These two organizations are not related. The Vancouver Millionaires existed from 1911 to 1926, competing in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and Western Canada Hockey League. The team was called the Vancouver Maroons from 1922 to 1926. The Vancouver Canucks were formed in 1945 and played in two minor leagues until 1970: Pacific Coast Hockey League and Western Hockey League. The Canucks joined the NHL in the 1970 expansion.
In Game 1 of the 2011 Western Conference Quarterfinals series against the Chicago Blackhawks, Chris Higgins scored the first goal of the playoffs for the Canucks. His goal was the game winner in a 2-0 victory.
In order, beat the Vancouver Canucks in a 4-2 series, St. Louis Blues in a 4-1 series, Colorado Avalanche in a 4-3 series, and the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-1 series.
How can they always be losing if they made it to the Stanley Cup finals? As of June 1, 2011, they are leading the series 1-0 against Boston. (So, maybe 'always' is too strong of a word.) Go Canucks!
Vancouver has never won the Stanley Cup in the modern era since joining the NHL in 1970. A Vancouver team called the Millionaires won the Cup during 1914/15 season, before the NHL was formed.
