Damn solid list

Is that Blue series really our only sweep ever? That’s so pathetic for an almost 50 year franchise.

+ 3-game sweep over Calgary in 1982. That's it.

Yikes. Playoff success is not our thing. Regular season success isn’t really either outside of a few years.

Who's the new guy?

How do we compare to the rest of the league?
Wondering how high on the pathetic scale we are.

[Zombotron]

So we suck in that regard, but so do Toronto, NYR, Washington and especially Los Angeles. Of those teams, only Vancouver and Toronto have gone Cup-less since 1967

so 15 teams with multiple sweeps.

Surprised to see Col and Dal with only 2 as well.

So many other reasons to consider our franchise pathetic... our sweep count may not be one of them.

 

[PM]

It’s actually not as bad as I thought looking at the rest of the league. Some decent teams on there with only 1 or 2 as well.

 

[VanJack]

Lol....I see all the early pre-season polls have the Canucks dead-last in the Western Conference again....and you can't really blame them....if the Canucks bottom out at 30-31st place again, will it represent the worst four-year stretch in the Canucks' 50 year history?

I think they're due for a "fluke season" - think they'll end up something in the twenties in terms of ranking. Where in the twenties will depend on how good of a fluke season the team has.

 

[LeftCoast]

February 26, 2007 - Jan Bulis jumps on Niklas Hagman and gets piggyback ride to the slot in Dallas then cross checks Marty Turco from behind on the same shift. No penalties called.

 

[Fixxer]

Edit : Didn't remember how come I had a picture of him...
RIP! --- Actually called Koivu at the Draft in 93, Saku Kuivu... or whatever way he spelled it. lol
https://www.rds.ca/videos/hockey/ln...dre-boudrias-repeche-saku-koivu-lnh-3.1307363
5'8" 165lbs. -- He adjusted the microphone as he gets in front.

I didn't really know him but I got respect for this guy.
His career took off in Vancouver, wow! Solid career!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Very sad that he passed away this year. One of the few bright spots of the early days of this franchise.

 

[Zombotron]

Screw you, Joel Otto.

 

[TARS]

I just became so aware of how fast time moves.

 

[Zombotron]

10 years ago today:



Keith Tkachuk's final playoff game. The rookie season of T.J. Oshie, Jannik Hansen and Patrik Berglund. Paul Kariya didn't get to see playoff action because the series ended so quickly.

CanucksHD was the shit, before the official Canucks YouTube channel came out.

Man 2008-2009 season was a blast.

CanucksHD was damn good. GoCanucksGo did a tremendous job filling that void until he got shut down by Sportsnet...
