This team sucks! There is no sugar-coating it, they are bad. There are positives with the young players but this team is going to be bad for a few more years as they re-build, re-tool, re-adjust, re-distribute or re-what-the-f*ck-ever for a couple more seasons. Saying otherwise is Mary Poppins.

Hey we are not that bad, we are in a tie for.25th with 3 other teams, but only 2 behind us.

Even Arizona is slowly catching us. I am enjoying watching our youth improve.

Are you kidding me!! Nuck4U sees nothing wrong with this team, just one bounce away from skipping through the playoffs with zeal and glee.

I'd prefer to say he's optimistic. Strongly optimistic. I just went back and read some of his posts and they didn't display sunshine and roses. He understands this team has certain deficiencies. Just not as many as most. The way he goes about conveying those ideas are a little long.

Had the same number of points at the same time last year and ended up 3rd last. I can see that happening again. Not exactly a draft you want to tank in.

The team just lost 3 in a row and are tied for 25th, if they win 3 in a row he'll step up his game.

6 game road trip. probably go 1-5 on the road trip. Plant the team firmly in 28th place.

Which is pretty much what most expected going into the season unless everything broke the Canucks way. Despite some positives like Bo taking another step, Stetcher and Tree being better than expected and Miller having a good season the team is bottom 10 trending towards bottom 5.

If LE and the twins would have had good seasons and we avoided injuries to key players all season then a bubble team. Better off where they currently are i'd say.

I am definitely not a member of.Team tank. I want to see this talent, speed.and aggressive lacking team, play hard and be responsible on the ice. Most nights we get a solid effort, just don't have the speed to be competitive enough.

I think it's great that they bring the effort, which speaks to the coach and leadership in the room. I don't think they have to tank, the team is bad enough naturally to draft high. I think rock bottom may be a couple of years off yet.

Guy was/is a giant dbag but his stats say he should've been. I think this was his second year of eligibility. He should be in

I'm okay with losing as long as it isn't like last night. To me this team is 2 high end talent players replacing daniel and henrik. 1 legit top pairing D man. So 3 more years of high drafting or getting a bit lucky and finding a gem or two somewhere.

The atmosphere at the jets game are kind of hit or miss sometimes. If the team is playing well that night, place is great. If not well it's like going to a canucks game i'm guessing.

I don't know why anyone quotes suck4u. His posts are so bad and he derails the thread by posting over and over. He's one of the main reasons I don't come here as much. The other being the rumours never seem to come true.

Rock botTom will be next season.2018-19 season is our season for real change, even if we end up with less point and are at the bottom of league it will be a year of progress.

Whoever said STFU in here last night a big thank you.

I get it, you guys are big fans but last night was annoying to watch on the ice and in here.

I will point out sitting having a coffee ,calm and not ranting just discussing.



I made a comment last night about the Swedish line being underwhelming and Golfing pointed out "yeah. but they are still our top players.". He is right and that has to change .

You are not going to move the Sedins an they have one year left and truthfully this year we have no replacements. Henrik actually still has game but Daniel has been a hindrance .

Seeing the last few games against the top teams exposes how old slow and soft we are. It is time to move assets.

Some of us including myself were praising Sbisa this year but if you can get a second round pick for him take it . This team needs a fresh start .

Miller Burrows and Hansen it was nice knowing you thanks for the service. Get those draft picks Jim.

I also have no problem with trading Edler or Tanev even if we unload the above mentioned contracts.


One more thing . Nuck4u try to remember Less is More .
