the Canucks were god-awful in the 70s and most of the 80'sNo idea what the article says but figured this might be fun: what was the worst version of your team you ever saw?
from 1970 through 1991, they topped 80 points ONCE.
the theme song used to be....
I'm a loyal hockey fan, I love the Vancouver Canucks
And I don't care if the lose they're always worth the bucks
And I won't grumble if they should stumble, or if they should fumble the pucks
Cuz I'm a loyal hockey fan, I love the Vancouver Canucks
(way to set the expectations!)
but I would still pick the first Kennan/Messier year as the darkest (97-98).
64 points, but it was much more than that.
we were hours away from signing Gretzky, until ownership fucked it up by not giving
the man a night to sleep on it. and then gave the same $ to messier in a panic move
we had Linden, Mogilny, Bure, Naslund, Courtnall up front.
stripped the C from Linden, and blew the team up
had to surround our great leader with his own people... Noonan, Zezel, etc
turned the team right around into a 58 point year
