For those of us who grew up during the '94 run, MG1's post nails it.
Hindsight is 20/20, but that Canucks team deserved to win the cup. Bure was a bit of a primadonna, but at least he could defend himself - he got the last of Joel Otto in Round 1 and he took out Shane Churla. Trevor scored 2 goals in Game 7 of the final, despite being slammed into the boards by Messier in Game 6. Ronning played with a broken hand. Sergio Momesso was 10 times the player that Kassian, Bitz, (insert plug here) will ever be. If you think Burrows is clutch, Adams and Geoff Courtnall were clutch and they could defend themselves. And the reason why I said that Pat Quinn is the best coach in team history because under his watch, the team tore up the old Smythe division (with Calgary and LA) and they came back from a 3-1 deficit and nearly came back from another in '94.
