Vancouver BC's NHL franchise established in 1970. Since their inception in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks have had more ups and downs than most NHL franchises, but their fan base remains strong through thick and thin. From 1970-1995 they played in the (PNE) Pacific Coliseum and from 1995-Present they have been playing at General Motors Place.
Although they have had many underwhelming seasons, the Canucks have made it to the Stanley Cup Finals on two occasions. Once during the 1981/1982 season and more recently during the 1993/1994 season. Ironically enough on both occasions they lost in the finals to a New York team (in 1982 they were swept in four games by The New York Islanders and in 1994 they had a dramatic and intense seven game series against the New York Rangers).
The Canucks were a dominant force in the NHL for most of the early 1990s and for the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 regular seasons, they were arguably the best team in the NHL.
