The Vancouver Canucks: Professional Hockey’s Lolcow



Lolcow (n) – A person or group of people laughed at for actions that they take, despite not trying to be funny. They may try to take themselves seriously, but they are often “milked” for laughs with or without their knowledge.

It’s not just football that has its fair share of lolcows. Here we have a prime example of a hockey laughingstock. I personally believe it’s divine punishment due to past transgressions, but the real reasons why is up to you.

  1. Benning and Travis Green are now gone, but the change was made a little too late for Vancouver's playoff hopes for this season.

  2. The 10 11 Canucks was there Stanley thophy there were the favorites as well getting the doors off against the burins in game 6 that was going to take away from home home series

  3. This video still holds true for the most part

    The Bruce Boudreau era however is still a thing and it can change in a snap of the fingers.

  4. MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. IF SOMEBODY COULD JUST GET THE LIGHTS
    your voice is seriously the funniest shit ever

  5. As a Canucks fan, I'm rewatching this video and I honestly wished you put more focus on Francesco Aquilini. He isn't just meddlesome, but he's also delusional and unprofessional.

    -When Dave Nonis (the GM before Mike Gillis) got fired in 2008, he called Aquilini "unrealistic", wanting to trade the farm for a player he really liked.
    -There's this part where after the game 7 loss in 2011, there was a report where Francesco told a reporter to go fuck elsewhere.
    -Francesco calling a Globe and Mail reporter a "prick" after posting an article about how the Aquilinis were involved in the decision to hire Tortorella (who made the team worse during the 2013-2014 season). They could've not listened to it.
    -And in 2018, Trevor Linden leaving since he wanted a rebuild like Mike Gillis, who left earlier in 2014 for the same reason.
    -Now currently, he has Jim Rutherford as President and Patrik Allvin as GM, and they haven't done anything that remotely resembles a long-term plan. J.T. Miller was given a 7×8 extention, and has been harming the locker room chemistry.
    -Then there is the stuff outside the Canucks, like the recent child abuse allegations held against Francesco, and their mistreatment of their blueberry workers (hence us Canucks fans calling him "Blueberry man").

    That's my only feedback otherwise, I love your video, and it really did age well.

  6. It's time to Legacy of Failure them. Their front office and ownership did BBQ Bruce so damn dirty.

  7. Welp things haven't changed in Vancouver in fact it's gotten even worse

  8. I remember in 2018 season we were all saying in 2 years Vancouver was going be a deadly team in 2 years now they are back in rebuild mode again. 8 years when started 2015

  9. This video aged well and the new CANUCKED video shows this team is driving off the cliff with Bo Horvat gone (with locked contracts with other players) BBQ Bruce disrespected and Jim Rutherford destroying everything. Even after Bening was gone the team is still hurting with poor defense and awful goaltending.

  10. I hope they get a cup someday im not a canucks fan but i do feel bad their fanbase cuz the team has struggled so much
