Day Twenty Seven: Vancouver

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Vancouver Canucks
Formerly/aka N/A
Founded in 1945 (PCHL), joined WHL 1952, joined NHL 1970
Stanley Cups: 0
Original Six Status: No

The Vancouver Canucks joined the NHL in 1970 with the Buffalo Sabres.  Fast forward 40 years later, the Canucks are currently the only Western Conference team to clinch a playoff berth and have finally reached a 50 win season.  Needless to say, they have a strong chance at winning the Stanley Cup this season. With their last finals appearance back in the 1993-1994 season and Roberto Luongo tending the net and the Sedin twins and Ryan Kesler dominating the ice, the Canucks are primed to bring home the Stanley Cup this season.

Fun Fact: The Canucks fans are awesome at supporting their team when they are doing good (like this season).  Real Canucks’ Fact: The 1997-1998 Canucks were the last NHL team to surpass 2000 penalty minutes in a season.

Notable Players:
