Despite all that talent (top picks) Buffallo is still trending to be picking top 10 again !
Their manager is an idiot who always picks a dman and not the best at developing talent some of it injury luck to be fair. Go read current gdt on hf boards buffalo page. The fans will give you a good reason why the team sucks

I live in Calgary, used to live in Vancouver, and grew up in the Fraser Valley. Generally prefer the weather in Calgary (although the next couple of weeks are gonna be tough). I never realized how nice the near-constant sunshine can be.
In some respects (weather, proximity to mountains, etc) Calgary is a better place to live than Edmonton. However, Edmonton has more cultural and arts events - they get far more and better concerts throughout the year (still nowhere near as much as Vancouver and Toronto). So it does have that going for it.
Also, Saddledome is a dump, and Rogers is fantastic, but eventually Calgary’s new rink will even that out...
Edmonton for city life
Calgary for nature, music scene and weather due to chinooks and sunshine.
Really annoys me about Vancouver people making it sound like rest of Canada is a frozen crap place to live. Honestly between - 5 or - 25 isn't that much of a difference in terms of what you wear and do in a day.

Dude, this is a fine post if he actually said anything rude regarding the city, players, or fans. His post was that he wants the contract to bite the team in the butt, so they don't succeed. Pretty typical. I want every contract another team signs to end up being a bad contract. I want the Canucks to win, which in the real world that does not involve a trophy going to every team, means that I cheer against every other team. It also means that teams within our division are teams we cheer harder against. I for one don't hold as much hate for other typical Canuck rivals as most, but understand it, as long as you can get along with their fans and have fun with it. Don't start policing typical $&!# talking rivals, what do you expect to see on a teams forum?
Respect and kindness.
Change the toxic hockey culture to.

If you read carefully on what I wrote, I just want the Flames to be screwed at the end of all this. I just hope he doesn’t live up to it while he is in Calgary and then gets traded else where to find his personal success. Have a hard time not hating the Flames when you read some of their fans reaction when our players get injured.
Be the bigger person. Besides just because half a dozen flames fans r rude doesn't mean the whole city are rude

Hope he never lives up to the contract, leading the Flames to dump him and he will find success in another team. Hate the Flames with a passion, screw them.
Grow up, they are human beings as well who worked their tails up. They are in the entertainment business. This whole nonsense of hating another team to make you seem more of die heart gotta stop. Who cares who is the biggest die heart fan but even more so this hatred is hurting culture. I know it's a minor thing but hating the flames and other similar things just tear people apart.
We need more unity in this culture. Stop hating another city hockey team. They did nothing wrong. You can dislike a player I guess but even then you are judging them by their on ice behavior or a story you heard or maybe you meant them once that didn't go well. This guy's have families and wife's. I'm sure after a fight with the wife where you gone shopping the last thing you want is a fan bugging you for a picture.
I'm just saying to be nicer and stop hating each other. This hating culture gotta stop soon.

This is the first time I've seen this team collapse like that.
I didn't get to watch this game but it seems like we were in it until the 3rd/4th goal.
Defense fell apart, Marky was rattled, and then the team caved.
Hope this is a big learning experience for everyone. Bo, Markstrom, Green, and the entire team.
You have to stop the bleeding early on.
This is vital to understand before we make the playoffs.
Washington 5-1 to lose 6-5
Wasn't there another big loss in like November?

Playoff hero. Warrior. He is a true champion. Knows how to dig a little deeper when it matters. Then again he is old. We will see how this goes.
Good signing for them. I hope Carolina goes deep and defeat Toronto in a round hahahahah

We are going to war folks. How long how bad idk but USA will respond and they will respond back. It is going to be bigger attacks to.
If Russia or China defends Iran then all hell will brake loose.
Israel is at huge risk to.
Ftr safest counties in case of war are new Zealand, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Switzerland and Canada.
Very very interesting time. Will our home ground be attacked? Will Canada have a draft of some sort?

This team got way to confident coming into this game. That's all that happen. Markstrom can't be a hero every other game. Shocking performance after opening goal. Hopefully the boys learn from this and won't let it happen again.

I wanted to make this list for fun. It's obviously subjective, and I purposely left the Canucks out cause of bias. These rankings are based off of a couple factors (Attendance, tradition, etc). Feel free to discuss and criticize my rankings below!
Attendance based off of this: http://www.espn.com/nhl/attendance
30: New York Islanders
A historic team, but in the last few years have struggled to bring fans to games despite some success.
29: Florida Panthers
At this point I think it's safe to say that Miami is not a hockey market. Seems to be always in the basement when it comes to Attendance.
28: Arizona Coyotes
Arena problems, non-traditional market, and empty seats. Would like to see them relocate to Houston, or Milwaukee(?).
27: Carolina Hurricanes
Trending upwards with success. Can a successful decade make Carolina a bonafide hockey market? In previous seasons finished last in attendance.
26: Ottawa Senators
Poor ownership, poor arena location, poor attendance. Sad to see a Canadian market struggle like Ottawa.
25: New Jersey Devils
Lack of fan support in recent years. No longer a powerhouse team.
24: Colorado Avalanche
For over ten years now have been at the bottom of the league for home attendance percentage.
23: Columbus Blue Jackets
Have struggled with attendance. With last years success they still struggle to sell tickets.
22: Anaheim Ducks
Have had some attendance success over the last ten years. There is no real hockey tradition in Anaheim though.
21: Buffalo Sabres
Football town first, hockey second. Have been horrible for almost a decade, fans are losing interest.
20: Vegas Golden Knights
Too new to put any higher, too successful to put any lower. Will the fans stick around once the team is no longer wildly successful?
19: San Jose
Have been quite successful this past decade. Fans do show up, San Jose as a market is trending up.
18: Dallas Stars
Dallas fans consistently show up. This past Winter Classic shows that there are hockey fans in Texas, and a lot of them.
17: Nashville Predators
Not too long ago they would be last on this list. Hockey seems to be growing rapidly in Tennessee. Bonus points for Smashville! Definitely trending upwards rapidly.
16: St. Louis Blues
A historic team. Will winning the Stanley Cup help build a strong hockey culture in Missouri? Will always be a baseball city first.
15: Los Angeles Kings
The best out of the three California teams. Have consistently sold out this previous decade. Will hockey become popular in Cali?
14: Philadelphia Flyers
Another historic franchise. Philadelphia is definitely a hockey town.
13: Calgary Flames
Second Canadian team to appear on the list. Strong hockey culture, needs a new arena though.
12: Minnesota Wild
The hockey state. Hockey is in their DNA.
11: Edmonton Oilers
One of the most historic teams in the league. With their recent struggles attendance has dipped a little.
10: Tampa Bay Lightning
One the NHL's success stories. We can safely say that Tampa is now a hockey town. The Lighting have worked hard to grow their brand and become a bonafide hockey market.
9: New York Rangers
Original 6 team. New York is one of the best hockey markets.
8: Washington Capitals
People in DC have been hockey crazy as a long as I can remember. I believe this will be a hockey market long after Ovi retires.
7: Boston Bruins
A sports-crazy city. They love their Bruins. Boston has always been an excellent hockey market and always will be.
6: Pittsburgh Penguins
They have been spoiled with the likes of Jagr, Lemieux, Crosby, and Malkin. Excellent hockey culture. Pittsburgh is a hockey hotbed.
5: Winnipeg Jets
They love hockey in Winnipeg. Sell out every game, and have tradition. The Jets are here to stay.
4: Chicago Blackhawks
Sellout every game, original 6 team, and successful.
3: Detroit Red Wings
Hockey Town. They're successful, and have tradition. There's an unbelievable hockey culture in Detroit.
2: Toronto Maple Leafs
Original six, Canadian, and hockey crazy. It seems like not one day passes without Canadian media mentioning the Maple Leafs.
1: Montreal Canadiens
This one is self explanatory.
Where would you guys place the Canucks on the list?
Some of the bottom ranked teams lack attendance due to bad hockey teams but also due to other leagues playing during our season. For example buffalo. Bills till December will always be the main attraction. Those tickets aren't cheap either.
Others like Miami have the heat 98% of the year including playoffs if both make it.
Arenas are hard to comment since if I'm being honest I only know 10 at tops arenas from the outside. No idea on food quality and pricing to. Like a lot of given factors towards atmosphere of the arena. By far the most needed thing is quality product aka players. I think we can see it with whitecaps or lions. We love all our sports but even when the Canucks suck they own such a big chuck of the entertainment market that when people lose focus they choose not to go to caps or lion games.
Now to be fair whitecaps and lions have sucked as of late but Canucks games are mostly sold out. While caps used to be and are now rarely sold out. Main point im making is ownership and management gotta make the on ice or field or whatever quality. The rest of it comes 2nd. If players work hard and have really likable personalities and cool hair or something. Then advertising and reaching out is easiler.
I agree with your list. Canucks are 8th-13depending how good we are. When we made the Finals we were top 5 but that's because the hype was real

Her logic is different then ours since the definition changes all the time for her. While for me and I would presume you the meaning of racism is the same as it has always been.

Virtanen has surprised me with his dekes. Upon getting the puck, he often flashes some pretty good handles and then cycles it.
He's developing into a more east-west player, whereas he was purely north-south before.
Came a long way from training camp. Credit to Travis Green for the tough love and development

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Buffalo Sabres | Jan. 11, 2020

Honestly every team but the blues this season has had their share of crap games like us. Even then I doubt blues even make it to the conference finals come playoff time. Just so hard to do now a days.
Wouldn't be shocked if we pull off a series win or 2either at this point.
I still think Vegas or Dallas will be in the Finals fwiw
