These towels are from the 2009 Playoffs. In the Western Quarter-Finals, the Canucks played the St. Louis Blues. The Canucks would sweep the Blues in four games, the sweep being completed by an OT goal by Alex Burrows late in overtime. The Canucks advanced to the Western Semi-Finals to face the Chicago Blackhawks. The Canucks and Hawks would trade wins in the first four games, before Chicago took over in the last two games to win the series 4 games to 2.
This towel was a special edition towel that could only be purchased at Save-On-Foods during the Playoffs. It only has one logo for Save-On-Foods Pharmacy and has a Canucks stripe pattern on the bottom and reads "We Are All Canucks" in the lower right hand corner.
This towel was the first of the in-game towels that were placed on seats at then-called General Motors Place, and were most likely used during the Western Quarter-Finals versus the Blues. The Save-On-Foods Pharmacy logo is in the same spot as the other towels from this year. The first row has logos for Sports-Action and Global BC, and the bottom row has sponsors Team 1040, The Beat 94.5, and The Province.
This second in-game towel was most likely used during the Western Semi-Finals against Chicago. The only difference between this towel and the first in-game towel is that this towel has an ad for ClearlyContacts.ca in the middle of the first row.
