Accidentally drew Ricardo like an aging Superman. Will substantiate with backstory later.

Pretty sad when you're being outshot 2-1 by a Rick Tocchet coached team.
#Canucks #VANvsPHI

“One more win?” Ah, no.

VAN had one more win than their 1st round opponent, CAL, but they were a Cinderella team in 1982. The Oilers (48) had 18 more wins than the Canucks (30).

The LAK (63 pts) upset EDM (111) in the “Miracle on Manchester”, clearing the path for VAN (77).

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

😱 #Canucks management realizing Demko could prevent the tank. 🤣
Something is wrong here.

Garland's and Guerin's comments underscore that Quinn is a hockey nerd. I assumed the contract walking him to free agency was (only) about money. I think he saw the 💩 decisions Benning was making and decided to keep his options open. Lifelong #Canucks fan, but honestly can't say I blame him.
My official stance (after going through the five stages of grief, lol) is that quinn deserves better and all canucks players do too

The organization is a failure right now

Could have pulled a Marner and walked after next season. Upfront about not re-signing let #Canucks grab a haul. 🫡 🫡
Kind of gross how fast people are turning on quinn and blaming him solely for the culture or not trying as hard this season etc

Have you never been with a miserable team at work? Have you never struggled at work? He's just human and this is just a job

Same, brother. Same.
I really liked Zadorov when he played for the #Canucks. I really liked Hughes when he played for the Canucks.

So this afternoon I’m watching them both in a #Bruins vs #MNWild game.

❌ Old and busted: #Canucks outshooting opponents 2:1 and losing.

🔥 New hotness: Being outshoot 2:1 and winning.

Taking just a single shot in the third period doesn't seem a sustainable way to pile up wins, but it was nice to see the other team with an empty 🥅 for a change.

Miss me with the "QH was a bad choice for captain when he didn't want to be here" takes.

Owner + mgmt are at fault, not Quinn.

He could have kept silent, played out his contract, and left in free agency.

He knew he wasn't coming back. Gave the team a chance to get back a pile of assets. 🫡🫡

Amazing what a difference special teams can make. Great puck movement as the #Canucks go 2/3 on the power play. Buium with 1 G 1A (so far) is on pace for 100+ pp points. 🤣

Penalty kill looks so much better with Demko in net. Huge kill on lengthy 5 on 3.

Canucks up 2-0 after one.
December 14, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Woot! Correct call 2 games in a row!
Not Quinn. 😢

DeBrusk has been ice cold. Rossi is going to wake him up.

I’ll take Jake.
December 14, 2025 at 5:55 PM
#canucks fans are a subset of hockey fans and it is hard to feel like winners here, even if the MIN power play is going to be 🔥🔥🔥. I admit it will be fun (💔) to watch Quinn pile up points when he isn’t being ground into dust with 28+ TOI each night.
One winner in the Quinn Hughes trade I haven't seen mentioned yet: hockey fans.

With #Canucks lack of playoffs and him missing 4 Nations last year, Hughes hasn't played a ton of consequential games.

Fans should now finally get to see his talent in games that matter.

Clearly the 1970 expansion was cursed. The hockey gods hate both franchises and have condemned them with ass ownership and inept management.
I had no idea that the Canucks were having all these issues with their organization as well? You’re telling me the Sabres aren’t the only hot mess around? Omg unity!

QH is one of the very best dmen in the world. Players like him are almost never traded. The Wild paid a heavy price, and there is a risk Quinn leaves after next season when his contract is up. Wild are immediately better but hard road ahead as top 2 teams in west COL and DAL are also in their div.
I need the hockey people to explain the Wild trade to me. Apparently it’s a big deal. I don’t know who Quinn Hughes is. Does this elevate the Wild beyond their perpetual mediocrity?

I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

I’ve jumped straight to the way-too-much-rum-in-my-coke stage of #Canucks grieving.
For any Canucks fans out there that need it, this may come in handy right now. I'm currently waffling between anger and bargaining. #canucks #huggybear
December 13, 2025 at 2:18 AM
I’m frankly stunned how much this hurts. I’m having to remind myself that the #Canucks play a kid’s game I happen to enjoy watching.

I’m not as emotionally wrung out as I was after Otto kicked the puck into our net in OT, but the “why do I bother?” despair is worse.
This is a sad day in #Canucks history
December 13, 2025 at 2:08 AM
I’ve been cheering for this sad sack #Canucks organization my whole life. Huffing the “hopium” for decades before I ever heard that term.

We FINALLY get a bonafide superstar defenseman and he’s just … gone? Because he’d like a chance to win?

I, too, would like to win.

SELL THE TEAM.
There have been MANY nights in the past three seasons when Quinn Hughes was literally the only thing worth watching for #Canucks fans.

Fumbling an elite talent like Quinn Hughes SUUUUUCKS.

As a lifelong Canucks fan, I honestly don't know how long it'll be before I come back to the team after this.
December 13, 2025 at 2:03 AM
You dream of a first overall pick, something the #Canucks have never had, BECAUSE it might land you a player like Quinn Hughes. He fell into our laps and the Canucks utterly, totally fucked it up. Disgraceful.
Whatever you think of the trade return, this being the end result of the Quinn Hughes era can’t be seen as anything less than an abject failure by the #Canucks organization, from ownership on down.
December 13, 2025 at 1:23 AM
The Cam Neely trade was a disaster for the #Canucks because of the player he became in Boston. QH43 is already a Norris trophy winner. At 26 he has *at least* another 8 seasons during which he will be one of the 2 or 3 best dmen in the entire league. What an own goal by this dumpster fire of an org
