The Vancouver Canucks are somewhat the Cinderella team in the current playoffs. A comparison has been drawn with the Canadiens regarding their journey.
The Canucks will try to cause an upset and eliminate the Edmonton Oilers, led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, in six games.
No one really saw the rise of the Canucks coming, and especially, few gave Vancouver a chance against the offensive powerhouse of the Oilers.
In his column for BPM Sports, Pierre LeBrun made an interesting comparison between the Canucks and the Montreal Canadiens.
According to him, the Canucks' journey this season bears a strong resemblance to that of the Canadiens in 2021. Against all odds, the Canadiens reached the Stanley Cup Final that season.
A major resemblance between the two teams according to the reputable TSN insider.
