The Vancouver Canucks and Minnesota Wild have gone in completely different directions since NHL realignment for the 2013-14 season broke up the Northwest Division — and essentially the rivalry between these two.
During their rivalry days, the Canucks won seven the Northwest Division seven times between 2004 and 2013. That included Presidents’ Trophies in 2011 and 2012, and of course a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in the former year.
Meanwhile, the Wild defined mediocrity by making the playoffs just three times between 2004 and 2013. They didn’t win a single postseason series and were quite an afterthought.
