The 2005–06 Vancouver Canucks season was the Canucks' 36th NHL season.

Contents

In the first season after the lockout, the Canucks were expected to fare as well, if not better, than the previous season, where they captured the Northwest Division title. However, as the season went along, several key players were hampered by injuries and the team failed to meet expectations, ultimately missing the playoffs. As a result, coach Marc Crawford was fired, and the team underwent numerous changes over the summer.
