Dumb Nuck Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I love stats and trivia so thought it might be fun to have an obscure/fun fact/stat thread about our favorite team so I’ll start. Best I can tell there have been 631 players to don a Canucks jersey, over 160 have not scored a goal in that jersey. Dumb/fun fact: 1/4 Canuck players have never scored a goal for the team. 1/6 have never recorded a point.

joe-max Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup in a season, in which they failed to qualify for the playoffs. Fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Mike is the most common Canuck name, 18 players sported it. J is the most common letter for a Canuck first name, 83 players have names that start with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Nuck Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 In 50+ years we have won only 17 playoff rounds, 9 of which came in our 3 SCF appearances. So in the other 47 years we have only won 8 rounds. For comparison, the Sabres have won 21 rounds. They also made the playoffs 29 times compared to our 28. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and Markus Näslund come from the same small (30,000 inhabitants) town Örnsköldsvik. So do Peter Forsberg, Niklas Sundström and Victor Hedman. Örnsköldsvik has a sister city in Finland (Äänekoski), where we have our summer cottage. It's a small world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Nuck Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Out of the all time top scorers in the NHL Mats Sundin is the first player to ever play for the Canucks on the list in the 28th spot with 1349 points. With 1070 points Henrik Sedin as the Canucks top scorer that’s played the bulk (in this case all) his career with the team falls well outside the top 50. EDIT: must be denial but missed Messier, #3 with 1887 point but I’d never really consider him a Canuck. Edited May 18, 2021 by Dumb Nuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
