The Vancouver Canucks faced the New York Rangers in the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. The Canucks would eventually lose in 6 games, sparking riots in Vancouver.
No, it is only possible for a team in the West Division to play a team in the East Division in the Stanley Cup final and since both the Canucks and the Red Wings are in the West, they cannot play each other for the Stanley Cup. However, the Canucks can play the Red Wings in the Western final, which decides which team from the west will play in the Stanley Cup final.
Vancouver Canucks have made it to the Final three times, but failed to win the Stanley Cup. However, prior to the formation of the NHL, when the Stanley Cup was a challenge trophy, it was won by the Vancouver Millionaires way back in 1914/15.
Canucks have made the final twice: A) in 1982 against the New York Islanders (lost the series) B) in 1994 against the New York Rangers (lost the series) Many so-called experts are predicting that the Canucks will have a great chance of going to the final in the coming 2010/11 season.
The Vancouver Canucks won the 1998 Stanley Cup as they swept the Washington Capitals 4-0 and beat them 5-2 in the final game.
Well all NHL teams from the US and Canada compete in the semi-finals for the two teams who play for the Stanley Cup.2010 final teams were the Philadelphia Flyers and the Chicago Blackhawks.The Blackhawks won.
Yes, the Boston Bruins won the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals in 7 games, with the final game being in Vancouver against the Canucks.
As I write this, it is Thursday, June 16, 2011. Last night the Bruins won the Cup by defeating the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 in Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final!!!
Stanley Cup Final Game 7- Canucks lose 3-2 in overtime (i think) to the New York Islanders. Trevor Linden scored 2 goals. It wasn't the biggest goal margin, but it was the most devastating loss (if your're a canucks fan)
Each of the two teams has made the finals multiple times before, but they never faced each other until 2011.
4 to 3 New York Rangers vs the Vancouver Canucks
3 times last year was the most recent
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.
