What the team has not done is win the Stanley Cup, a gap that three finals have not closed: 1982 against the New York Islanders, 1994 against the New York Rangers, and 2011 against the Boston Bruins, the closest of the three, decided in seven games in which Vancouver managed only eight goals across the series.
The Canucks topped the regular-season standings and took the Presidents' Trophy, a feat they repeated the following year, 2012, the only two times the franchise has finished with the league's best record.
The team traces its NHL history to an expansion fee of $6 million paid in 1970, and the first game that followed set the tone for a franchise still chasing its first title: a 3–1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on October 9, 1970, with Barry Wilkins scoring the goal that opened the club's account. Rogers Arena has been the home end of that story since, holding 18,871 for hockey.
Three Stanley Cup Finals, zero championships.
