Only 11 of the 26 players from the cup run are still with this team. I'm not trying to make a point here, it's just interesting to see how far from that cup team we are now. Almost all of those players from 2011 are in their 30's or almost there.

Also another side not, of those 11, only 2 players from that 2011 team who are still playing with us are producing and playing well, Kesler and Higgins. (imo at least)

Anyways, make whatever conclusions you want from this.

And that was the team that was spanked in the finals.

Getting to game 7 of the stanley cup finals isn't exactly getting spanked...

It was kind of an odd 7 game series. When the Canucks lost games they lost them ugly.

Losses that series...

8-1

4-0

5-2

4-0

To Lu's credit he stole them a couple games both being 1-0 shutouts. They really did spend most of the play though looking overmatched

Yeah, but you get the point. Getting spanked is getting sweeped [Like last season against SJ] or barely winning one game [Like last-last season against LA]

they got to game 7 man

[Cold Hard Truth]

they desperately needed a heart transplant and a big shake up instead Gillis gave them a bandaid and now were here, watching a lifeless corpse get beaten down every game .

This team is pathetic, never seen a bigger group of quitters, Canucks are doomed as long as the Sedins are the first line.

Management needs to be changed and a culling needs to be laid down with this core and blow it up in the offseason or you will be see droves of fans stop going to games or giving a rats ass.

[NuckleheadFan]

there's 28 other teams that would have liked to be in Canucks spot that year. out of that roster, Ehrhoff, Schneider, and Luo were probably part of the "core" group of players traded.

Our losses that series were ugly but we outplayed the bruins in games 1 and 2 and the 1st period of game 3. We should have scored a goal or two in the first 15 minutes of that period and then Rome destroyed Horton late in the period. The Bruins took over from there. Lu won us game 5. Gillis' decisions moving forward has destroyed us since

[elvis15]

So what you're saying is that Gillis should never have carried on with the core that Burke and Nonis built, since they couldn't win a Stanley Cup and are falling apart around us right now. That's my conclusion for you bringing up the roster of a team that we all enjoyed but couldn't win when it counted.

[CanucksSayEh]

Torres had 3 goals in his first 2 games this year...

Still waiting for our top line to net 1 this calender year...
