It was preventable….trade Petersson 2023 just before the trade deadling for a center…there you go fixed
Before watching the video the title is everything. As a life long fan going on 45 now,. God it hurts my soul. Shannon gonna explain it for grade school kids but the actual GM can’t figure it out.. HIRE THIS MAN AS GM OF THE CANUCKS!🎉
Been a fan since just before Bures first game. Collected all the hockey cards.. man.
As a hockey fan and a sports fan I am sorry, this feeling is awful and you obviously have felt it a lot and i am so sorry, sports can be hard sometimes, I hope something bounces there way here soon.
This is the most time through the hourglass, hockey guy I've ever seen, feeling sad myself
Been a fan since 1970 and thought finally, we have Stanley Cup winning GM and coach. We have professional leadership and this franchise is headed in the right direction. How did things fall apart so fast?
During 2023 I was getting back into the Canucks after being away from hockey for a while. Learning that the team just slowly withered away after the Sedins. They had some success in 2020, but otherwise nothing. Just repeatedly fiddling to be mediocre.
They had a couple good young pieces that they could build around. The team had a chance to just tear it down and do a proper rebuild for the first time.
I shelved this thought after last season and how good it felt to ride high. This year really brought it back that a rebuild should’ve happened. Now we can’t.
Yeah, at least you get to have a second and a third favorite team HG! For me it's..only..the..Canucks..sigh.
You are far too emotional I don’t understand why a team that has a 1 C 1D should rebuild if you want Vancouver to be buffalo or Utah…
As a Capitals fan you seem to be where I was at in 2015, watching them blow yet another 3-1 series lead (Rangers this time) feeling at a total loss if they were ever going to get it done, then win the presidents trophy but have to watch the freakin penguins win the cup twice in a row. But then came 2018, and that cup run and win and ceremony was SO worth it. SUCH a great feeling. It will be worth it.
no rant and yet a 37 minute video? Shannon that's what's called a calm rant where u go on and on but with no yelling screaming ala Steve Dangle. AND IM HERE FOR IT!
I am chomping at the bit waiting for your game 7, stars avs review. What a game. What a series.
Great video. Love the Kuzy hat!!! Don't worry the, Canucks will get it together eventually. Imagine if they can somehow bring Jack and Luke Hughes to Vancouver and build around the Hughes bros, win a cup, and then have the Hughes bros retire in Vancouver and go into the Vancouver coaching system when they retire. This is the future I'm hoping for.
I too find great respect in listening to the Canadian Anthem. Not my country not my people but it's representative of a country and a people that I love.
This video had to happen for your stars to win. You did your part!
As a Mariner's fan since inception, i can totally relate to your experience with the Canuck's. 😂
I’m a stars fan since 1981, much like Shannon, I found myself hoping for an underdog that had made an amazing run to sneak into the playoffs….difference being, I was a Habs fan before that.
I've been a fan since they began. I was born a few blocks from the rink on Renfrew.
This is par for the course. The karmic wheel is a b¡tch. Two riots? We just can't have nice things.
Go Abby!
That title is the truest encapsulation of being a Vancouver fan (since 1980)
2011 was the most lopsided seven game series Final. I think they would have won the Cup had Schneider started game six. Alain Vigneault must know he made the wrong decision.
This may be of cold comfort to you THG, but do you know what period of time the Canucks had their most sustained misery? It was the 12 years preceding the time you started following the team. Thank the stars you were not born into that time as I was. Never boring boys.
I love the Canucks. Your player list is missing Tiger Williams and Harold Snepsts. Thanks for the video.
Canucks Luck is real. They're a cursed team and always have been. Just when you think the Canucks are on their way to something special they screw the pooch. And the bazaar misfortune of this team, like Demko, with a million to one injury. That would only happen to the Canucks. And it's just one of a miriad examples. This team was the best team in the league last year and it was never good enough. They fell apart after the trade deadline. With an impatient owner at the helm the Canucks will never amount to anything special.
this video is the reason dallas won tonight don’t question it that’s just how the hockey gods work
Settle down this guy needs to relax 😂😂😂😂
i'm 53 and I need a cup in Vancouver before I die. One is enough. We have had our chances – 3 games played, in which if we won, we have a cup. 0 for 3. So far.
I feel your pain… I've been a Canuck fan since their first year. I to thought great things were ahead during that overtime game when those three were on the ice. Shorty even said "This out future folks" Now it just sucks!!
Man, really makes me think about how good I have it with NJ, especially after the home game against Vegas I was so defeated with this team.
It's a BUSINESS, you are a BUSINESS MAN supporting a business (money talks). Loyalty royalty 🧱
Shannon, I feel your pain, but you’re bang on. As a leaf fan, I’ve always wondered why Vancouver always makes the dumbest decisions, like the ones you outlined. Ownership should fire the entire management and clean house up top first.
This is the best Canucks video I have seen in years. I completely agree and only wish the Cannots would have made Smyl the GM and we will never know it, but it could have possibly been the best move the Cannots would have ever made, but we'll never know.
110 year cup drought, it'll be 110 more before we get another
As a Minnesota fan I definitely feel your pain Shannon it's to the point to where I follow college hockey here.
The question "Why am I a fan of this team?" is getting harder and harder to answer. There is nothing
As a 35+ year Sabres fan, I feel all of this.
Numb on repeat
What about the Canucks owner putting the team up for sale according to Nick Kypros
The Canucks remind me of the Sabres only slightly better than Buffalo overall
All the gripes are legitimate. I see it all from behind the curtain, and you have no idea how bad it really is behind closed doors.
Hire Ted Nolan as coach and a couple of unsigned aboriginals
When the Beedie family comes to terms on an agreement to buy the team from the Aquas, they aren’t going anywhere. They won’t move the team.
Either Quinn leaves or all three are here in 3 years.
Pure gold. 🙏🏼
Big Canucks fan but honestly I like what Shannon is saying but the perpetual mid has reached a point where it doesn’t bother me anymore, I’ll buy merch try to fly out to watch a game but otherwise it’s hockey whatever. Van media is intolerable at times but again go nucks go I guess
I don't mean this in a mean way or to tease, but dejected Shannon is just adorable. XD
