Carol Schram: With pressure mounting, Canucks look to flip the script vs. the Avalanche After a 7-1 drubbing in Denver sent the Vancouver Canucks and their fanbase into a downward spiral, the club will have a chance to right the ship on Wednesday as they host the Colorado Avalanche to open a three-game homestand at Rogers Arena.

Thanks Carol! still really enjoy & appreciate your blogs.

Thanks Carol!! Well done.

Thanks Carol

Not sure I want the fires to be put out. Maybe the fires will expose the weak links and help ownership find other solutions.

Thanks Carol,

4-2 AV's

Thanks Carol!

I hope the Canucks lose and continue to lose so that change is forced. Enough of this embarrassing clown show.

Well tonight's embarrassing clown show will be broadcast nationwide, so hopefully that will put more pressure on Aquilini.

Thanks Carol

I'm predicting a win for Van tonight, I feel like they've developed a habit of winning just enough to give ownership and fans some hope.

I saw a poll on twitter yesterday that had about 85% of fans hoping for a loss tonight to help the push to fire JB.

I guess my reasons are different . I want a top three pick this year because I think we need a first line center. I think if you want the first pick overall you need to plan for it.

Everyone knows Jim and Travis need to go but I think exposing the team faults are more important at this stage. Bringing in a new coach and new GM still wont fix the issues of the players so let this situation expose what is wrong.

Win, lose or draw.........We are all Canucks

Lets celebrate and bang our heads

Thanks Carol,

I don't share the optimism, I think the wheels have fallen off, and only a complete organizational paradigm shift and cleanup is going to get this back on the rails. 4-1 Avs and Demko ends up injured which will effectively kill the season.

Thanks Carol!


I have a feeling the boys will respond with a good game tonight

Cmon Nucker.
You gotta be more specific!

Thanks Carol!

Thanks Carol, I’m not sure characterizing their opening 7 game road trip as “decent” is accurate, given the competition they faced and the dismal results against Buffalo and Detroit. However, they did start out the home stand with better play, even though they didn’t get the results they wanted.

Is it too early in the season to say this is a MUST WIN game? Sure feels that way.

I mean if anyone still thinks there is a chance at playoffs they need a decent winning streak right now in order to get there.

They need a 5 game streak to get close, and another to get in position and then need to play .600 hockey the rest of the way.

Nobody jump off any bridges quite yet. 3-4 game winning streak and everyone will be planned parade. Decisions/changes best made from position of power, not panic.
