So I mean that was my own fault. 👀

Trust the French to invent a tank with two drivers. One facing the front, one facing backwards. Kinda like Allvin and Foote.
Maybe this is our mascot for the year?

While I understand the absolute need for tanking…. I cannot seem to hold interest for a team or a sport that I cannot cheer for winning.

I’ve never been big on input here but have almost zero interest at this time. What gets me most is how hard lever is working at this site to make a better place I feel I’m letting him down..

Maybe I can dig up some interest…

I know it's selfish, but it was more entertaining when the team could be bad and tough. At least be annoying, now the team is just annoying to watch.

I totally get this - hell, even a few good hits per game would help!

Agree, trade the vets and bring up kids or at least players who will give a damn. Even if they have zero skill, I would rather see that then what they are putting out now.

It was like this in the '80's for a while as well.

Oilers and Flames kicked our ass on the scoreboard and in the alley.

Smyl had to fight Semenko and McSorley at times ffs.

Then Quinn took care of that BS with the likes of Daryl Stanley and Craig Coxe.

One of the reasons that '94 team was my favourite edition of the Canucks.

Big.

...and tough.

Favourite Gino moment was when he tried to fight all 5 St. Louis players on the ice.
