5. Brad Marchand: Had an excellent Finals against Vancouver in 2011 en route to a Cup championship. He even scored 2 goals in game 7 of the finals. He plays so close to the edge and is the type of player that is tough for ANY team to contain.
4. Dustin Brown: Had a hell of a series against the Canucks in the 2012 playoffs, scoring 2 shorthanded goals in the SAME GAME. He also destroyed Henrik Sedin on a CLEAN hit. Very impressive player, and he seems to turn it up against Vancouver.
3. Patrick Kane: Roberto Luongo still cries himself to sleep at night after Patrick Kane's epic Game 6 hattrick against Vancouver in the 2009 playoffs. Roberto Luongo was filmed literally crying in a postgame interview. Total Canuck Killer.
2. Dustin Byfuglien: Scored his second career hattrick in the 2010 second round playoff series against Vancouver, and gave Luongo nightmares with his big body in front of the net. They seemed to have no answer for him and he made them pay.
1. Tim Thomas: Here's a stat for you: 8 goals in 7 games. Vancouver put up these measly 8 goals against a phenomenal Tim Thomas in a series that somehow went 7 games. Tim Thomas was brilliant, stopping everything, and his performance included a Game 7 shutout to win the Cup.
