The Last Time the Canucks Got Past Round 2

PrintIt's been 15 years since the Canucks beat the Stars in 5 games in Round 2 of the 1994 Playoffs. I can't say that I remember much of that series except for the one thing that most longtime Canucks fans remember: The Bure elbow on Shane Churla. I believe he was only fined $500 and given a game suspension by then-NHL disciplinarian Brian Burke. Bure also scored more goals than any other Canuck in that series. Sergio Momesso worked his way out of Pat Quinn's doghouse by scoring a winning goal as well.
That infamous elbow and the physicality of that series is captured on the clip below, an excerpt from Don Cherry's Rock 'Em Sock 'Em 6.
Can you remember anything else about that series?
There is a game-by-game recap of that series here.

i don’t remember 1994. i was only 4 years old at the time.
you know how those rotten flamers like chanting "fuck the canucks" because it rhymes?
well, it just so happens that "fuck the flames" uses alliteration, for which more superior intellect is required compared to rhyme.
fuck the flames, and GO CANUCKS GO!
No I have not.
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.

Wow. Get someone to burn them for you, somehow. You gotta see it!
I still have the extended highlights and all of Game 7 on VHS. Gotta convert it over.

You people are making me feel old. Unacceptable. Excuse me while I go run in traffic with a kite.

OMG…you are all babies! My daughter was 6!!
Love how Grapes called Pavel – Pavelle. Whats up with that?
Oh yes….I am old too then. I still talk about the 3 OTs (1 double OT) in the first round to come from behind and beat Calgary. I barely passed my provincials. It was magical. So for anyone who is not too familiar with this huge part of history….pls read….1) http://www3.telus.net/dmarchak/cancla94.htm and 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Eastern_Conference_Finals. It was an epic run.
Canucks library! Love that site! Thanks for the links.
I was 2 years out of high school by the way.
