Yeah he opted out of the bubble last year because of the covid risk for his family. Not good

Who are the 5 invincible ones? Let's put them into a giant blender and make a cure for everyone else.

Of the healthy regulars that were actively practicing with the team I think it's Boeser, Miller, Benn, Schmidt, and Vesey who aren't yet on the covid list?

Podkolzin now has to come in on an ELC next year and be a middle six hit for Vancouver without question. There is no margin for error now. No pressure, Vasily!


This team has no plan

Is Seattle’s management group expected to be sane? Like I somewhat randomly (I’m Australian, picked on uniforms, city being progressive/somewhere I’d like to visit, and liking the Sedins) chose to support the Canucks in like 2008 or something.

I don’t like to be a bandwaggoner, but man is it hard to support such a poorly run team. Like if I had deep family connections or the like sure, but when a factor of the team I picked was “Orcas are cool”, well you can’t get much cooler than a kracken..

No, you're not going anywhere. Take the pain, coward!

Canucks gonna finish the season out with 19 games in 31 days after the entire team had covid. Seems smart! I think they have 25 stooges syndrome...

Our super nice reputation is a facade, we're all secretly very jealous of Americans.

I'm only jealous of exactly one thing: they have Hawaii. But I'm still patiently waiting for us to annex Turks and Caicos like they asked us to, and then all that jealousy will be gone.

Anyway, fire Benning

Also, this mess wouldn't be as much of a mess if the NHL went for a 48 game schedule from the outset like I was screaming about months ago when the Wild, etc. were getting squeezed.

I don't know how to describe this respectfully, but it seems like there was an allegation of sexual assault against Jake Virtanen.

The survivor wrote to an account that posts survivor's stories anonymously, she did not want it widely reposted so the story and details have been removed; in possibly unrelated news virtanen has deleted all his social media.

I don't think he was actually named but obviously everyone is speculating.

Good morning everyone. For the first time in franchise history the Canucks have missed the playoffs in 5 of 6 seasons. Jim Benning is the team's second longest tenured general manager (7 years). He is still employed by the team.

Best part:

quote:

This has been a bit of a tough stretch for us,” said Canucks captain Bo Horvat. “Most of us got a potentially life threatening disease, then we had to play an exhausting amount of games in a ridiculously short time span. Now it looks like we’ll be playing this season forever, in a meaningless Sisyphean struggle where we slowly get our souls crushed and bear witness to the true banality of capitalism.”
