It’s been a long, long time since you could mention the Vancouver Canucks and “playoffs” in the same sentence. And yet, here we are.

Vancouver might not have turned many heads in their two visits to SAP Center last year, but this time there’s reason to expect a real battle when the blue and green come to town.
