FWIW, both cities (Van and Calgary) have one cup. But what I don't understand is why Oilers fans are always able to refrain from living in the past even though they had dynasty teams and many Stanley Cups but Flames fans always have to go back and live in 1989??? Rare to hear the Oil throw their 5 cups in other teams face and even rarer to hear Habs fans back up loosing with "...yeah but we have 24 Stanley cups what about you?" LOL.
The Canucks didn't even come close to deserving to win this series and the best team by far won. I just hope we can finally rebuild!
Many free agents, let them go! Start young. Build a team around Hodgson, Kesler, Burrows, Edler, Bieksa and a few of the veterans like Mitchell and maybe the Sedins if they take a discount to stay (pretty sure they are gone though). Trade Luongo (to the East hopefully) for a YOUNG star forward (few of the Lightening kids come to mind) now if you can because otherwise he's probably gone for nothing after next season. Oh yeah, and new coach! the nucks were really out coached big time. Laviolette comes to mind.
