A deafening roar exploded from the fan zones in downtown Vancouver Friday night as the final buzzer sounded, signalling the Canucks' third win in the Stanley Cup final.

Ecstatic fans poured out of Rogers Arena in a sea of blue Canucks sweaters, joining tens of thousands that had gathered in the zones, where the huge crowd watched the game on three giant video screens.

Unlike the games Monday and Wednesday -- both losses, which saw shocked supporters leave the downtown area quickly and quietly -- they stuck around to whoop it up Friday and savour the tightly fought 1-0 victory together.

The win boosted the home team to a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series
