The Vancouver Canucks are unique in more ways than one. There aren’t many teams that have made it to three Stanley Cup Finals and failed to capture a single championship. As with any franchise, there are peaks and valleys and right now, the Canucks are in an incredibly deep valley.
In a time where the Canucks have lost far more than they have won (137-150-36 in the Jim Benning era to this point), fans debate the merit (or lack thereof) in tanking. Even the casual fan understands what tanking is. Simply put, it’s creating a situation where the goal is to lose as many games as possible.
