The Stanley Cup playoffs is an elimination tournament in the National Hockey League consisting of four rounds of best-of-seven series. Eight teams from each of the league's two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records. The final round is dubbed the Stanley Cup Finals, which matches the two conference champions. The Stanley Cup is an ice hockey trophy that is rewarded to the NHL team that wins the Stanely Cup Playoffs. It has been referred to as The Cup, Lord Stanley's Cup, The Holy Grail, or ludicrously as Lord Stanley's Mug. The Stanley Cup has many legends and traditions, the oldest that is the winning team drinking champagne out of the cup. Cup Winners hold on to it until a new champion is crowned.
This is a proud moment in Canadian history because the Canucks made it to the last game, sadly losing but put in a great amount of effort and showed spirit coming up to the top. The farthest the Vancouver Canucks have made it in a long time.
