It is only a failure, if you actually expected a better outcome than what actually happens.

I know I didn't have high expectations, as my expectations of the teams position in the standings was predicted.

It's your nickel. Celebrate ,don't celebrate, none of my business.

The way they have dominated over the last 9 games makes me think they are still one of the better teams in the league. I will pay the amount to the bet regardless today or tomorrow, but I still believe this is a very skilled team with horrible coaching.

The coaching you can change but I still think the thing for now is to play out the year collect two draft picks top 35 and do a coaching search or GM search in the offseason.

New blog is up - mostly taking the macro view on things.

For better or worse, there's some time to reflect here as the team takes 3 days between games for the first time this year.

Any Hoedown planned for the weekend?

I've always maintained they'd take a step back this season, but not like this dumpster fire.

This isn't a 'step back' which I didn't think the team would take. There is something seriously wrong with the Players all the way up to ownership.

We only had 9 out for wings Wednesday but the boys are over for HNIC this Saturday. Probably just 5 or 6 lol

I maintain there is absolutely no way this club is this bad and even the Flames as well.

It goes deep.

Exactly. If everyone at home knows how the PP is going to play out for two minutes then other coaches and scouting staffs can figure it out too.

I agree, something isnt right and I would say several issues are going on.

Exactly. Did you see the shit eating grin on Smiths face, when Pouty shot the puck and Smith easily saved it, the Canucks go with option 1 or option 2, the play to Bo in the slot or the play to Pouty on his off-wing.

We have a hockey team, we can watch hockey during Bonnie’s pandemic, we live in Vancouver, it is sunny, life is grand

50 Plus years will do that to you. I'm not happy they are losing, more perplexed by their owner being such an idiot.
- VanHockeyGuy

No one’s happy lol. It’s just a bit promising that this season is hopefully getting us one step closer to the changes needed

Even the cheer leading squad has been MIA the last couple of games. That's when you know things aren't going well.
- VanHockeyGuy

Maybe they just don't want to listen to a bunch of idiots slurp each other?
