From 5-2 to 5-5! Then, 5-6! The journey of the Vancouver Canucks against the top NHL team Dallas Stars - is one for the history books. How could that have happened? Without Jonathan Tanner Miller. Without Elias Pettersson!
“It’s crazy, the resilience. I have never been a part of a team that has so many crazy comebacks. And so much roller coaster come-from-behinds. It says a lot about the group and the quality of the players. When adversity hits, we just dig in, and guys are able to execute and make stuff happen. Fresh slate come two days in Colorado. We’ll feel good about this, but then we’ve got to move on and start to prepare for the next one. We know each and every game is crucial right now.” shared American professional ice hockey right winger for the Vancouver Canucks, Kiefer Sherwood with NHL.com.
“The no-quit attitude,” inspired by Jonathan Tanner Miller, stays in the Vancouver Canucks team even today
“That was probably the most fun win I have been a part of for a while now. I think it really speaks to the testament of our team and the no-quit attitude. It shows the type of people we have in the locker room as well as the players. For me, it felt like my play dipped in the second period, and guys are helping me out on the ice and the bench. It makes me feel better, and just trying to bring up my energy for the team. It’s really fun to be a part of.” shared 22 YO American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Vancouver Canucks, Victor Mancini.
This no-quit attitude comes from a former Vancouver Canucks’ ice hockey forward, J. T. Miller. Jonathan Tanner Miller was with the Vancouver Canucks from June 2019 to January 2025. J. T. Miller has had a lot of fierce energy for ice hockey coupled with a no-quit attitude. Miller refused to give up on tough situations. He instilled his prime qualities into his teammates and served as the best example to follow! That’s precisely what J. T. Miller’s former Vancouver Canucks teammates did in the game against the Dallas Stars. They showed their true selves. They came out of the 6 losses in the past 10 games and surprised everyone!
Vancouver Canucks defeated the top contender, the Dallas Stars, in a dramatic fashion

The 3 goals brought their total from 5-2 to 5-5. The game then went into overtime. The winning goal was scored by the American professional ice hockey right winger for the Vancouver Canucks, Kiefer Sherwood, at 3:44 of overtime! Leaving an unforgettable night for the Vancouver Canucks.
