We have gone this far into the season and the San Jose Sharks have yet to play the Vancouver Canucks. Since many fans don’t remember what a Canucks jersey looks like, I thought a reminder of what this rivalry was is necessary to viewing the first Sharks-Canucks game in more than a year.
It all started in 2011. Before that no one was aware Vancouver existed. After all, America is so large and the Sharks were too busy hanging banners from the roof of the SAP Center. Life was going great until a stanchion had to butt in and ruin everything.
