Ownership need to realize they’re lucky with how much leeway they get in terms of criticism. I prefer to joke and keep things light, but the stark reality is I could lean into the negative side a lot more lol.

Every time they sniff a tiny bit of success, it’s all in with the club. Instead of trying to set up the team for long term success, it’s always a race to see if they can “get in and see what happens?” **

I have spent years putting my hands up and going “OK I guess we’ll see” to the aggressively optimistic crowd but after a decade of seeing this team repeatedly slide into the not good enough to win but not bad enough to get a top pick, you wonder if things will ever change **

Since 2015 the Canucks winning percentage is 16th in the league. Dead center of the mushy middle, just tickling the playoffs from afar. **

Coming off of last year’s generational locker room breakdown and now heading into a season of what will quickly become more and more about Quinn Hughes’ future (and rightfully so), it’s pretty hard to sell the vision for this team. **

Then you add in the off ice stuff:

• The Athletic ranking them 31st org in the league
• New chairs taking 198 years to install
• Practice rink seemingly impossible only in BC
• Social media policies that enforce the blandest approach possible

It’s all very dour. **

I just don’t know how they don’t look in the mirror and think “ok what can we do differently” vs continuing to stay the course.

Team hasn’t had a viable long term plan in place since Mike Gillis left.

Again, they are lucky coverage is so nice to them lol. **
