They say sports are unpredictable.
Unfortunately for Canucks fans, there tend to be a lot more surprises that make you say “YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME” as opposed to “F***ING RIGHTS, YES!”
At this point, watching this team flounder isn’t a huge surprise...until you remember that there were realistic playoff odds entering the season.
Most outlets had the Canucks pegged as a playoff Wild Card team. But, after last season’s 106-point pace under Bruce Boudreau, a large chunk of fans believed that this team would make the playoffs. Heck, I even talked myself into it.
