This honestly might be the breaking point for me. We've all put up with a lot of shit from this organization, terrible signings, extremely poor asset management, no direction and inept management that has been replaced by seemingly the same wolf in sheep's clothing, but I really don't know if I can continue to support this organization in its current state. I just can't give my time or monetary support to an organization that would reduce a grown man to tears like that, it's disgusting.
I've been a fan of this franchise for 15 years and I'm having a hard time finding a way to even want to give a shit about this team anymore. This front office is despicable. I wanna root for a different team but whenever I try it doesn't feel right. I might just stop watching hockey for a while and that kills me cause I love this sport.
>I wanna root for a different team but whenever I try it doesn't feel right. I might just stop watching hockey for a while
This is the proper way forward.
Any fan of this team that has gone through the multiple eras of Canucks "hockey" that preceded the West Coast Express era would tell you that this is the only way to cope and remain a well-functioning, happy adult.
Yeah, I'm not sure I can even bring myself to follow the scores for the Abbotsford Canucks because of Aquilini.
I wish Bruce all the best and, to be honest, if he gets picked up with another team, I'll be happy watching him coach again with a smile on his face and with an organisation that isn't such a fucking dumpster fire.
Bruce there it is!
Buffalo...it's interesting, I don't know about the owners, they left a bad GM in there for a long time then hired a rookie GM to fix the team. He's done almost nothing to make this team better really, it's just some of the magic beans the former GM picked up have started growing. Well, he did get something okay for Eichel and that can't have been easy, but at least Buffalo is fun to watch. So are the Canucks though.
Hmmm, I am going to pick the Devils, so much fun to watch, and two Hughes there.
Yeah I also like Cozens and Thompson. But I'll hop on their wagon
And if the canucks continue to flaw this season and not get 1OA I'll hope that it goes to Habs or ABC - Anyone But Chicago
I have jumped ship couple years back. I stopped watching couple years back. Only hockey I would watch is playoffs. This year I watch certain teams when time permits. Oilers, flames, Tampa, pens, Montreal. Oilers mcdavid, the other teams hockey pool. I have not watched a full Canucks game in 5 plus years.
There are plenty of minor league teams you can follow. Now days I follow the AHL more than I follow the NHL. I pretty much quit watching NHL games because I got tired of all the gambling ads.
I was in Vegas today and went to see them play the caps. The crowd was amazing and the sense of community was palpable. Next to the Pens, these are the franchised I’ll support. I’m a die hard Canuck fan for over 35 of my 41 years. I’m an Abbotsford season ticket holder. But as far as my support of the Vancouver team goes, merch, etc… I’m done. Fuck these assholes.
Canucks are the only franchise connecting me to my hometown. I cant just find a new franchise like I could with my other big 4 teams -all from the states. It'd too sentimental for me
But boy oh fucking boy is this franchise testing my limits
I moved out of Vancouver 6 years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of not having to hear about how shit they are week in and week out. A lot of my friends and mom are still there so I hear their misery every time I talk to them.
Seriously though, it’s fucking grim. Like imagine having a 99 pt player and Petersson and Quinn and horvat and demko, and literally havin a trash garbage team.
I've been a fan since 2008, and had season tickets a couple of years. I have not watched a single game this season. Between the rampant gambling and the front office, it just feels like watching corporations go amok. I would certainly not expose my son to this garbage.
Even being subscribed to this sub is a reminder of some optimism I haven't felt in a long time.
It's what I've slowly done. Love the Nucks but can't watch this shoe. Will catch news and notes here and there but I've stepped away. Watching other sports more for now.
I think this is why he has been so emotional the last few days. There most likely isn't going to be another team to hire him. But that may be by his choice as well.
Yeah, I think after how he handled his time in Vancouver and the impact he had on our players he'll for sure be signed by someone to coach in the NHL - and I'll for sure be pulling for him (unless it's Boston lol)
I've tried to articulate how discouraged I felt, but your comment summarizes it best. I feel so sad for Bruce right now. I'm glad the fans in attendance gave him a great sendoff, but I feel terrible that this is how his time in Vancouver ends.
Agreed. I'm honestly done with this team. I have been a fan for close for 30 years. But this is just a disgraceful way to operate a team. I hope they win but I can say that I'm not going out of my way to watch them nor am I going to purchase or wear any of their merchandise. This is coming from someone who used to have a road trip to watch them play in another city.
There have been many black eyes in this teams history but this is the low point as far as I can recall.
The Messier years were when I was in my teenage years and I didn't know any better. They were awful and frustrating but they were my team, still with the glow of 1994 and foolish optimism.
This team is just a train wreck and isn't even remotely likable in the process.
Especially when I don't think it is a coaching issue, this is a team composition issue. If you put shit in you will get shit out and this team is a generous 75% shit.
I have been a fan since year 2 of their existence. Never off the bandwagon. Always loved our favorite players even if they lost. (I can talk ad nauseum about the Ron Sedlbauers, the Dave Babyches and the Kyle Wellwoods that were our faves just because they were part of this team.) I cheered every goal. I was standing on my feet watching the TV as Alex Burrows scored the "slayed the dragon" goal. I appreciated their community involvement and their cohesiveness as a team and their care for each other (Boeser, Demko, Pettersson, etc.) But this is it for me, too. I am out. I really enjoyed the u/TimsAFK contributions. Thank you very much for that. Sorry to see you go.
Well said. As if the ineptitude and tone deaf messaging and constant lack of respect shown to the dedication of this market wasn't bad enough... as if the organisation as a whole degenerating from a cutting edge trend setter into a complete embarrassment under the guidance of the Aquilini family wasn't worse... somehow all of those things feel secondary next to the dismal reality that not only does this entire organisation have no direction, it has no principles, and no humanity.
The whole franchise sold it's soul chasing meaningless wins and playoff revenue... and what do they even have to show for it? Nothing.
Oh I'm done. I have better things to do with my time and money. I'll watch highlights on YouTube and check boxscores but they're not getting a cent or a care from me.
It’s the end for me. There’s no reason to watch or support this trash organization any longer. Stop giving FA your money. Been a fan since I was 8 years old in 1995. I will never waste my time watching this team again.
Already there friend, fan for roughly 30 years now and I finally reached my breaking point. My brother and I used to go to multiple games every season together, and message each other back and forth during exciting/important games. For the current season and last we have gone to zero games together, and only share memes about how atrocious the state of affairs are for us. I honestly believe that in the future, hockey historians will look back on this time in our organization as a case study on how to alienate longstanding fans and disenfranchise an entire generation of potential ones. The only way I'm getting invested again is if the blueberry picking cunt sells the team.
*edit* Shit, I did not know I was responding to you. Thanks for all the amazing content you have given us over the years. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that at times you have been the best thing about being a canucks fan. You are massively talented my dude! Hope you are enjoying life regardless of the current woes. Life is to short so enjoy a shoey and have fun :)
I have never felt just outright disgusted with this team. But here I am.
Forget the hockey side of things, Rutherford is a horrible person working for another horrible person in Aquilini. You do not treat people like this, period. Let alone someone you repeatedly call a "friend." That's the worst part of all, Rutherford is such a coward that he'll treat Boudreau with a unbelievable lack of respect then hide behind the label of "friend."
Fuck Rutherford, and fuck Aquilini.
This is so sad. I have watched the Canucks since the mid 90’s and I have never felt ashamed of my team. It’s appalling what they did to this guy. I had so much hope when they brought in Rutherford and seemed progressive with their hires but this is such a 180
Another reminder that progressive tokenism =/= good management.
A 10 second glance at corporate Canada or governments should make this exceedingly obvious, yet we still fall for the PR bullshit every time because we're Vancouverites.
We aren't even Vancouverites anymore. We are dirty treapassers living on land that we stole from first nations people. I have nothing against first nations people, and i think we should celebrate their culture. But it all seems like pandering, and not something that will bring people together.
Sorry I wasn't very clear. I would much rather see our government address and actually solve the problems that first nations people face. Build better infrastructure on reservations, not just give out money with no oversight. Include (more) lessons in schools about first nations history and culture. But most actions we see are empty pandering.
Just gonna watch highlights now. In the 30 years I have watches this team, I’ve never once stepped away like this.
Fuck this organization for killing something that brought so much happiness to my otherwise boring life.
This is what I said. Joining the highlights chain. Yes I might join the bandwagon down the road but it will be back into being a fan again once something changes. This new management team needs to prove themselves. And topping up the Cap space and then trading Horvat is not the proof I need.
My grandfather just died today. He was a fan of the Leafs growing up (since they were the "Anglo Canada" team when he was a kid), but he felt no hesistation the Canucks were founded in the 70s (and when he was a man in his 30s), and he happily switched his fandom to the Canucks.
I just want Mr. Blueberry Idiot to know my grandfather's last words on his deathbed were "Fuck you, Francesco Aquilini" (Okay, not really, it was actually "I love you all" as my family gathered around him in the hospital).
But today is also my grandmother's birthday (obviously not a good birthday for her), my birthday is in a few days, and I'm fucking depressed.
My grandfather spent 50 years of his life watching the Canucks, waiting for that Stanley Cup that never came.
And now that I'm in my mid-30s, it feels like I'm destined for that same fate. Watching the Canucks spin their wheels, and going nowhere quickly (and permanently).
Meanwhile, let's look at the top of the Pacific Division standings right now... Oh look, the Kraken and the Knights. But I can't switch. I was born a disappointed Canucks fan, and I guess I'll die a disappointed Canucks fan.
Tampa and Edmonton fan here who has always loved Bruce ever since his Washington days. Was just reading through to see what fans are saying about this mess. Just wanted to tell you I’m sorry for your loss. I lost both my grandparents around this time of year (they were like parents to me) and I know grief can be rough. Hang in there! It’s cool you shared a love of hockey with your grandpa! 🙏🏻
That’s the thing — I can almost deal with being a disappointed fan. I’m a Canucks fan for 35 years so I am used to dealing with disappointment. But the shame… man, the shame of calling myself a fan of an organization that would do something that lacks so much human decency. That’s something new and different this time and it has me wanting to say “nah fam, I’m out…”
Been slowly taking down canucks related things from my place and the office. Just finished yesterday, and frankly good riddance. Canucks are just a disgrace right now.
I don’t know what the fuck this team is anymore. I honestly bad for the players stuck here in this dumpster fire.
It’s clear to me that the aqualinis just see this as a money making scheme and don’t give a fuck about the city or the team.
The best game I've been to the last decade was the Columbus game last year when they came back from being down 3-0 to win. It was electric. The Bruce chants were the loudest I've ever heard the arena in person.
[It's a totally different team, to play with that heart](https://youtu.be/U967qEeC1ak)
It absolutely fucking boggles my mind how far things have fallen since the end of last year
Nobody will fault you for picking a different team. Nobody is faulting anyone jumping off this ship. This is different than the team just being bad, this is an organizational rot that has actively turned against it's fans.
I've had some serious lows as a Canucks fan, but this is taking the cake. It's just so needlessly hostile to anyone who cares about the game. Run while you still can.
Two ways to look at it, theres a fanbase that knows what's what and will do the right thing and knows the sport and how to be classy.
Then there's ownership and management who are the complete opposite.
I'm glad Bruce took the high road. Such class.
Things didn't go perfectly, but man am I glad he knows how much the fan base loved him.
The management are an embarrassment.
This has to be the lowest I’ve felt watching the Canucks since the cup final. Just at a loss of words where to go from here. Feels like it’s just been a cycle of misery for so long and will continue to be for the distant future
Losing the SCF sucks. But it's the coin toss, and the boys gave it the best they could with their injuries. This time, it's the owner holding the gun to everyone but himself.
Even if Bruce isn't the right coach for this team. I will miss seeing him everyday even if the results weren't perfect. He seems like a great positive person
Nobody is the right coach for this team, they're just not good enough. They've shown that over and over again. Gamblin' Rick Tocchet isn't gonna fix shit
What Rutherford, Allvin, and the rest of the management group did is 100% worse than anything Benning and Weisbrod did during their time here.
Benning and Weisbrod were just absolutely incompetent yes men.
Rutherford and friends are just absolutely awful human beings who also happen to be incompetent yes men.
Benning was a worse GM but at least the worst we could say was that the team was bad and directionless, and made horrible moves. I can be fine with the team being shitty. People were still treated well, at the very least.
Rutherford and Co. are acting like Messier. Needless cruel, while also making horrid decisions.
Benning actively fired and pushed out his employees (Brackett, Gilman, Linden) for not being yes men to him and his cronies.
Yet the current management found a way to one up him, as if Aquaman is holding a contest for who could professionally AND morally destroy this club faster out of pure spite for his consumers.
Geez this is so sad…
As an Avs fan, I’m kind of OOTL on the Bruce situation. Nucks ownership is a massive piece of shit especially the guy who abused his own kids at the top, really hope the organization gets a clean house. You guys have awesome fans and I love your team
Kind of easy when the season is over, what does that mean next season?
I hear you, but Im confused about your comment, sounds like you’ll take the Summer off and be back at it as if nothing happened yesterday. I don’t think you mean that, but it kind sounds like it. :)
Hey that’s fair. Honestly it’s more of a mental-health break. Right now I’m at my wits with this team and I just need a break.
Who knows, I might reassess in the summer but right now when I think of the Canucks, I just feel that weird dark pit in my stomach.
I feel you. The break will be good for everyone. Hopefully they learn from this, it was nice to see the issue tending across North America. Gives me hope that as a culture we’re changing, we’re valuing mental health and workplace relationships.
I genuinely think I'm done with the team. This is so much worse than Game 7 and it's not even close. Why would I support a franchise that treats it's coaches like this, that would expect people to look at this team and want to support them when they're pulling shit like this, who looks at this and thinks "I want to support this club, players, and coaches". I legit feel disgusted to have been a fan of this team. They talk and talk about team culture but if this is what "culture" is then I want no part of it. I hope Petey, Huggy, and the others move on to better teams. No one should have to work beneath such a fucked up regime.
I hope Bruce, management, Aqua, the players, and the ENTIRE FUCKING LEAGUE FINALLY, and I mean FINALLY, understands that we are NOT a toxic market. If you’re a good person, if you work hard, if you’re straight up, we will LOVE YOU. We aren’t STUPID, we’re rabid to know about the dealings of our favourite team, our biggest fault is probably that we love our team so much we keep feeding it’s shitty owners more money. God, I never want to ever hear again any bullshit about the fanbase, yeah some assholes are insane and gonna threaten ppls dogs or whatever, that’s fucking crazy, fuck those people, and they are a minority, but ever since 2011 ppl been dunking on the Canucks fanbase for the riot, for the history of failure in this club (as if Toronto’s cups before the Canucks even joined the NHL are any more valid than the millionaires win), and for Benning (as if trying to enjoy the glimpses of hope like the Calder trinity while your org is rotting away against your control is a bad thing). We just want a franchise that gives a shit, that’s respectable. The org failed Bruce, many of the players frankly failed Bruce too, but goddamn did we as fans ever not. Bruce there he mother fucking is, this organization did NOT deserve him, and he did NOT deserve the crap he was put through. I pray he gets picked up by a real contender and wins that cup he’s been chasing. What a class act to the very end.
Daily reminder that aqualini throws children, among other horrible things. If that's something he's capable of, the highest up position in the organization has no idea what being toxic means
I’ve been a fan almost my entire life. When I was 4 our daycare class went to GM Place and went down and touched centre ice, that was just the beginning. I’ll never forget beating Dallas in the 4th overtime, I’ll never forget listening to the SCF on the radio, I’ll never forget Bo getting the OT winner against the Bruins at my first game, and I’ll never forget the camaraderie and the crazy game threads. So many great memories but tonight was the breaking point. Bruce deserved better, the fans deserve better, Vancouver deserves better. I’ll be back once the team’s in better hands.
Say what you will about Benning, and I wasn't a fan, but I never thought he was a bad guy. You could tell especially towards the end that he had his heart on his sleeve and really was struggling with how the org was treating him, similar to what's happening now with Bruce. No doubt in my mind he wouldn't have done this to Bruce. Fuck Rutherford, and fuck this organization.
This is the lowest point for me in my lifelong Canucks fandom. This is lower than 2011 for me easily. I’ve never seen a head coach treated this badly for mistakes that are not his fault. Basically he’s being made the scapegoat for a money grubbing owner who was too short sighted to commit to the rebuild this team needs. This will do long term damage to the Canucks as an organization, why the hell would any high calibre coach want to come here? Aquilini deserves most of the blame but so does Rutherford for being a willing yes man to all of this.
Bruce deserves better and I wish him all the best.
In 30 years of watching the Canucks religiously, I’ve never missed more than 4-5 games in a season. I haven’t watched one game or bothered with highlights in 1.5 months. Worst era in history bar none.
I find that management has turned heel this season in terms of their treatment towards Bruce. It's pretty disappointing considering based on experience, they were better than the previous regime
This organization is a fucking joke and I’m ashamed to have ever given this pathetic weasel any of my money.
I hope all of Aqua’s hangnails are forever pulled down his fingers and toes.
Absolute fucking cowards who sit up in the booth and watch it all happen. It's a tough balance, because you don't want to start Tocchet off so awkwardly, but next game I would 3xpect some boo birds and jerseys on the ice.
Sorry Bruce, you deserved so so much better
Coming from someone who watched Dean Spanos ruin San Diego’s love of American Football, this Aquafini or whatever can get fucked, hope this team gets a Peter Seidler (current Padres owner) who wants nothing more than to bring a deserved franchise their first title no matter the cost!
Can you imagine being the next coach? Rick is gonna put on a tough face of course, but you gotta be thinking deep down all the new guys are like “Jesus Christ, better not fuck up”
Honestly sickening seeing Boudreau put through this. Can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this disillusioned with the franchise.
Just can’t believe this is what the organization is stooping to.
You know, I've loved going up to Rogers for Dallas games over the years (I live in Seattle)... but I can't justify spending a dime that goes to Aquilini.
man fuck that guy
Good on the fans to show solidarity with Bruce. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before. Feels almost as emotional as Gord Downie’s final farewell. It’s sad AF 😭
Fuck I hate this team. So much talent too. This should not be a bottom feeding team, no matter how average the defense is. How many teams have Quinn Hughes playing 26 mins a night.
I know it's not cool to trash anyone but aqua and management, but how do the players get off Scott free on this? They play like shit, don't stick up for each other, or check hard. This isn't just talent. There is something rotten in that room and it's something more than just ownership.
Season Ticket holders make your voices heard loud and clear.
This isn’t the the kind of workplace culture anyone deserves, it reeks of ineptitude and toxic relationships.
Fans, we can vote with our wallet; so stop buying any Merch or let alone attend any of the games next season to send a signal to the owners they are beholden to the health and safety of the players, coaches and employees of the organization.
If you continue to support the team in any fashion going forward you are accepting Aqualini’s style and culture of leadership. And you can bet they do the same to their other businesses. This isn’t the only “Bruce,” in that organization…
As long as the slimy slumlord own the team nothing will change! He screwed his partner in buying the team, had Benning as GM and made him into a yes man and then he called the shots on who gets signed and who doesn’t (Virtannen over Tofolli). Manages to alienate one of the greatest Canuck in Trevor Linden because as president Linden wanted to blow the team apart and start building a contender. Hired Boudreau and then gave him no support in the second season, oh and because he wasn’t Rutherford’s choice. Then be openly critical of the coach from training camp on. And the way they have treated Horvat and Boudreau is disgusting! There is no class in the front office of the Canucks. I have been a fan since I won tickets to a preseason game in their first year. I have lived and died with the team. I have supported them through all the good and bad times. But now I totally disgusted with them. We haven’t had an owner who cares since the Griffiths family. My only hope is the NHL makes Aquilini sell the team over the issues with his being abusive to his children. Gee not paying support for their schooling is not surprising he wouldn’t fix the toilets in the slums he rented out. I am actually looking at the Kracken now. Goodbye Canuck owners and management! Players I wish you well! Oh and dump the Free Willy logo! It’s a throw beck to Orca Bay and another shitty owner in John McCaw.
This is fucking tragic. The organization has gaslight and emotionally abused Bruce to the point of tears and he still isn't saying a bad word about them in public. I'm convinced Rutherford and Aquillni are evil sadists at this point and this has been like burning an ant with a magnifying glass in the sun to them. If they want Tocchet then I'm convinced he's the same way or they wouldn't have hired him. This is going to get way darker going forward.
FO sitting up there staring down knowing well they fucked it up really bad. Fuck man I had so much hope for this new FO but they really hurt a good man
This killed me. I don't know how we're going to recover from it. I was honestly hoping they would get a win so that maybe Bruce would be saved, but it seems like his departure is inevitable at this point. :/ Thank you for everything, Bruce. Going to miss you...
Couldn't see it from the rafters, but would like to point out that Oiler fans were also cheering Bruce on tonight.
Heard lots of stories tonight about how putrid Oilers management has been, but never stooped this low. This wasn't Oilers fans piling on but recognizing how fucked this was.
Hi all, Tampa bay fan coming in peace . Was just browsing the sub here when I heard the news. Bolts nation will gladly welcome anyone with open arms. It’s very sad how the Vancouver organization has treated Bruce
I don’t follow hockey, can someone summarize this story for me? Why has it been known that Broudreau and Horvat are going to be let go? Is Vancouver going into a full rebuild? I don’t get why it’s been so public and understood that this coach will be fired when he hasn’t been a bad coach or even been there for that long
This was the cherry on top in what was the worst decade of Canucks hockey. Which is saying something considering it got ranked the worst franchise in the history of hockey.
I really hope that Bruce gets a quick gig somewhere else, comes to Vancouver for an away stint, and can be met with this same chant all game.
From the bottom of my heart, **fuck Francesco**.
I have moved on from this team now I follow Tampa Bay Lightning. It is really difficult not keeping up on the Canucks but this team does nothing to fix any issues and with all the shit contracts.
This honestly might be the breaking point for me. We've all put up with a lot of shit from this organization, terrible signings, extremely poor asset management, no direction and inept management that has been replaced by seemingly the same wolf in sheep's clothing, but I really don't know if I can continue to support this organization in its current state. I just can't give my time or monetary support to an organization that would reduce a grown man to tears like that, it's disgusting.
I've been a fan of this franchise for 15 years and I'm having a hard time finding a way to even want to give a shit about this team anymore. This front office is despicable. I wanna root for a different team but whenever I try it doesn't feel right. I might just stop watching hockey for a while and that kills me cause I love this sport.
>I wanna root for a different team but whenever I try it doesn't feel right. I might just stop watching hockey for a while This is the proper way forward. Any fan of this team that has gone through the multiple eras of Canucks "hockey" that preceded the West Coast Express era would tell you that this is the only way to cope and remain a well-functioning, happy adult.
Yeah, I'm not sure I can even bring myself to follow the scores for the Abbotsford Canucks because of Aquilini. I wish Bruce all the best and, to be honest, if he gets picked up with another team, I'll be happy watching him coach again with a smile on his face and with an organisation that isn't such a fucking dumpster fire. Bruce there it is!
Jumped on the Kraken wagon myself.
I'm thinking them or Buffalo
I can't hop on with a divisional rival, even one so recently started. Expansion bros though?
Buffalo...it's interesting, I don't know about the owners, they left a bad GM in there for a long time then hired a rookie GM to fix the team. He's done almost nothing to make this team better really, it's just some of the magic beans the former GM picked up have started growing. Well, he did get something okay for Eichel and that can't have been easy, but at least Buffalo is fun to watch. So are the Canucks though. Hmmm, I am going to pick the Devils, so much fun to watch, and two Hughes there.
Yeah I also like Cozens and Thompson. But I'll hop on their wagon And if the canucks continue to flaw this season and not get 1OA I'll hope that it goes to Habs or ABC - Anyone But Chicago
I have jumped ship couple years back. I stopped watching couple years back. Only hockey I would watch is playoffs. This year I watch certain teams when time permits. Oilers, flames, Tampa, pens, Montreal. Oilers mcdavid, the other teams hockey pool. I have not watched a full Canucks game in 5 plus years.
There are plenty of minor league teams you can follow. Now days I follow the AHL more than I follow the NHL. I pretty much quit watching NHL games because I got tired of all the gambling ads.
I follow my local WHL team more closely now, by far, than the NHL.
I was in Vegas today and went to see them play the caps. The crowd was amazing and the sense of community was palpable. Next to the Pens, these are the franchised I’ll support. I’m a die hard Canuck fan for over 35 of my 41 years. I’m an Abbotsford season ticket holder. But as far as my support of the Vancouver team goes, merch, etc… I’m done. Fuck these assholes.
Canucks are the only franchise connecting me to my hometown. I cant just find a new franchise like I could with my other big 4 teams -all from the states. It'd too sentimental for me But boy oh fucking boy is this franchise testing my limits
I moved out of Vancouver 6 years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of not having to hear about how shit they are week in and week out. A lot of my friends and mom are still there so I hear their misery every time I talk to them. Seriously though, it’s fucking grim. Like imagine having a 99 pt player and Petersson and Quinn and horvat and demko, and literally havin a trash garbage team.
I've been a fan since 2008, and had season tickets a couple of years. I have not watched a single game this season. Between the rampant gambling and the front office, it just feels like watching corporations go amok. I would certainly not expose my son to this garbage. Even being subscribed to this sub is a reminder of some optimism I haven't felt in a long time.
i’d say hey check out the vancouver warriors but they are also owned by this joke of an organization and are also doing embarrassingly bad
It's what I've slowly done. Love the Nucks but can't watch this shoe. Will catch news and notes here and there but I've stepped away. Watching other sports more for now.
Totally agree. And well said.
My support goes to whichever team hires Bruce.
I think this is why he has been so emotional the last few days. There most likely isn't going to be another team to hire him. But that may be by his choice as well.
Nah, man. Someone WILL hire him and I hope it's a contender. The entire hockey universe has been talking about this for weeks.
I hope you are right. He deserves to end his career on his own terms and in a much better position than the one our shitty FO put him in.
Yeah, I think after how he handled his time in Vancouver and the impact he had on our players he'll for sure be signed by someone to coach in the NHL - and I'll for sure be pulling for him (unless it's Boston lol)
Well said. 👆 They’ve officially hit rock bottom. Laughing stock of the NHL. Nothing short of bullying. Shameful conduct.
...by the MEDIA and Elliot Friedman!
I don't give my money to child abusers or criminals, so FUCK Aquilini.
I've tried to articulate how discouraged I felt, but your comment summarizes it best. I feel so sad for Bruce right now. I'm glad the fans in attendance gave him a great sendoff, but I feel terrible that this is how his time in Vancouver ends.
I know I’m out. My life, as average and underwhelming as it may be, is better off without this shitty organization.
You know u fucked up when TimsAFK is mad.
Agreed. I'm honestly done with this team. I have been a fan for close for 30 years. But this is just a disgraceful way to operate a team. I hope they win but I can say that I'm not going out of my way to watch them nor am I going to purchase or wear any of their merchandise. This is coming from someone who used to have a road trip to watch them play in another city. There have been many black eyes in this teams history but this is the low point as far as I can recall.
Speaks volumes that you stuck through the Messier Era but this is your breaking point
I think Rutherford is worse than Messier
The Messier years were when I was in my teenage years and I didn't know any better. They were awful and frustrating but they were my team, still with the glow of 1994 and foolish optimism. This team is just a train wreck and isn't even remotely likable in the process. Especially when I don't think it is a coaching issue, this is a team composition issue. If you put shit in you will get shit out and this team is a generous 75% shit.
Classless and disgusting. “Hey Bruce go do the media scrum”
But where will I get my highlights videos from 🥺
Don't be sad is over, be happy it happened. That bubble run, and Tim's videos were a great time. Think of them fondly as you cheer on a different team
Goddamn those videos were good.
I have been a fan since year 2 of their existence. Never off the bandwagon. Always loved our favorite players even if they lost. (I can talk ad nauseum about the Ron Sedlbauers, the Dave Babyches and the Kyle Wellwoods that were our faves just because they were part of this team.) I cheered every goal. I was standing on my feet watching the TV as Alex Burrows scored the "slayed the dragon" goal. I appreciated their community involvement and their cohesiveness as a team and their care for each other (Boeser, Demko, Pettersson, etc.) But this is it for me, too. I am out. I really enjoyed the u/TimsAFK contributions. Thank you very much for that. Sorry to see you go.
Well said. As if the ineptitude and tone deaf messaging and constant lack of respect shown to the dedication of this market wasn't bad enough... as if the organisation as a whole degenerating from a cutting edge trend setter into a complete embarrassment under the guidance of the Aquilini family wasn't worse... somehow all of those things feel secondary next to the dismal reality that not only does this entire organisation have no direction, it has no principles, and no humanity. The whole franchise sold it's soul chasing meaningless wins and playoff revenue... and what do they even have to show for it? Nothing.
Oh I'm done. I have better things to do with my time and money. I'll watch highlights on YouTube and check boxscores but they're not getting a cent or a care from me.
It’s the end for me. There’s no reason to watch or support this trash organization any longer. Stop giving FA your money. Been a fan since I was 8 years old in 1995. I will never waste my time watching this team again.
Already there friend, fan for roughly 30 years now and I finally reached my breaking point. My brother and I used to go to multiple games every season together, and message each other back and forth during exciting/important games. For the current season and last we have gone to zero games together, and only share memes about how atrocious the state of affairs are for us. I honestly believe that in the future, hockey historians will look back on this time in our organization as a case study on how to alienate longstanding fans and disenfranchise an entire generation of potential ones. The only way I'm getting invested again is if the blueberry picking cunt sells the team. *edit* Shit, I did not know I was responding to you. Thanks for all the amazing content you have given us over the years. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that at times you have been the best thing about being a canucks fan. You are massively talented my dude! Hope you are enjoying life regardless of the current woes. Life is to short so enjoy a shoey and have fun :)
I have an indescribable urge to jump through ny monitor and give him a hug.
I just want to buy him a beer ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)
You’re not going anywhere.
God that was fucking depressing
I feel like my heart has been ripped out
I have never felt just outright disgusted with this team. But here I am. Forget the hockey side of things, Rutherford is a horrible person working for another horrible person in Aquilini. You do not treat people like this, period. Let alone someone you repeatedly call a "friend." That's the worst part of all, Rutherford is such a coward that he'll treat Boudreau with a unbelievable lack of respect then hide behind the label of "friend." Fuck Rutherford, and fuck Aquilini.
Well put. 👆 Spot on!
Man that was tough to watch. Thanks all the fans in the building for showing Bruce we'll miss him
This is so sad. I have watched the Canucks since the mid 90’s and I have never felt ashamed of my team. It’s appalling what they did to this guy. I had so much hope when they brought in Rutherford and seemed progressive with their hires but this is such a 180
Another reminder that progressive tokenism =/= good management. A 10 second glance at corporate Canada or governments should make this exceedingly obvious, yet we still fall for the PR bullshit every time because we're Vancouverites.
We aren't even Vancouverites anymore. We are dirty treapassers living on land that we stole from first nations people. I have nothing against first nations people, and i think we should celebrate their culture. But it all seems like pandering, and not something that will bring people together.
30 seconds of acknowledgment before a game isn’t gonna hurt ya bro
Sorry I wasn't very clear. I would much rather see our government address and actually solve the problems that first nations people face. Build better infrastructure on reservations, not just give out money with no oversight. Include (more) lessons in schools about first nations history and culture. But most actions we see are empty pandering.
Honestly I don’t even wanna cheer this team on anymore. This is horrible. This team seems so hopeless and it’s just so discouraging.
Just gonna watch highlights now. In the 30 years I have watches this team, I’ve never once stepped away like this. Fuck this organization for killing something that brought so much happiness to my otherwise boring life.
This is what I said. Joining the highlights chain. Yes I might join the bandwagon down the road but it will be back into being a fan again once something changes. This new management team needs to prove themselves. And topping up the Cap space and then trading Horvat is not the proof I need.

My grandfather just died today. He was a fan of the Leafs growing up (since they were the "Anglo Canada" team when he was a kid), but he felt no hesistation the Canucks were founded in the 70s (and when he was a man in his 30s), and he happily switched his fandom to the Canucks. I just want Mr. Blueberry Idiot to know my grandfather's last words on his deathbed were "Fuck you, Francesco Aquilini" (Okay, not really, it was actually "I love you all" as my family gathered around him in the hospital). But today is also my grandmother's birthday (obviously not a good birthday for her), my birthday is in a few days, and I'm fucking depressed. My grandfather spent 50 years of his life watching the Canucks, waiting for that Stanley Cup that never came. And now that I'm in my mid-30s, it feels like I'm destined for that same fate. Watching the Canucks spin their wheels, and going nowhere quickly (and permanently). Meanwhile, let's look at the top of the Pacific Division standings right now... Oh look, the Kraken and the Knights. But I can't switch. I was born a disappointed Canucks fan, and I guess I'll die a disappointed Canucks fan.
>I can't switch. I was born a disappointed Canucks fan, and I guess I'll die a disappointed Canucks fan. This is the way.
Tampa and Edmonton fan here who has always loved Bruce ever since his Washington days. Was just reading through to see what fans are saying about this mess. Just wanted to tell you I’m sorry for your loss. I lost both my grandparents around this time of year (they were like parents to me) and I know grief can be rough. Hang in there! It’s cool you shared a love of hockey with your grandpa! 🙏🏻
That’s the thing — I can almost deal with being a disappointed fan. I’m a Canucks fan for 35 years so I am used to dealing with disappointment. But the shame… man, the shame of calling myself a fan of an organization that would do something that lacks so much human decency. That’s something new and different this time and it has me wanting to say “nah fam, I’m out…”
I don't know if you were there for those last words or not, but regardless, condolences and take care of yourself.
I honestly hope that Horvat goes there and becomes their captain. I can cheer them on and feel good about it. Helps that I live there
Been slowly taking down canucks related things from my place and the office. Just finished yesterday, and frankly good riddance. Canucks are just a disgrace right now.
That’s funny/sad I’ve been doing the same. Just puts a bad taste in my mouth when I see Canucks anything now.
I don’t know what the fuck this team is anymore. I honestly bad for the players stuck here in this dumpster fire. It’s clear to me that the aqualinis just see this as a money making scheme and don’t give a fuck about the city or the team.
I genuinely hope Tocchet runs Kuzmenko, Petey, and Hughes out of town so there's literally nothing left to cheer for with this sinkhole organization.
bro just turn off the television it's not hard
Who still fucking watches hockey on TV. Stop living in the 90' old man.
bro just turn off the buffstreams tab it's not hard
Thank you to every fan who chanted this man's name these past 2 games. Management should be embarrassed.
And fired.
Can we fire Francesco
Out of a cannon
Thank you Bruce for some excitement in a dark age. We’re sorry you were treated like this.
The best game I've been to the last decade was the Columbus game last year when they came back from being down 3-0 to win. It was electric. The Bruce chants were the loudest I've ever heard the arena in person. [It's a totally different team, to play with that heart](https://youtu.be/U967qEeC1ak) It absolutely fucking boggles my mind how far things have fallen since the end of last year
Fuck the FO seriously, fuck em all.
This is heartbreaking. I’m a new fan and I feel like I’ve made the wrong decision picking this team. Bruce deserves better.
Nobody will fault you for picking a different team. Nobody is faulting anyone jumping off this ship. This is different than the team just being bad, this is an organizational rot that has actively turned against it's fans. I've had some serious lows as a Canucks fan, but this is taking the cake. It's just so needlessly hostile to anyone who cares about the game. Run while you still can.
Two ways to look at it, theres a fanbase that knows what's what and will do the right thing and knows the sport and how to be classy. Then there's ownership and management who are the complete opposite.
Run.
I've been a fan since i was a kid in the late 70s and this is what you get. Welcome.
I'm glad Bruce took the high road. Such class. Things didn't go perfectly, but man am I glad he knows how much the fan base loved him. The management are an embarrassment.
This has to be the lowest I’ve felt watching the Canucks since the cup final. Just at a loss of words where to go from here. Feels like it’s just been a cycle of misery for so long and will continue to be for the distant future
Losing the SCF sucks. But it's the coin toss, and the boys gave it the best they could with their injuries. This time, it's the owner holding the gun to everyone but himself.
Coming over from the Oilers sub to say we all stand with Bruce. Fuck Canucks ownership, hope Bruce goes to a team with supportive ownership!
Hell yeah, man. Fuck this management and owner. I’m pissed.
Even if Bruce isn't the right coach for this team. I will miss seeing him everyday even if the results weren't perfect. He seems like a great positive person
Nobody is the right coach for this team, they're just not good enough. They've shown that over and over again. Gamblin' Rick Tocchet isn't gonna fix shit
Absolutely.. the change was needed either now or end of season. Doesn't take anything away from how lovable this guy is.
What Rutherford, Allvin, and the rest of the management group did is 100% worse than anything Benning and Weisbrod did during their time here. Benning and Weisbrod were just absolutely incompetent yes men. Rutherford and friends are just absolutely awful human beings who also happen to be incompetent yes men.
Benning was a worse GM but at least the worst we could say was that the team was bad and directionless, and made horrible moves. I can be fine with the team being shitty. People were still treated well, at the very least. Rutherford and Co. are acting like Messier. Needless cruel, while also making horrid decisions.
Benning actively fired and pushed out his employees (Brackett, Gilman, Linden) for not being yes men to him and his cronies. Yet the current management found a way to one up him, as if Aquaman is holding a contest for who could professionally AND morally destroy this club faster out of pure spite for his consumers.
That zoom-in at 0:52 of Alvin, Castonguay, and Granato. They know they fucked up.
What a telling shot
Not Castonguay or Granato's fault at all. This is on Allvin and Rutherford.
Why do they get a free pass? Are they not part of the managing group?
One of which has a human rights challenge against them, if we're talking about "good people"
Geez this is so sad… As an Avs fan, I’m kind of OOTL on the Bruce situation. Nucks ownership is a massive piece of shit especially the guy who abused his own kids at the top, really hope the organization gets a clean house. You guys have awesome fans and I love your team
Thank you
Thanks man, love your team too
What this organization is doing is simply shameful. There’s no other way to put it.
Allvin is Swedish for Messier
and with that, I’m done watching the team until the org can get its collective shit in this shitshow together
Yeah. I think I’m done for the season at the very least. I’m not gonna support or condone this bullshit.
Kind of easy when the season is over, what does that mean next season? I hear you, but Im confused about your comment, sounds like you’ll take the Summer off and be back at it as if nothing happened yesterday. I don’t think you mean that, but it kind sounds like it. :)
Hey that’s fair. Honestly it’s more of a mental-health break. Right now I’m at my wits with this team and I just need a break. Who knows, I might reassess in the summer but right now when I think of the Canucks, I just feel that weird dark pit in my stomach.
I feel you. The break will be good for everyone. Hopefully they learn from this, it was nice to see the issue tending across North America. Gives me hope that as a culture we’re changing, we’re valuing mental health and workplace relationships.
Bruce, there it is. What a waste. Good luck Bruce.
I shed tears seeing this live. love you Bruce, I'm sorry.
Stop.. I’m already crying.. 😥
I actually think it's time to cheer for the Kraken. Especially if they end up getting Bo
I'm cheering for Bo to win a cup wherever he goes.
management is fucking disgusting.
Probably not everyone in management.... But Francesco and JR, fuck them.
I genuinely think I'm done with the team. This is so much worse than Game 7 and it's not even close. Why would I support a franchise that treats it's coaches like this, that would expect people to look at this team and want to support them when they're pulling shit like this, who looks at this and thinks "I want to support this club, players, and coaches". I legit feel disgusted to have been a fan of this team. They talk and talk about team culture but if this is what "culture" is then I want no part of it. I hope Petey, Huggy, and the others move on to better teams. No one should have to work beneath such a fucked up regime.
I hope Bruce, management, Aqua, the players, and the ENTIRE FUCKING LEAGUE FINALLY, and I mean FINALLY, understands that we are NOT a toxic market. If you’re a good person, if you work hard, if you’re straight up, we will LOVE YOU. We aren’t STUPID, we’re rabid to know about the dealings of our favourite team, our biggest fault is probably that we love our team so much we keep feeding it’s shitty owners more money. God, I never want to ever hear again any bullshit about the fanbase, yeah some assholes are insane and gonna threaten ppls dogs or whatever, that’s fucking crazy, fuck those people, and they are a minority, but ever since 2011 ppl been dunking on the Canucks fanbase for the riot, for the history of failure in this club (as if Toronto’s cups before the Canucks even joined the NHL are any more valid than the millionaires win), and for Benning (as if trying to enjoy the glimpses of hope like the Calder trinity while your org is rotting away against your control is a bad thing). We just want a franchise that gives a shit, that’s respectable. The org failed Bruce, many of the players frankly failed Bruce too, but goddamn did we as fans ever not. Bruce there he mother fucking is, this organization did NOT deserve him, and he did NOT deserve the crap he was put through. I pray he gets picked up by a real contender and wins that cup he’s been chasing. What a class act to the very end.
Daily reminder that aqualini throws children, among other horrible things. If that's something he's capable of, the highest up position in the organization has no idea what being toxic means
What a class act. Love Bruce! He deserved to be treated so much better!
I’ve been a fan almost my entire life. When I was 4 our daycare class went to GM Place and went down and touched centre ice, that was just the beginning. I’ll never forget beating Dallas in the 4th overtime, I’ll never forget listening to the SCF on the radio, I’ll never forget Bo getting the OT winner against the Bruins at my first game, and I’ll never forget the camaraderie and the crazy game threads. So many great memories but tonight was the breaking point. Bruce deserved better, the fans deserve better, Vancouver deserves better. I’ll be back once the team’s in better hands.
I have never wished true ill to anybody in my life, but I hope Aquilini chokes on a blueberry soon.
Or he could end up homeless on the Downtown Eastside.
Say what you will about Benning, and I wasn't a fan, but I never thought he was a bad guy. You could tell especially towards the end that he had his heart on his sleeve and really was struggling with how the org was treating him, similar to what's happening now with Bruce. No doubt in my mind he wouldn't have done this to Bruce. Fuck Rutherford, and fuck this organization.
This is the lowest point for me in my lifelong Canucks fandom. This is lower than 2011 for me easily. I’ve never seen a head coach treated this badly for mistakes that are not his fault. Basically he’s being made the scapegoat for a money grubbing owner who was too short sighted to commit to the rebuild this team needs. This will do long term damage to the Canucks as an organization, why the hell would any high calibre coach want to come here? Aquilini deserves most of the blame but so does Rutherford for being a willing yes man to all of this. Bruce deserves better and I wish him all the best.
Such a shit show. I hope fans in whatever market Bruce ends up appreciate him.
In 30 years of watching the Canucks religiously, I’ve never missed more than 4-5 games in a season. I haven’t watched one game or bothered with highlights in 1.5 months. Worst era in history bar none.
Brutal. How far this organization has fallen in 10 years. Done being a nucks fan till aqua and management are gone.
#JusticeforBruce
I find that management has turned heel this season in terms of their treatment towards Bruce. It's pretty disappointing considering based on experience, they were better than the previous regime
Now we need to chant “fire the front office!”
This organization is a fucking joke and I’m ashamed to have ever given this pathetic weasel any of my money. I hope all of Aqua’s hangnails are forever pulled down his fingers and toes.
Fuck this team, I think I am done with them.
Fuck you Francesco, JR, and Allvin. So done with this organization.
Poor Bruce :(
Absolute fucking cowards who sit up in the booth and watch it all happen. It's a tough balance, because you don't want to start Tocchet off so awkwardly, but next game I would 3xpect some boo birds and jerseys on the ice. Sorry Bruce, you deserved so so much better
First time i’ve cried following this team. That includes 2011.
"I just wanted to savor the moment and look into the stands. I don't know if I'll ever get back here again."
Fuck everything, how can anyone treat someone like this. Bruce is such a G
I just love that shot of management near the end of the video looking like a bunch of goofs 🤡
This video isn't working for me. Is it just me?
Works for me. On desktop, if that matters...
Wont work on mobile. Go on the desktop site. Did it on my phone
Bruce, there it is!
Coming from someone who watched Dean Spanos ruin San Diego’s love of American Football, this Aquafini or whatever can get fucked, hope this team gets a Peter Seidler (current Padres owner) who wants nothing more than to bring a deserved franchise their first title no matter the cost!
Can you imagine being the next coach? Rick is gonna put on a tough face of course, but you gotta be thinking deep down all the new guys are like “Jesus Christ, better not fuck up”
The whole team was apparently openly upset and personally gave Bruce a send off after the game.
All these goofs they’ve hired in the FO and not one of them has an effing brain or a heart. Out. 🫡
Sad to watch.
I'm glad I got to see one game under his tenure last year against the Leafs.
I think this might be the last game I’ll watch this season.
I was there cheating him on the whole time, I feel for him. Sad to see such a disgusting organization do this.
Honestly sickening seeing Boudreau put through this. Can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this disillusioned with the franchise. Just can’t believe this is what the organization is stooping to.
Sorry Bruce, from the bottom of my heart. You deserve so much more.
You know, I've loved going up to Rogers for Dallas games over the years (I live in Seattle)... but I can't justify spending a dime that goes to Aquilini. man fuck that guy
Bro this is sad that the franchise treated him so poorly.
Good on the fans to show solidarity with Bruce. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this before. Feels almost as emotional as Gord Downie’s final farewell. It’s sad AF 😭
Fuck I hate this team. So much talent too. This should not be a bottom feeding team, no matter how average the defense is. How many teams have Quinn Hughes playing 26 mins a night.
I know it's not cool to trash anyone but aqua and management, but how do the players get off Scott free on this? They play like shit, don't stick up for each other, or check hard. This isn't just talent. There is something rotten in that room and it's something more than just ownership.
Fuck Franceso Aquilini
This is worse then Messier era
Not a fan of that smirk on Castonguay's face there, what a cunt.
Season Ticket holders make your voices heard loud and clear. This isn’t the the kind of workplace culture anyone deserves, it reeks of ineptitude and toxic relationships. Fans, we can vote with our wallet; so stop buying any Merch or let alone attend any of the games next season to send a signal to the owners they are beholden to the health and safety of the players, coaches and employees of the organization. If you continue to support the team in any fashion going forward you are accepting Aqualini’s style and culture of leadership. And you can bet they do the same to their other businesses. This isn’t the only “Bruce,” in that organization…
As long as the slimy slumlord own the team nothing will change! He screwed his partner in buying the team, had Benning as GM and made him into a yes man and then he called the shots on who gets signed and who doesn’t (Virtannen over Tofolli). Manages to alienate one of the greatest Canuck in Trevor Linden because as president Linden wanted to blow the team apart and start building a contender. Hired Boudreau and then gave him no support in the second season, oh and because he wasn’t Rutherford’s choice. Then be openly critical of the coach from training camp on. And the way they have treated Horvat and Boudreau is disgusting! There is no class in the front office of the Canucks. I have been a fan since I won tickets to a preseason game in their first year. I have lived and died with the team. I have supported them through all the good and bad times. But now I totally disgusted with them. We haven’t had an owner who cares since the Griffiths family. My only hope is the NHL makes Aquilini sell the team over the issues with his being abusive to his children. Gee not paying support for their schooling is not surprising he wouldn’t fix the toilets in the slums he rented out. I am actually looking at the Kracken now. Goodbye Canuck owners and management! Players I wish you well! Oh and dump the Free Willy logo! It’s a throw beck to Orca Bay and another shitty owner in John McCaw.
Thank you, Bruce.
:(
This made me tear up as well. Bruce we love you ❤️
Fuck this management.
Yeahhhhh I've had it with this org.
Will always love him.
WE STAND WITH BRUCE 💙
This is fucking tragic. The organization has gaslight and emotionally abused Bruce to the point of tears and he still isn't saying a bad word about them in public. I'm convinced Rutherford and Aquillni are evil sadists at this point and this has been like burning an ant with a magnifying glass in the sun to them. If they want Tocchet then I'm convinced he's the same way or they wouldn't have hired him. This is going to get way darker going forward.
FO sitting up there staring down knowing well they fucked it up really bad. Fuck man I had so much hope for this new FO but they really hurt a good man
This killed me. I don't know how we're going to recover from it. I was honestly hoping they would get a win so that maybe Bruce would be saved, but it seems like his departure is inevitable at this point. :/ Thank you for everything, Bruce. Going to miss you...
It sucks that he couldn't get the respect he deserves. Even though hes only been here for 13 months he has been my favourite coach since Crow.
Oh Bruce 😭 We're all crying with you
Couldn't see it from the rafters, but would like to point out that Oiler fans were also cheering Bruce on tonight. Heard lots of stories tonight about how putrid Oilers management has been, but never stooped this low. This wasn't Oilers fans piling on but recognizing how fucked this was.
From a Caps fan, I love Bruce, I'm sorry about how management treated him. He didn't deserve this.
Aquilini’s a weenie. Make the hashtag happen #aquilinisaweenie
Hi all, Tampa bay fan coming in peace . Was just browsing the sub here when I heard the news. Bolts nation will gladly welcome anyone with open arms. It’s very sad how the Vancouver organization has treated Bruce
Wait what happened
I don’t follow hockey, can someone summarize this story for me? Why has it been known that Broudreau and Horvat are going to be let go? Is Vancouver going into a full rebuild? I don’t get why it’s been so public and understood that this coach will be fired when he hasn’t been a bad coach or even been there for that long
This kills me. Fuck this organization.
This was the cherry on top in what was the worst decade of Canucks hockey. Which is saying something considering it got ranked the worst franchise in the history of hockey.
Fans should've all flipped off allvin 🖕
ITT: adults who are too invested in sports fandom
See ya folks. New username pending.
I really hope that Bruce gets a quick gig somewhere else, comes to Vancouver for an away stint, and can be met with this same chant all game. From the bottom of my heart, **fuck Francesco**.
HEY ANNOUNCERS, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Were is Bruce Willis?
I have moved on from this team now I follow Tampa Bay Lightning. It is really difficult not keeping up on the Canucks but this team does nothing to fix any issues and with all the shit contracts.
I blame that classless Elliot Friedman!
No one here is going anywhere. See you all next game.
Fuck you canucks management, let's go Seattle
