The Nucks got through the first round on a combination of Markstrom entering god mode and Binnington regressing to AHL mode. They are in tough now that the goaltending matchup is a wash.
Yeah I hate the Canucks but it didn't really develop until the 00s starting with that annoying Naslund, Bertuzzi, Kesler, Cooke, and Jovanovski team, including the epic 04 series, and culminating in their idiot fans rioting.
I will admit I cheered for them in the 1994 finals despite the heartbreak they had previously caused me. I appreciated their underdog status, loved Bure as a player, and thought they were a better alternative than Messier and all those ex-Oilers getting another Cup.
