In Vancouver, Murzyn then spent eight years and thus most of his NHL career. He also reached the Stanley Cup final with the Canucks in 1994 again, but lost to the New York Rangers in seven games. After the defender had missed a large part of the 1997/98 season due to a knee injury and was partly used in the following year for the Canucks farm team , the Syracuse Crunch , in the American Hockey League (AHL), he ended his active role after the 1998/99 season Career.
