I would be interested in knowing how the teams win loss record was by decade since the Canucks came into the league. Didn’t alot of the Bruins’ wins come in the 70’s and 80′ when the Canucks were in their formative years? Curious.
Good question, John. I think breaking it down like that would take a lot of work and research. I could probably do more detailed stats from 2000-present. So, the last 10 years?
It starts for real in 5 days it is a waste of breath to analize every thing possible.You can write it down and keep it to yourself because it only matters to you. to much hype is to sell you more crap.so far i`ve been right all along and i`m happy to know what i see and stats are for losers.canucks in five .its friday, friday,tomorrows saturday.
Depending on which time-zone you’re in, 12:36pm EST is Saturday.
Bruins in 6.
It’s been a long 21 years since we’ve been in the Stanley Cup finals. And it’s been 39 years since our last Stanley Cup Championships. One drought has ended, now it’s time to end the next one. B’s in 7

Given that they have played each other three times in the last 5 years, I fail to see how these stats have any bearing what-so-ever on the SCF.
David: you’re 100% correct. All time stats will mean zip when it comes to this year’s Finals, and I don’t think I ever correlated the two in the piece. But some people like history, so I dig it up — including their most recent last three meetings.
Just curious: What is the source of your stats? Thanks for this!
