Formed in 1991, the San Jose Sharks are relative newcomers in the NHL. However, within a short time, they have made a name for themselves based on their attacking style of play. The Sharks are based out of San Jose where they play their home games at the SAP Center which is commonly called the ‘Shark Tank’ by the fans of the franchise.

Filling up a Void

The Sharks were the first NHL based franchise after the departure of the California Golden Seals. The Sharks are placed in the Western Conference where they play in the Pacific Division. In their short history in the league so far, the Sharks have won the division title six times. In addition to this, the franchise has also been awarded the President’s Trophy once which is given to the team with the most number of points at the end of the regular season.

The Mighty Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks are relative newcomers to the NHL themselves, having come as part of the expansion phase in 1970. The Canucks are currently led by their inspiring captain Henrik Sedin. The team is coached by Willie Desjardins. The Canucks are no strangers to the big stage, having appeared in the Stanley Cup finals three times. Although they came up short against the New York Islanders, New York Rangers and the Boston Bruins, yet the experience has made them stronger and more determined each time. With three Conference titles, two President’s Trophies and 10 Division titles under their belt, this is one team that never gives up.
