I have to drag this off topic...
It's really just as simple as
Boston=good
Vancouver=no good
Proven on February 24th, 1987 when the Flames beat the Canucks 2-0 thanks to two first period goals 1:06 apart by Steve Bozek and Joe Mullen. Lemlin stopped all 33 shots from the Cam Neely-less Vancouver Canucks. A team that finished 19th in a 21 team league.
As it turned out trading Neely with their next first round pick for Barry Pederson was just no good. That #3 overall pick ended up being the solid but not spectacular Glen Wesley who went on to play 1457 games as a third overall pick.
