Canucks will have a chance to repeat Stanley Cup glory


In what promises to be the battle of goaltenders, this year's Stanley Cup finals between the Vancouver Canucks and Buffalo Sabres promises to be epic. Roberto Luongo, who missed most of the season with a UCL tear, has been dominant whenever he has hit the ice since returning. On the other hand, Ryan Miller is a Vezina candidate who has been hot for the whole year while at the top of his game. Both teams feature a lot of depth at every position and it is hard to predict who will come out on top; will the Vancouver Canucks be the first back-to-back Stanley Cup winners since Detroit in 97 and 98?
