Vancouver Canucks fans are about to be treated to real playoff hockey for the first time since 2015. Fans got to experience a taste of it during this play-in series with the Wild but the real fun is only just starting to begin. The Canucks will face off against the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in the opening round beginning on Wednesday night.
After losing game one, the Canucks managed to win three consecutive hard-fought games against the Minnesota Wild to reach this position. It was the first post-season experience for this highly touted your core that Vancouver now has and it was the largest test they have faced so far in their young careers.
