3 reasons the Vancouver Canucks didn't win the Stanley Cup

Depth at forward was a big advantage for the Oilers over the Canucks

With Elias Pettersson struggling, they still have some amazing forwards with guys like J.T. Miller, Elias Lindholm, and Brock Boeser amongst others.

That doesn't compete with that of the Edmonton Oilers though. We already know about Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl who are two of the best players ever. They elevate their games in the playoffs too which makes them extra special.

Beyond them, they have other great stars with guys like Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Evander Kane, and Adam Henrique who have all been more productive than the other guys in Vancouver.

Edmonton has another gear that they can get to when they are at their best. Their forward depth is as strong as anyone in the league and it comes with two incredible stars leading the way.

This advantage helps them at even strength and with their all-time great power play. It is very hard to beat a team that lethal up front.
