Well, yes, Vancouver does have one cup. The Millionaires. 1915. Heck, even Victoria has one. The Cougars. 1925. The question asked was how many have the (Ca)nucks won. The answer to which all Albertans know is zero.

Perhaps because one is just slightly better than none, whereas with Edmonton having 5, there is less of a comparison.

Gotta disagree on trading Luongo. At least, not yet. Remember Cloutier? I think they should hang on to Lou.

What frustrates me is they seem to struggle year after year to build a legitimate "Okay, this a definite cup contender team. This is the team to beat." '82?...okay...kind of a fluke. '94?...came so close. A few years ago? Wasn't that a 105 point regular season? What happened? This year? This young Blackhawk team comes out of nowhere and becomes a better team so quickly. How'd they do that? The draft?

But I digress, as I have not followed the game closely enough in recent years to know, or even pretend to know, what the answers are. I suppose, too, that patience is a virtue. Apparently, some "in the know" picked the Canucks to not even make the playoffs this year. Just, that patience is running thin and I, as I'm sure others, are not getting any younger. I'm beginning to understand what it feels like to be a Cubs fan. I used to go to Canuck games as a kid in the early years of the 70s. Cheap seats in the nosebleeds with tickets from the Royal Bank. I'd like to see them win the damn thing at least once in my lifetime. And yes, I know that the Hawks have not won the cup since '61. Good luck to them.

I just cant believe that you used the word digress when talking about hockey. You win

Well I guess having won 5 cups is worth mentioning for an oilers fan....I'm sure it makes them feel better to think that when they are watchng 16 other teams make the playoffs!!!
At least over the last 20 years the nucks have made the playoffs on a consistant basis....It would be great to win the cup for sure.

If I where a flames fan I would be embarrased to have my team only win 3 series since they won the cup...whats even more funny is the fact that they won all 3 in the same year....lol

Dont get to carried away guys. Mine was meant as a joke but I have seen these threads get goofy. Plus I can remember the great Boston/ Montreal rivals and where I was always on the receiving end being a Bruins fan. Darn near ended in fights several times.

Dont want to .......


On another note , Glad the Bruins made it to game 7. What a cheap shot sucker punch though and of course Campell does dick. Great job bud.....NOT.

Cant believe the Ducks took the Wings down last night either. Home they win at home, although not totally against Ducks moving on. Good bunch of Canadian boys and would be a good series with the Hawks.

I like Hawks versus Ducks

and

Bruins versus Capitals

with a Hawks/ Capitals finals......

+1 to the Hawks/Capitals cup final....that'd be a great series

This is what I was hoping for! Would have been incredible I think.

It's all about the Hawks for me now...

Maybe Hawks/Pens. Two young, fast teams. Lots of scoring.
