Can't win on the road, can't win at home. Is there a 3rd option?
No, there isn't.
Tonight's loss will be compliments of the league's 3rd best team. The Canucks best chance for a win is to play a team that's worse than them. That's tricky as the Nucks are the worst team in the league - now by a 10 point margin!
Oh well... there is some similarity between the Stars and Nucks...
The #Canucks face the Stars tomorrow. Dallas has won eight straight. Vancouver has won eight of their last 35 games.

So... pretty evenly matched. If one looks past the context thing.

TDL is coming up fast and JR/PA are moving... slow. Good times!

It's sad that the #Canucks are so bad when much of the Western conf. is bad, especially the Pacific. The team from 2 years ago would be running away with the div. Sad as well for the Leafs. FLA is gonna miss the playoffs. Their team from last year might have finally been able to get over the hump.

And horrible oligarching implications...
WTF is with the Aquilinis and the #Canucks?! Francesco was at the men's gold medal hockey game in the same box as MAGA suckhole, Kash Patel?! MAGA much? If the Aquilinis don't want to ice a team worthy of the NHL they should dump it and invest in Mar-a-sLaggo. Aquilinis have no weenies!

Game Day Battle Hymn
Didn't want to fight Westy, spent enough energy fighting the oligarchs last week... so... you win Westy.
I believe this should be the song that is played on a loop for the rest of 2026. Fight me.

Fight the Fascists! Go Canucks! (despite being owned by a fascist-friendly oligarch) Good Times!
