    it shows 4 players, but the 5th one is tyler myers who is listed as american (born in texas, but raised in canada and plays for them internationally)

  2. Joshybeast93

    They have clones of Elias Petterson. Next they’ll clone T-Rex’s. Boys, we’re near the end times.

  3. shutmethefuckup

    Are the Canucks the *least* Canadian team in the league?

  4. More_Advertising_383

    It would be even more ironic if they didn’t make it out of the first round

  5. The_Bard_of_Vanier

    Dozens of American teams have won cups in the last 20 years with Canadian player majorities. If that’s not ironic, why should this be?

  6. AccomplishedAd4995

    and three out of the four canadians are scratches 😭 so realistically they only have one canadian playing every game

  7. HardOyler

    Almost like rosters are made up of international players and not just players from the country the team is based in and the whole cup drought thing doesn’t matter no matter how hard the Canadian networks are marketing it.

  8. Straight-Plate-5256

    The anti-canadian team to offset the balance of all the American teams winning with Canadian players

  9. Dull-Objective3967

    Why, is it ironic when American teams win with Canadian players, coaches or GMs?

  10. WanderinGreen

    Who cares, hockey transcends borders. They will be honourary Canadians for life if they bring it home

  11. skiitour

    All the other canadian players are on current cup winning teams. How else would they win?

  12. ILSmokeItAll

    Not just 5 Canadians, but ones that are of virtually zero consequence.

  13. God dammit. Does that mean I have to root for them now? Son of a biscuit I think it does

  14. ILSmokeItAll

    Don’t think the Canucks have enough Elias Pettersson on the team.

  15. Suspicious-Dog2876

    There’s only been a handful of cup winners in history that didn’t have majority Canadians so statistically they’re fucked

  16. SINY10306

    54 years…..doubt Canucks fans will complain 

  17. Mooweetye

    What’s with Swedish bros and going to Vancouver?

    First it was Daniel and Henrik Sedin and now these two?

  18. toxicvegeta08

    Toronto and edmonton are mainly Canadian rosters.

    Winnipeg and vc are mainly foreign.

  19. FluidG11

    I mean if it’s ironic then that also says something about every American team who wins with a bunch of Canadians on it

  20. Two identical Swedish superstars on the Canucks? Deja vu!

  21. HockeyNightinJersey

    Some are saying the canucks are America’s team

  22. You’ve won 1 game. Dont get ahead of yourself🤣

  23. LittleLionMan82

    So has it been ironic then that US teams have been winning it for the past 30 years without majority US rosters?

  24. Plastic_Brick_1060

    10000 spoons when all you need is a knife

  25. phantompowered

    More or less ironic than Bruins fans chanting USA?

  26. FredGetson

    Not sure about irony, but it would be something, yep

  27. I just became a Canucks fan for the summer lol

  28. Informal-Pound600

    I’ll take it. Let’s go yankee doodles!

  29. DonatoXIII

    Has any cup winning team regretted the nationality of their players? What are we even talking about here…

    If the Canucks actually win a cup after 50+ years I promise you nobody will say “I wish we had more Canadians”.

  30. Dyldo_II

    Doing it with two Elias Pettersson’s would be impressive too

  31. NorthernMariner

    Maybe not born in Canada but most of these boys Canadian at heart now. Demko for ex loves BC

  32. Mackinnon29E

    That’s crazy, never even heard of the Canadian guys.

  33. twizzjewink

    and Soucy is the only regular player, the rest of them are fairly fringe. Juulsen is good and should be a regular next year. Myers however is both Canadian and American.

  34. Otherwise_Awesome

    Excuse me? Are we assuming they get out of the first round already??!!
