The Vancouver Canucks spend a big chunk of their season playing against divisional rivals. Whether it be against the teams in Alberta or the teams in California, a rivalry matchup is always entertaining to watch.
If the Alberta rivalry is built on the speed and skill of the likes of Connor McDavid, Johney Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, the California rivalry is built on the size and power of the likes of Ryan Getzlaf, Drew Doughty and Brent Burns. The California road swing is always a tough trial for even the best teams in the NHL.
