Fans take to B.C. streets as Canucks advance to 2nd round of playoffs

Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 in Game 6

Canucks fans took over the Surrey-North Delta border Friday to celebrate their team advancing to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The area around Scott Road and 72 Avenue was filled with fans May 3 after the Vancouver Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 1-0 in Game 6. The main celebration was at the major intersection, but fans celebrated up and down Scott Road.

Elsewhere, fans took to an Abbotsford street to also celebrate the win.

Fans lined South Fraser Way, along Gladwin Road, with Abbotsford police directed traffic.

Pius Suter scored with 1:39 left in Vancouver’s Friday night Game 6 win.

The Canucks will play the Edmonton Oilers in the second round.

The Canucks and Oilers have not met in the playoffs since 1992 when Edmonton won the second-round series in six games.
