danjr Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Well..... We are minus 97 games in the last 50 years. Came close to being -100 1649 Wins 1746 losses. Pretty darn close to -1000 goals differential. I used to think there were a lot of franchises worse than us. We are the second most pathetic franchise. The only team worse than us for points percentage is Arizona.(I'm not including Clevlands stats) So disheartening to think it's taken us 50 years to dig this kind of hole. How many decades until we can be a 500 team. I still love this team, and think we have a bright future. Man stats don't lie, going to be a long road back to glory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.A.A Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Now that's a depressing stat. We will be a much better and different team next year. Players will be immunized, have a good pre season and training camp, players will have more practice time and will gel better. We will make the playoffs next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man stats don't lie, going to be a long road back to glory. out of curiosity, how old are you? since 1990-91, the canucks have 1111 wins and 934 losses. I'm no mathemagician, but I'm pretty sure that's a differential of +177 over the last 30 years. 1 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his drafting was atrocious then too. Edited May 20, 2021 by canuck73_3 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Oh yeah self dunked on that one and I will eat crow. I read it as within the last 7 years in my head. Too much Benning hate today!

-DLC- Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 You guys must be fun at parties. If you have to dig back 50 years to make a point, it might not be worth it. I've seen a lot of great hockey games as a fan of this team. But sure, let's keep track instead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 2 hours ago, danjr said: Man stats don't lie, going to be a long road back to glory. They do somewhat. I'm assuming by your statistical analysis, that Buffalo has a higher winning percentage than us over the last 50 years. So, even with that being said,.... 1) How many Presidents' trophies have they won? 2) Conference Championships? 3) Cup appearances? 4) Divisional titles? 5) Individual accolades? Despite our pathetic record, I'm going to go out on a limb and state that the Canucks do come out quite favourably against many teams when ignoring both overall winning percentage and number of Stanley Cups won (which by the way, the city of Vancouver has one - Vancouver Millionaires. The CANUCKS organization however, has zero). Road to glory will start on October 1st 2022. If any organization out there wins multiple cups in a short number of years, all is forgotten. Chicago's three cups from 2010-2015 is a good example of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Deb the OP makes a point. Fifty years is a long time that some of us have lived and died with every game of this team. I didn’t realize we were the absolute worst in point percentage. Better days ahead I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Why dig up meaningless stat just to make yourself feel worse about your team? The team was horrible in the 70's and 80's. Most of the losses and the negative goal differentials were accumulated in that period. It's part of our history but no need to look back on it just to see the negatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I'd just like to point out that the Canucks finished with 40 or more losses in 7 of their first 9 seasons in the NHL. Carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to point out that the expansion drafts in the 1970’s were a joke. Only the absolute dregs of each teams rosters were made available. It guaranteed that expansion teams had no chance of being successful and free agency was not a thing. A brutal decade to be an expansion team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
