The Toronto -Vancouver rivalry dates back to 1918 , the first Stanley Cup final involving the new NHL .

The Canucks won the only modern playoff series between the cities, the 1994 Western Conference final.

The rivalry has been driven by the long-held grudge from old-timers over the mountains that the Leafs delayed Vancouver ’s entry to the NHL for years to protect broadcast and beer monopolies.

More than 80 have laced up for both teams, an A-to-Z list from Claire Alexander to Peter Zezel .

Mats Sundin had a very unfortunate exit from being Toronto ’s franchise scoring leader to a free-agent playoff bit player.

Tiger Williams was broken-hearted at being moved out by vindictive GM Punch Imlach, but his return next season to the Gardens was one for the ages.
