The Vancouver Canucks finished last in the league.
A fitting place for possibly the most pathetic franchise in the league now that the Buffalo Sabers have made the playoffs for the first time in15 years.
This team needs to be nuked. They have absolutely nothing going for them. The players have been at each other’s throats for years with words like, dysfunctional, country club, and mean girls used to describe the locker room by both coaches and media.
The team ran with Adam Foote as a head coach. Now Adam Foote can be a good, defensive minded assistant coach, but a head coach, in the NHL? He’s in way over his head.
They did this in an attempt to appease franchise cornerstone and team captain Quinn Hughes even though team president, Jim Rutherford said in a press conference only a couple weeks ago that he was leaving no matter what. Oh my god, you need to stop letting that man in front of a microphone, it only makes things worse.
First, it was dragging Bruce Boudreau through the mud, then it was talking about how Elias Pettersson and JT miller could not co-exist anymore. Are we not all adults being paid millions of dollars per year here?
Even their medical department is terrible. Whether it was botching Tanner Pearsons wrist so badly that the NHL needed to investigate it, not doing proper diligence and recovery with your franchise goaltender, or being the final resting place for the careers of Micheal Ferland, Tucker Poolman, Brandon Sutter, and Travis Dermott, why have you neglected to change anything?
Alright, now for the elephant in the room. The owner, Francesco Aquilini. All signs point to him being rather meddlesome in hockey operations, but it goes deeper than that. Between the family lawsuits, underpaying 171 migrant workers on his berry farm in Pitt Meadows, and countless other scandals, it all but guarantees the city of Vancouver will celebrate their version of a Stanley Cup when the chains of this man are removed from the beloved team.
You are a pain to watch, have no culture, no teamwork, no stars, no dignity, no professionalism, and no sympathy from anyone. It’s nothing but a laughingstock for 31 other NHL fanbases. I genuinely would not care if this team was moved tomorrow.
I hereby appoint you, the dumpster fire dynasty. Thank you for playing
