Don't like the Canucks chances tonight, Chicago's best players in their top six are playing better than Vancouver's. Thus far this year that is.

Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Bolland > Daniel, Henrik, Raymond, Kassian, Burrows

That said, should still be in for an entertaining game as there's some history there. Look for the Sedin's to be fired up as this may be somewhat personal. Go Nucks!!

If the sedins get points we win, if they don't we lose you can quote me.

Seeing Canucks own the rights to the Millionaires ,I hope Gillis hangs a cup banner from the rafters and it has another flag attatched saying "If Toronto think they won a cup so ,can we "
- VANTEL

Want to play that game?

Toronto Blueshirts: 1914 Stanley Cup Champions.

And I won't even get into the 1908 Toronto Trolley Dodgers - I can't believe they lost 6-4 to the Montreal Wanderers.

Yeah, it still stings.

And on a serious historical note, what exactly do you mean by "they own the rights?"

Are we just talking use of the logo?

It always irked me that the league doesn't consider the Senators to be the same franchise. It would have been so easy: the original Sens were moved to St. Louis, where they played for 1 season as the Eagles, before the league assumed them (the original Coyotes!) and folded them.

Would it really have been so hard for the league to sell the franchise back to the original owners, and call it the same franchise?

Sheesh.

Canucks should easily win this one. The Hawks are not what they used to be. Sedins and Kassian are good for a few goals and I expect Garrison's hot streak to continue. Luongo is showing everyone that despite the distractions he is still one of, if not the best goalie in the league.

Canucks win this one 4-0. Goals by Kassian, Daniel Sedin, Garrison and Raymond.

So we are Stanley cup champs. I mean we may have bought a championship but how does that differ from most NBA and MLB championships. Avalanche, '94 rangers as well

Nope.

HHOF doesn't consider it to be the same franchise.

All the Canucks did is buy the rights to sell hats and t-shirts.
