Orka Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 @ Prior to the 1974–75 season, Scallen and his ownership group from Minnesota sold the team to local media mogul Frank Griffiths for $9 million.[15] Also in the summer of 1974, the Canucks were re-aligned within the league and placed in the new Smythe Division. They responded with their first winning record (38 wins, 32 losses and 10 ties), finishing first in the Division with 86 points.[14] Making their debut in the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Canucks lost the opening series of the 1975 post-season in five games to the Montreal Canadiens. Season Rosters Canucks: Canadiens SPOILER: Montreal would go on to win this game 5-4 in overtime, defeating the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This one is well beyond my time so not sure what I can say... But... Nux for cup 1975 season. Why? Because it's the greatest sporting franchise of ALL time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-Hearted Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Just imagine the crowd and atmosphere at the Pacific Coliseum for a Game 6 if the Canucks had not blown that two-goal lead. There wouldn't have been any waving of white towels because Towel Power wasn't even created yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I remember some things about this series as I was a little kid and went to game 4 at the Coliseum. The main thing I remember was that the Canucks were every bit as manhandled in games 3 & 4 at home as they were by the Islanders in 1982 in the finals in the 2 home games then. Very similar both times...schooled, dominated and scored one goal combined in 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Saw the one game that the Canucks won in this series. If my memory is right, Paulin Bourdeleau with the winner. And some goon talk from Yvon Lambert up on the glass: "tu toue hostie". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
