Throughout the summer, we discussed the state of the Vancouver Canucks. We mostly came to the same conclusion every time: things could be a lot better, but they could also be a lot worse. For some reason, however, it seems like the rest of the hockey world seems to think the Canucks are one of the worst teams in the league with one of the worst coaches and one of the worst management groups.
Most recently, Pension Plan Puppets, SB Nation’s Toronto Maple Leafs blog, took a swing at the Canucks. Before we dive into this, I have to point out that they are doing a “why your team sucks” series — posts on each of the NHL’s teams, discussing why the team sucks.
