It's not a stupid argument, it's loser shit for loser teams that will generate a loser culture for a loser fanbase.
Canucks had an awesome culture coming out of the covid era, it just didn't work out. When that happens you have to do a rebuild, which could mean a season with no expectation of making the playoffs. But don't lose on purpose, I'd want nothing to do with that. |
No one's seriously expecting players to lose on purpose. No player would agree to lose on purpose. The league would come after the team with disciplinary action. People are simply venting at the situation and expressing how they WANT the team to lose. Because any long term fan has been through this cycle of mediocrity long enough to understand short term loss is necessary right now, for long term gain. That's all.
Winning games now mean nothing because all it does is remind us how the team will finish in middle of the pack again, just to rinse and repeat again next year with nothing to show for.
This team should be selling and rebuilding, if the byproduct is having half an AHL team (playing their hardest) on the ice, then so be it.

Canucks…win. 
Seventh round shootout win.
Lankinen is quite clutch in shootouts.
45/51 saves for his career in shootouts.

Although with this recent surge of wins, the Canuck thing to do is for owner to now veto anymore trades leading toward a rebuild because this team is an "undefeated contender" now, meaning no half AHL team, meaning no higher percentage of losses (when trying), meaning less likely to draft top 3.

I still think you can play well towards trade deadline, then gets some additional draft picks for players that playoff teams want, and then play some of your prospects for the rest of the season. Just don't let them being in 8th or 9th spot at the trade deadline give you cold feet about the direction that this has to go.

I'm just wondering, if you guys are watching a Canucks game, are you cheering for the opposing team?

I just don’t want them buying at the trade deadline. That’s all I personally am asking for.
Take the 2 firsts and maybe whatever they get for Sherwood and go for it in the next couple years assuming both draft picks have a chance to be roster players.
Hoglander has been nearly invisible since he came back too, that’s unfortunate.

Inherently want them to do well and win, but every win feels futile because it dosen't get us any closer to the cup given the team's situation, especially when I've been a jaded fan for over 30+ years and they have nothing to show for.
Vancouver (tied with Buffalo) is the oldest franchise in the league without a single cup.
At least for me, reg season is boring now. I definitely won't make time to watch all the games. I mostly follow highlights now. But I'm fully locked in during the playoffs... The wins then aren't futile.
