Rob made his National Hockey League debut on December 1, 2005, at Rexall Place in Edmonton. With Vancouver's Dan Cloutier sidelined by injury, Rob was recalled from AHL Manitoba to back up Alex Auld. Late in the game, with the Canucks trailing the Oilers, 5-2, Auld was replaced by McVicar. McVicar didn't face a shot before being pulled for an extra skater, but Vancouver did close the gap to 5-3 before losing.
