The iPod Nano. Flip phones. MySpace. Blockbuster. Green Day. Eminem. Ah yes, the 2000s.

Well, the greatest line in Canucks history, the West Coast Express for sure. Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison terrorized top D-pairs across the NHL from 2002-2006.
Also, the franchise-altering trade for Roberto Luongo and the emergence of the Sedins as the Canucks number-one guys served as a nice precursor to the most dominant Canucks teams in their history soon after the decade ended.
