Bergeron's first period goal should have been enough for fans to know the game's outcome, as the team that scored the first goal won every game in this series. The Bruins now have won the Stanley Cup six times, fourth-most among all NHL franchises, but had n't captured the sport's most coveted prize since 1972. They had been to the finals five other times since they last won, but this time marked their first appearance since 1990. The Canucks have been to the finals three times in their 40 seasons in the league, but have never won. Holding the home-ice advantage, they won the first two games of the series, but lost all three games played in Boston before losing at home on Wednesday. They were seeking to become the first Canadian team to win the NHL title since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
