The Canucks return home, which might not be the best thing for a team that has struggled so badly in their place of residence.

MAMMOTH (13-12-3) at CANUCKS (10-14-3)

9 p.m. ET; SNP, Utah16

Let us begin with this:

Last place in the league. Look at it, in all its glory.

Kent got so emotional about this, this his body decided to get sick.

I am not one to usually go around and collect receipts, but a show of hands please of those who said this team was a playoff team...

For those of you who will argue that bad luck has cursed this team, you should have thought about that in September, when you had hope and expectations!

NEVER HAVE HOPE AND EXPECTATIONS AS A CANUCK FAN!!!

GAMEDAY CHATTER

So....I agree that Aquilini hasn't scored this year and is not noticeable on the ice, but how do the three areas that actually have more effect on results do not even have the same percentage of blame than the owner? The owner let management spend the money to be near top of the league in the area. He hired a management team who hired a coach and created this team over the past 3 years. And yet 2/3s of the votes blame him. This logic continues to baffle me. If you can please explain to me, with evidence, how Aquilini....this year....caused this shit show.

This team is mediocre at best.

Status report

Hayton and Tanev each will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game after the forwards sat out a 7-0 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. … Kane is doubtful to play. The forward left a 3-1 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday because of a skate cut, and missed practice Thursday and the morning skate Friday because of illness. … Garland returns after missing two games because of an upper-body injury. … Demko, who last played Nov. 11, took part in a portion of practice Thursday. The goalie could return next week. … Hoglander is practicing and the forward could make his season debut next week. He is working his way back following surgery for an injury sustained during the preseason.

GAMEDAY BATTLE HYMN

It's been awhile since the Canucks have been the worst in the league and with the bill of goods we've been sold and bought into...yes, both can happen.....there are bound to be some sad feelings. Disappointment for sure. So why not let your inner child mope for a bit with R.E.M

Go Canucks Go....tanking all the way.
