Well, the Vancouver Canucks will get their chance eventually. The Philadelphia Eagles wait over a half-century until they got their hands on the Lombardi Trophy. Thanks to the supreme play of Nick Foles and the lights-out offence, the Eagles won Super Bowl 52 — and the franchise’s first championship since 1960.
The Canucks franchise was born in 1970, but they’ve yet to get their hands on the Stanley Cup championship. They’ve qualified for the Final three times, and fell just one game short in both 1994 and 2011. The chances have been there, but the Canucks just haven’t been able to take advantage.
