Remember back when these two teams were bitter rivals 7,8 years ago. Those were really good times as the Chicago Blackhawks were trying to climb into the NHL elite by beating Roberto Luongo and Ryan Kesler and the Twins. These were some of the best playoff series that I can remember that made a team a rival.
Well, sadly those days are long gone with the Canucks having fallen on hard times and haven’t made the playoffs in a few seasons now. They are currently 6 points out of the playoff race, but their goal differential of -23 suggests they aren’t in the race at all this season.
