 3–5–0 (Home: 2–2–0;
