When is it time to panic? Canucks are 3-5-1 in last 9 games

Time to panic...no, that will come when Minnesota ties us for points. Time to be very, very concerned however. We no longer have the luxury of being relatively assured of a divisional title. Other teams are improving while we seem to be in decline, albeit a slow one. Therefore is panic inevitable...yes.

Can beat Chicago in conference finals, but we'd be a long underdog but the rush of the victory would make us unstoppable in the SCF.

I'm not overly concerned about the state the team is at atm. But the general feeling is a bit similar to the one when Dave Nonis was released from his contract due to not "making a trade just to make on".

Constant feeling of something brewing, but nothing actually materializing. And no-one can deny that our team doesn't need a shake-up of some sort, and a deal for one of our goalies is overdue.

Too many odd moves at management level and coaching as well for everything to be perfectly ok. Manny, Ballard, Luongo&Schneider, AV, GMMG even Kesler a bit. Volpatti move was odd, though not overly suspicious. And dating back to last year, the CoHo trade & what Samuelsson said about the management after being dealt. All that sounds fitting and makes a bit of sense after what we've seen and read recently...

Hope I'm wrong on this and it all gets resolved soon and we can get back to winning again.

Definately time to panic, but that doesn't necessarily mean make lots of trades.

Our coaching staff should be the one panicking. Nothing they're doing is working in this shortened season, our players clearly can't play the systems they're implementing and despite playing well in small stretches, we're finding ways to lose games. The coaches need to get their act together or MG has to look elsewhere.

AV's decisions have actually been great so far, its Bowness (defensive management) and Brown (special teams) that have particularly let us down this season. Our forwards are mostly having career years.
