I think the Canucks will put in a gutsy effort tonight led by JT Miller EP and Toffoli. I think we will see them start on time and I'm going with 4-2.
With Demko and the early goals reminds me a bit of where Marky was 2 years ago with the tough goal. I hope Demko has had some time with Ian Clark and we will be able to see the improvement. I am still happy they are there in the fight and am looking forward to the stretch drive.

From what i've read, Demko seems like a cool cucumber.
I'm hoping he brushes off the losing streak and has a solid game tonight.

If Hughes is out, we are in (even more) trouble.

This is the correct take. Dumb names get dumb logos

We accept most team names as normal because of how long they've been around, but if an expansion team today was named the Canucks, it'd be ridiculed

Toronto is named after a freaking leaf.





I like the name Canuck.

Cap is going up between 2.5-6 mil. Little more wiggle room, i still expect a buyout and/or trade to offload a contract this summer

I can see that

With our 50 year history we should be called the Woolnots. Now that would be a fun logo to design.

It stands for Orca Bay, the group who owned the team before aqua-brothers. It's a corporate logo and nothing more.

This is so wrong I'm going to challenge you on it

The name Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment was born from the location of the team, the Pacific Northwest, obviously. Both the name of the former holding company and the crest represent our area, they are not mutually exclusive.

I'm in the don't give a rats ass on the Orca, take it or leave it, however, much like the blue and green for the ocean and the forest the Orca represents our location.

The modified Stick in Rink should be their primary logo with the current color scheme. WTF does the skate represent? It's as stupid as the name "Canucks", it's dumb and boring and in no way represents our location or the Canuck brand.

Free agent season has begun. Christiansen was my # 14 ranked prospect free agent

Columbus just signed a college guy

Toronto is named after a freaking leaf.





I like the name Canuck.

Dumb name, dumb logo

Look at this horrendous piece of poop. Talk about soulless.

Absolutely Horrendous was a laughing stock amongst the league.

Dark Times.

Thanks Carol!

2-1 Canucks

Also, while the orca might be a “corporate” representation of the former ownership group, it is also represents important imagery for the Pacific Northwest. I’m fine with it if they are, what does this arm chair GM know about uniforms anyway.

I kind of agree. I've always been a fan of canuck practice sweaters more than their NHL ones.

Really like the new adidas practise jerseys. They should be the main ones lol

When Canucks entered the league I lived in Montreal and I remember thinking as a 15 year old what ugly jerseys. When the flying V and the skate cam when I lived in Edmonton wondering if Vancouver had a patent on ugly jerseys just like ugly Xmas sweaters.

Not as dumb as the "kraken' lol

Canucks is a solid name in any era.

Johnny Canuck (occasionally also “Jack Canuck” or “Young Canuck”) came to serve as the recognized Canadian equivalent of Uncle Sam in the United States or John Bull in Great Britain: a fictional male figure who personifies the nation as a whole. All three of these figures are patriotic, assertive and proud; they accept insults from no one.

Thanks Carol!

Oof the Kraken would be among the worst names in the league.

I'm fine with the Canucks, as its been the name all my life, but critically speaking its a fairly meaningless and unidentifiable name particularly for the region. To expect a logo to capture "Canuck" and the region is next to impossible

awesome.

The orca? Why does it represent BC? It's not exclusive to this region. It's just as common the world over.
It wasn't overly revered in our First Nation traditions (salmon, raven, eagle, beaver, clam, sea otter hold much more importance).
We used to hunt them as pests and then capture a few for study/entertainment. They interfered in what many people saw as far more important... commercial and recreational fishing.

Orca conservation and understanding is a very recent phenomenon. 60 years tops. Close to the amount of time the canucks have been in existence.

So the argument about it representing our region is weak sauce. It's a corporate logo thinly disguised as a proud symbol of our people.

#Canucks prospect, Arvid Costmar had two primary assists this morning - on the tying goal and OT winner.

He's up to 50 points in 29 SuperElit games - 4th in league scoring. His 1.72 points-per-game lead the pack.

Hopefully he graduates to the SHL next season and then comes over for the AHL after that

Krackens logo could be good

Vancouver Canucks is no different than Montreal Canadiens.

You just don't get it, I feel like I'm talking to Vantel

Of all the teams in the National Hockey League it is pretty exclusive to our area, if the NHL was a world sport like football (aka soccer) then I'd be inclined to agree with you, however, its not!

Much like the Winged Wheel as the Red Wings crest it represents their history and their past with the automaker industry. The Orca represents our area, not our "people" as you've stated above.
