Never seen such a fantastic tank. Not a single point on a six game road trip. Ten games under 500.
Next closest are Winnipeg and Calgary at four games under 500.
Well done Megs!

Maybe someone should tell them that you don't have to boat race the field to the bottom, the odds don't go up the further you are from the 31st place team.

Still figure we'll somehow mess this up and wind up picking 5th/6th.

The bigger the gap the less damage their useless inevitable late season winning streak will do.

Exactly. Need to finish bottom 2 at least. I fear the lottery.

Your optimism was always standout AP.

I myself am expecting the to go on a 10 game heater the day after we are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Then fall the traditional 3 spots in the draft and pick 9th.

And the first 8 guys end up in the HOF.

The 9th….

Greatest tank of all time. Excuse me for me it's not funny. Never cared so less about the Canucks. Wake me up in 5 years. Shit.

I don't think I've been happier as a Canucks fan.

Not wasting my time glued to the TV every other night watching shit hockey AND they're tanking big time in just in time for a strong draft.

You're doing a fine job Megs!

Hell yeah! I havent missed many Canucks games since the early 90s but always followed along through the ups and downs but this time it's distinctly different.

I simply don't give a fuck. For the first in like 35 years I would rather watch something else.

I'll follow the draft and prospects but won't care much at all until I see most of these overpriced underperforming vets gone
