| - The Vancouver Canucks are a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. They play at the 18,630-capacity General Motors Place. They are members of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. The Canucks joined the league in 1970 as an expansion team along with the Buffalo Sabres. In the Canucks 38-year NHL history, the team has advanced twice to the Stanley Cup Finals but were defeated both times by New York teams: the Islanders in 1982, and the Rangers in 1994. The Canucks selected Dale Tallon, a defenceman from the Toronto Marlboros with their first pick, second overall in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft. The Canucks also drafted Trevor Linden from the Medicine Hat Tigers in 1988. Linden is currently the all-time leader in games played and assists for the Canucks. The Canucks, all-time, had thirteen top five draft picks but never got the first overall pick. The Canucks are one of the two franchises in the NHL to have drafted two twin brothers in the same year. They drafted Daniel Sedin second overall and Henrik Sedin third overall in 1999. __FORCETOC__
