Are Canucks ok?

Nucks are going for another record, They are focused on ending the season with a record 8 home game wins.
8-27-5 home record, --.263 points %, which is their franchise low and the worst home record in the NHL this season. It’s also among the worst in the modern NHL era (last ~30 years) by points percentage and home-ice futility.
Congrats again.🍻

FUCK THE AQUILINI’S.

not having a practice facility is a colossal embarrassment, those cheap fucks. I’ve coached minor hockey for 30 odd years and I fight for extra ice time week in and week out for 6 months every goddamm year so our kids can develop. If there’s a canceled game/practice somewhere, I’m fucking jumping all over the ice allocator to get more ice time. Most coaches go with the prebooked once a week practices but I commit myself to twice or more, plus games. I’ve been to Shattuck where Crosby, Celebrini and many other amazing players went to school… and it’s absolutely amazing what they do and one of the most important things for growth is providing players with unlimited ice time practically 24 hrs a day!

how the fuck do you expect Canucks players to develop or the coaches to work on things with individuals or small groups if they’re just stuck in between already crazy tight ice time schedules at public rinks like Father Bauer! Just in Vancouver alone, the T-birds and VMHA have hundreds of minor teams and they’re overflowing into Richmond to get game ice and Burnaby for practices… so how the fuck is there any ice leftover for the Canucks to practice on??

This ain’t a new problem. The owners have had DECADES to deal with this but instead of buying property for the Canucks to have an amazing practice facility, they’re 100% focused on their own real estate empire… they are fucking developers and you’re telling me after DECADES they can’t find property to build a practice facility??? FUCK THE AQUILINI’S!!!

Yes, but, what fans have to realize --- and believe me many are not aware --- that finishing last does not concrete their position in the draft as #1. It use to but no longer.

IMHO, it's fine if they want to cheer on the rebuild narrative but, that should include firing the one who ruined this team. Rutherford and Alvin. They too should be fired. Perhaps, that will happen in the off season. But will the Aquilini group do that? Hard call right now. Will Adam Foote remainas well? Another question.

There are bright spots going forward. Lately Minnesota recruitments are showing promise playing with Brock. Demkos surgery might prove to be the solution for next season should his nagging issue be resolved. He's not over the hill old yet. Our D-men aren't too bad right now either. But no doubt this upcoming draft pick will have impacts on who we'll get. Trades as well are also on the table I'm sure. E, Petterson? I Highly doubt any other team will want him. But who knows stranger things have happened.

I don't get Canucks fans rooting for them to tank so they possibly get a #1 pick.

They had one of the best players in the game to build a franchise around, and traded him away because the team, and management sucked. Why would any top 3 first round picks want to play here? If they do get the #1 pick, I'm sure within 3 years they'll have ruined him, too.

If you've built a collapsing house, why would the same people build a better house?

Darn, I thought they would end the season on a four game winning streak! The hottest they have been all year on game 79, 80, and 81. Instead they will end on a loss with 100 more goals against than goals for.

Alvin gone. How is Rutherford still there?

Congratulations to Brock Boeser - finisshed the season with a league-worst - Minus 48. Not just for forwards, but out of every player.
He literally costs the team two goals for every one he scores.

Pettersson - Minus -16, so his 15 goals were as good as scoring none, and playing +- 0.

I liked Coach Bowness's rant calling out the entire Blue Jackets organization. Culture Change. If ever an organization needed one, its the Canucks.

If you watched Rutherfords year ending speech. He basically admitted to tanking the season for draft reasons lol
