Which was your most entertaining Canucks' season?

I mean when only watching their play was pure fun. For exemple I suppose the Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi line was pretty exciting to watch, or the Öhlund-Salo D-pair... You may link some videos If you would like to.

Probably for those few seasons where Bertuzzi was a beast and everyone was scared; we weren't a very good team but it was fun watching him nail Chelios from behind in the playoffs before they cared about dirty hits

Outside of the obvious latest cup finals teams, I nominate the following:

The start of the Gillis era, 2008-09, really turned things around for the team after the closing out of the underacheiving WCE era.

When the team first hit the ice that season, you could tell right away things were different. Burrows and the Sedins were just 27, Kesler just 24. Luongo 29. There was the hoopla about Mats Sundin. You could see the potential, and while they couldn't ultimately get it done vs. teams ahead of the curve, the process of the transfer from sadsack loser to exciting and cocky winner was fairly entertaining imho.

The start of the Bure era, 1991-92, and the following season, 1992-93, officially put this team on the map as a legit threat, imho. Bure and Linden were just 20 and 21. Nedved 19. Ronning, Lumme and McLean 25. They had veterans in Larionov, Adams, Courtnall, Lidster and Babych kicking around. You could tell that something special was going to happen, and it did. The 94 run was magical.

Can't go wrong with 2011 obviously. That was WITH OUT A DOUBT the most talented nhl team assembled of all time.

Entertainment wise, this year was epic. We bent over all the best teams.

2001-2002 was very fun to watch for me

2003-2004 was great too. Watching Bert man up and stand up for his best friend... Will never forget that.

So I'll say 2002, 2004, 2011 and 2015 for me. Did watch before 2002 so I probably missed some good ones.

I just don't enjoy this as much as others. Not only was this only because we blew a 3-0 series lead but eventually embarrassed ourselves in the ultimate final.

But you have to admit that moment was amazing...82,94 and 2011 were probably the only 'great' seasons that all ended in disappointment..besides those 3, I don't see what other season I can honestly say was my fav because they were all failures..

Our most talented but not the most

Not touching the 90's Avalanche, 80's Oilers, Early 80's Islanders, plethora of Hab's teams and the Super Mario teams.

Edit* Or many incarnations of the Red Wings, the Hawks team that kicked us around before 2011, The Macinnis era Flames

Really could keep thinking of more but you get the point.
