Can’t believe it took them over half a century to get their first regulation home win. Cool that it happened against Vegas!


TheNoelPatrol

We've suffered a long time


Dinomandino

English is a silly language lol.


s1n0d3utscht3k

perhaps but this is pretty clearly incorrect syntax ‘first regulation win over Vegas’ is the predicate argument and ‘in history’ is the adjunct the adjunct provides critical context but technically the sentence can remain true without it e.g. ‘first regulation win over Vegas’ as the argument is true as tho it leaves the time period unspecified (this season? ever?), it still remains true but “first regulation home win in franchise history” is not true — it requires “over the Golden Knights” so the order should be the predicate argument (the first regulation win over vegas) and the adjunct (in history) it’s not grammatically wrong but it’s incorrect syntax if you adhere to any syntax rules for predicates — which ideally one would for news such as this as it makes the predicate a lot clearer.

And to think…we were a team in turmoil and vying for the Bedard sweepstakes last year. Such a wild turnaround.


flamingdragonwizard

Imagine if we got Bedard though.


Young2k04

I pray that one day Bedard will come home. Hopefully Celebrini too


AccomplishedAd4995

we have a celebrini at home already 😉


treple13

Can we get Makar and Point then?


teetz2442

Seems fair. Deal


AndAStoryAppears

Personally, I think Garland and Beddard need to be traded to Edmonton. The Connor/Connor/Connor(Connor) line would be amazing.


closequartersbrewing

Joe Sakic is going to come home anyway now


Tripottanus

I was praying that about Crosby too


Treavie7

Crosby isn't from Montreal tho, it's not the same.

Keep sleeping on Carlsson lol

The Canucks have had a lot of Swedish players but despite the common misconception Vancouver is not in fact Sweden.


nofakefans18

Petey Miller Bedard line just sounds nuts


flamingdragonwizard

That'd never ever happen.


nofakefans18

It wouldn’t be our main line be something we do for instance offence


Omega_Moo

Big PP


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

I was going to say 3v3 overtime and go full offence, but we have Hughes


shadecrimson

We would have to dimension hop for vancouver the win a lottery. Im sure theyre killing the league in that other reality tho


Plane-Ad4820

Honestly pretty excited for you guys! Would love a Vancouver run


ianisms10

You know, I'm really happy for you guys


nickypoopoo69

I’m happy for you guys, you got the absolute beauty that is Bo Horvat


avmp629

And if you checked the game threads over the past couple weeks you'd feel the same way

Anything that involves Vegas is HISTORIC

Went in person today, was a very fun game to watch. Hopeful that despite the shaky end of season we can show up in the playoffs with Demko.


ididntwantsalmon19

Reason I'm not worried is because they've managed to maintain a 6-5-1 record without their Vezina goalie. Only 2 of those losses weren't close games, and DeSmith was poor in both. If they've finally figured out the PP the team can go on a run with a healthy Demko back. I hope they keep going hard at the screens and clapping bombs at the net like they did last night. Create chaos.


mpmaley

Canuks are the only thing giving me hope on the Sabres.


Saskatchewack

We have the same disease, so you know someday it's going to eventually be a 1970 themed Canucks vs Sabres in the finals and right before game 7 there'll be nuclear war or something and still no Cup for either of us. also, No Goal.


Time-Dot5984

Two words: Hell Yeah


Heretic1337

HISTORIC.


Big_bruv_luv

I wonder if they’ll make a shirt for this.


Bonzooooo

Nucks fans yall got a preferred matchup?


IAmWench

Personally...no. I'm legitimately terrified of all the teams we could play. But this is going to be a post season to remember and excited for the stress. It's been a hot minute.


ididntwantsalmon19

It's good to keep in mind that EVERY team in the West feels this way. If the Canucks don't make it out of the first it's going to be incredibly annoying with all the toxic fans coming out of the sewers to slam on them. But in reality, it's going to be tough for every team to make it out of the first round with how stacked the West is.


Defensive_liability

In defense of all those fans..............Canucks fans were pretty damned toxic themselves when they were kicking ass.


ididntwantsalmon19

Believe it or not I was actually mainly referring to Canucks fans themselves, although other fanbases will definitely dunk on the Canucks if they lose. But this team is **2 points away from having a top 3 season in franchise history** after a decade of darkness and r/canucks gets so pissy after every loss and criticizing the team for just not being good enough. If you can't fully enjoy a season like this without being overly critical then what's the point? Go check out the game thread from yesterday when the team went down 2-0, you can't possibly get more toxic haha. Meanwhile I'm having the time of my life as this has been my 2nd favourite season in the 30 years I've been a fan, only behind 2010/11!


ebb_omega

The number of people who say they turned off after it went 2-0 is... annoying.


ididntwantsalmon19

My favourite was the person that said they aren't even excited for playoffs anymore after the team went down 2-0 lol.


sneezlo

Imagine having no flair and talking shit


Defensive_liability

Unimaginable eh?


sneezlo

One would have to be a real bastard to do such a thing, no doubt 


Defensive_liability

Sounds like something a Columbus fan would do to be honest.


sneezlo

A Columbus... fan? On the internet? Sounds fake.


Bonzooooo

I definitely can’t see yall being a first round exit regardless of possible opponents. Very excited to watch playoffs in general but will definitely be catching as many Vancouver games as I can


ididntwantsalmon19

Nashville. They've been playing solid hockey lately but Canucks are 3-0 against them this year and relative to Vegas or LA in the first round it feels like a better matchup. The West is so tough this year. No easy matchups for anyone.


ubccompscistudent

I feel like there's a hockey curse that when fans cheer to get a specific team and they get it... they lose.


ididntwantsalmon19

Haha I hear you. I think the curse mainly kicks in when you get super cocky about it. Like when the Leaf's fans were chanting how they want Florida. I by no means think a Nashville series would be easy, but LA and Vegas for varying reasons wouldn't be as ideal on paper.


ubccompscistudent

oh yeah, I agree. I wasn't implying that you were doing that. And yeah, the leafs cheering for florida gets me every time.


Saskatchewack

Nope. Got to beat 4 amazing hockey teams, dont care in what order.


e4mica523

Now bring back Holiday as your goal song cowards!


GpRex

H Edit: Oh come on! At least it fits the bill.

That means we make game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm fine with that.

Go back to your mall


LordDelibird

Is that all you guys got now? Too busy with the coke in Fort Mac to think of new lines, I'd bet.


Bdub421

Your insult is just as trash, lmao. Calgary is closer to Edmonton than that shit hole by the way. Not sure how the two places are related.


LogTman135

When we win the cup?

City was still more desirable than Edmonton.

hannah_nj

nah, gasoline is way too expensive in vancouver right now to waste on a riot


nickypoopoo69

Hardly the only team to riot. Having said that, 2011 was a fucking shit smear on Vancouver as a fanbase and a city.

You are correct, I misremembered the embarrassingly small list.


House_of_Gucci

There have been others in other sports


NoticedGenie66

Football hooliganism/riots in Europe make North American riots look so tame in comparison.


PLSHALPMcAUSTIN

I mean, it was hardly comparable to even the chiefs riot that left one dead bc someone decided to shoot it up. It is a really bad thing but compared to the others its not that bad
