===Vancouver Canucks=== The arena hosted its first NHL game on October 9, 1970, where the [[Los Angeles Kings]] defeated the [[Vancouver Canucks]] 3β1 in the Canucks' NHL debut. The Kings' [[Bob Berry (ice hockey)|Bob Berry]] scored the first goal, with [[Barry Wilkins]] scoring the first goal for the Canucks. Its final NHL game was played May 27, 1995, with the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] defeating the Canucks 4β3 to sweep them out of the [[1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs]] in the second round. The 25-year tenure of the Canucks would see the [[Stanley Cup Finals]] come to the Coliseum twice; once in {{scfy|1982}}, where the [[New York Islanders]] would complete their sweep of the Canucks in Vancouver on May 16, 1982, and again in {{scfy|1994}} where they would lose to the [[New York Rangers]] in a seven-game thriller. Former owner [[Arthur Griffiths (businessman)|Arthur Griffiths]] called the sixth game of the 1994 series, the only Stanley Cup Finals game that the Canucks would ever win at the Coliseum, to be "The greatest game ever played at the Pacific Coliseum," and sent the entire city into a frenzy in its wake. The Coliseum would host a viewing of game 7, which the Canucks would lose by a goal, after [[Nathan LaFayette]]'s potential tying shot went off the post. Pacific Coliseum also played host to the [[30th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1977 NHL All-Star Game]], which saw the Wales Conference All-Stars defeat the Campbell Conference All-Stars 4β3. The final NHL goal scored in the arena belongs to the [[Chicago Blackhawks]]' [[Chris Chelios]], as the Blackhawks completed a four-game sweep of the Canucks in the [[1995 Stanley Cup Playoffs]]' second round. [[Roman Oksiuta]] scored the Canucks' last goal in the building.
