In 2010, Vancouver hosted the Winter Olympics, an international sporting event that happens once every 4 years.
In Canada's history, this was the third time it hosted the Olympics. In 1976 the Summer Olympics took place in Montreal, Quebec. A year later in 1977, the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. In 1988, the Winter Olympics were hosted in Calgary, Alberta. Who won the Stnaley cup a year later? Correct. The Calgary Flames went on to win the Stanley cup in 1989. Last year, in 2010, Vancouver, British Columbia hosted the Winter Olympics. A year later, the Canucks are in the Finals and have a chance to repeat history if they win.
I'm not saying this is definite proof the Canucks are going to win. But I talk about how there's a factor in hockey that appears too perfect and uncontrollable. For instance how the "hockey gods" are often topics of conversation between hockey fans. Well this might be the case here also.
