Canucked 

I feel bad for Shannon (The Hockey Guy). Life-long 'nucks fan and now he has to deal with the worst season (not stat-wise) they have since Torts decided to ruin Kellan Lain's career because he (Torts) wanted to intentionally fight Calgary.

Never seen a fan base cheer for a coach (in a positive way) that was on the precipice of being fired. That last game when they chanting his name at the end was something great.

tree jinx tree jinx

We need a video on Gary Bettman’s 30th Anniversary on becoming NHL Commissioner that was marked this month.

Been missing your videos since NFL season ended. Glad to see more baseball and hockey videos.

What's crazy is that if they had just been patient and stayed the course they might actually be good right now as opposed to signing every big defenseman that exists to a 5x5 and trading away draft picks.

I dont know if im just tired but this is the most hilarious video on the canucks and hockey ive seen

The biggest problem is Aquilini. Set aside the allegations of abuse from his family, the man does not take criticism well and refuses to admit his team needs 3 years of solid rebuilding and development by stocking up prospects. He got a taste of the promised land in 2011 and has been chasing that high ever since. Just sell the team or give full control over to someone of actual talent. They had that in Linden and he left when Aquilini decided to tell him to kindly piss off...he hasnt been near the team since.

As a Canucks fan, never have I ever been so offended by something I 100% agree with.

The Canucks and Senators needs an LoF video to end their jinx. Then again it didn't work for the Sharks...

9:22 "By trading Brock Boeser for some string cheese?" Me, literally eating string cheese for lunch right now: "You could do a lot worse."

"To be fired, and then fired again." Love ya, Tree.

As a lifelong Canucks fan and Vancouver native this is the most depression and despair I've felt with the team. For over 10 years they refuse to rebuild, just endless "retool on the fly" never getting anywhere with mid-round draft picks skipping over the true impact players. Terrible contracts and worse decisions - how Bruce Boudreau was treated was terrible.

The Hater's Guide made this video inevitable. Imagine making the Leafs look like they know what they're doing.

I came to this channel for hockey and I stay here for hockey. Thank you Tree

I always appreciate the f-zero gx music thrown in

No coach should ever be treated the way Vancouver treated Barbecue Bruce. That was completely fucked up.

About time you made this video. Man, I am glad when I move to Vancouver in 2005 I wasn’t a complete idiot and became a Canuck fan.

“It’s alright.” “I’m not the GM of the Vancouver Canucks.”

As a Blues fan you need to roast us too Tree. Not as disfunctional as the Canucks but still hilariously bad for a team that was supposed to be good.

Before the 2023-24 season, I was never expecting the Canucks to perform well. But as of February 2024, they are actually good this year!

I remember in 2018 everyone saying Vancouver is going be a deadly team in 2 years now 5 years later back to rebuild mode

massive shoutout to Tree for watching all the sports, even the ones no one cares about like hockey

Good use of XMEN 2 Clone Wars Genesis music at the end

This didn’t age that great.

Legendary background music

I always questioned if the Leafs were the truly bottom of the barrel team in the NHL and that it couldn’t get more embarrassing, then I saw Vancouver.

as a long time hawks fan there has never been anything more reliable than the misery of the canucks to make us feel good they used to be our biggest boogeymen my whole family rooted against em

I need to see NL talk about this on stream for a solid 45 minutes

Vancouver Canucks: The Brooklyn Nets of the NHL Are they the 2023 version of the 2018 Ottawa Senators?

Canucks are so bad, even the other team’s goalie scores against them.

Another thing to bring up: Judd Brackett was the director of amateur scouting that drafted players like Pettersson, Boeser, and Demko, and he made a lateral move from Vancouver to Minnesota. All Brackett has done with the Wild is pick up guys like Marco Rossi and urged Bill Guerin to trade with Edmonton to draft Jesper Wallstedt. Where is this leading for the Canucks? Here's my bold prediction as a Wild fan: 2024 trade deadline. Rossi and a 2024 first round pick for Elias Pettersson. (I know the Wild have one more year of Cap Hell™ still in 2024-2025, but there's about $16m of cap space opening up due to expiring contracts, and many of those spots will be filled by rookies, including the aforementioned Wallstedt.) It's the perfect time for the Wild to hit the Go Button and really turn the Wild into a team Kaprizov wants to stay with, well before they're out of Cap Hell™.

nice use of the batman and robin genesis ost in the background! although it is making me nostalgicn for the fat man judgeth reviews

THAT EAST HASTINGS JOKE WAS FOUL

When I was 9, I jumped on the Vancouver bandwagon. What a miserable quarter century since. We're basically the Chargers of the NHL

I'm a simple man, I see a new hockey video on this channel&click like.

As a Canucks fan. This isn't harsh enough

Finally some good NHL content that we're looking for, the Canucks have a string of trades come rebuilding time. Trading Bo Horvat to the isles was one key exception.

The narration 💯

I’ve seen Canucks fans are so fed up they rather cheer for Seattle AND move the Nucks to Houston.

ironic the sponsor is not legally aloowed to operate in Vancouver. hockey fans deserve this because they love the hard cap.

A UrinatingTree video on my fav team?!? Oh no a UrinatingTree video on my fav team... Canucks fan since about 93'. This is the worst I've ever felt about the team. But we're at rock bottom right? Only up from here? (Except Aquaman is still here...)

What I was waiting for this season

You know somehow I expect this from the Canucks

It’s simple, as long as the Aquilinis are the owners; this team will fail miserably as they only care about money. This team is a bottom 10 team and yet tickets still cost on average of 130 for bleacher seats

Everyone shitting on JT is getting old. They signed him because he puts up points. Since joining Vancouver he's a PPG player. Bo was never going to be at point per game. And his shooting percentage will fall back down to reality. 8.5x8 is insane. I loved Bo in blue but he was too soft spoken as a Captain. The teams sucked for 2 years show some emotion, get mad. JT in the bubble playoffs is the kind of leadership i want in the locker room..

I see Dan Gilbert gave Tree some of that Rocket Mortgage money lol

When Bruce was a player - his first goal was against Jim Rutherford.

Vancourite here, we all hate the owners of this club. They made this spectator sport unwatchable.

You're not wrong about the E. Hastings comparison

When you hear Canadians say " Ah no thanks eh" on watching the Canucks you know it's bad.

Surprised we haven't seen a legacy of failure for the Canucks yet its been 50 years of pain and no gains

No mention that the fans loved Bruce Boudreau? He was the most popular Canuck right before he was fired. Not a single Canuck fan, not one, said "We need Rick Tocchet".

We need a Legacy of Failure for this team

As a Canucks fan we have been waiting for this for too long.

I know BBQ Bruce is seen as a bit of a meme in the hockey realm, but the way this franchise treated him before his sacking was one of the most inhumane and despicable things I've ever seen in hockey. If the NHL has any sense they'll force Aquillini to sell after that shameful mishandling of power #BruceThereItIs

How this team has avoided an updated "Legacy of Failure" video has sort of blown my mind. Yet people thought I was just being negative when I said I didn't think their rebuild was over after their playoff run in 2020.

This was a long time coming. We also might need a Legacy of Failure on this team as well. Edit: Fuck me, I didn’t expect this much attention. Thanks!

This is the tree video us hockey fans have all been waiting for

And now the Bruins goalie scored a goal against the Canucks, it is really rock bottom for Vancouver

The Canucks have always been a interesting team for me because with that much potential and talent to do what they do continually just seems so insane and even when you try to change it up you get the same result

I agree with almost all of your points but Pettersson is not checked out. He still forechecks hard even in games that are a lost cause, he is one of the best penalty killers, and he does not pout or show frustration. He may leave but he ain't gonna stop trying cause he ain't that kinda guy.

I just moved to Vancouver in October so hearing tree shout out east Hastings shocked me. I live RIGHT on the edge of that craziness. Spot on metaphor!

I’m 28 years old and have watched (or at least tried to watch) every Canucks game as far back as my memories take me. I love this team. I grew up with Nazzy, Bert and Jovo in the West Coast Express era. This team was literally the first and last thing I thought of each day. But this season broke me. This is the first season where I willingly checked out of being a Canucks fan. I just can’t bring myself to watching games knowing I have zero hope in this franchise turning things around as long as Aqua owns the team. Watching teams like NYR, LA essentially lap us in their competitive cycle opened my eyes to just how directionless this team really is. Horvat’s prime was wasted and I am currently watching Petey, Hughes and Demko all have their primes wasted as well. There is nothing for me to like about this team rn and that’s what disappoints me the most. It's the apathy that hurts the most.

As a recovering Sabres fan, it's nice to see a different team become the league-wide LOLCOW for a change.

At least Shannon The Hockey Guy has the Bruins and the Stars. He deserves to at least have two of his three teams be good.

And after this, the Canucks promptly pulled an unexpected playoff run out of their ass. Funny how powerful Tree's jinx truly is.

Going to echo what you said from the Congrats Pens video from 2020: Jim Rutherford made the worst mistake possible by not retiring after 2017.

Arizona Coyotes: “We’re the most inept and tone-deaf organization in hockey!” Vancouver Canucks: *Hold my beer.*

Oh boy another Tree vid that will go down as an infamous jinx my favourite.

The Canucks' combined record (last 25 games of last season + this season so far) since this video dropped: 43-18-5. Tree Jinx strikes again? EDIT: To clarify for those coming back to this post at a later date, this comment was posted on the morning of January 12 2024. By the time you read this, they may have already had a failed window and blown the team up. Who's to say for sure?

The Seattle Kraken got me into hockey, so it's always great learning from Tree's videos.

The jinx is legit thanks tree (canucks are second in the league in points)

The Vancouver Canucks: Professional Hockey's Lolcow. Then, and now again.

As a Canucks fan, this is hilarious !! Canucks represents East Hastings that is! 🤣 Thank you for a good laugh!

A lot of Canucks fans seem to be rooting for the mid-season super-tank to maximize their odds at Bedard. To those fans I ask: do you honestly believe Bedard can save this team if management stays the same?

This is literally going to be a Legacy of Failure on the Canucks in the future

The Canucks biggest mistake was choosing to re-sign JT Miller over Bo Horvat.

Just wanted to thank you for all your great videos. I have been going through an intensive law school program for the past couple of years and have had periods of anxiety and sadness. Your videos always bring me joy even if I don't watch as many sports as I used to. hopefully, my Leafs will eventually get past the first round.

and now they hold the honor of being the first team to have a bruins goalie score on them

At this point, the only thing that would bring me joy as a Canucks fan is for Jon Bois to make a Dorktown series of the team, like with the Falcons or Mariners. And Bedard. I’d like Bedard, too.

I knew this was inevitable. Strap in fellow Canucks fans, this ought to be good

Crazy how bad it’s been for all the western Canadian teams

My pleasure is hearing about the Canucks being in pain -A Canucks fan

Thanks for making this. Having this all laid out like this just shows how far this is from being fixed. Sucks being a life long fan with no end of this turmoil in sight. This organization needs a Bedard or another franchise player in this draft.

Now the Canucks are first in the NHL. The city thanks you for jinxing them to be as good as the rest of their city outside of East Hastings.

And they give up a goalie goal

Thank you for spreading the word that my favourite team is in disarray worse than any other point in Canucks history (besides the Messier point). The Canucks are one of the only teams ever to finish dead last less than five times, and I’m certain they’ll be close to it this year.

I watched the final Canucks game coached by Bruce Boudreau on 1/21. It broke my heart watching his tearful face while he acknowledged the fans. However, he handled this stressful situation with dignity and class. Bruce is looking much better than the current on-ice trainwreck.

We all knew this was coming.

7:35 Yeah, I still revisit that Bruce Boudreau lolcow video from time to time. HOW TF is THAT video 5 years old already?! Keep it up Tree

Do a legacy of failure on Vancouver tree pls do 🙏

The Canucks collapsed faster than the Van Der Linde gang Also you need to do a LOF vid on this team

As a life long canucks fan it's painful how true this is!

Damnit. I was expecting a Legacy of Failure.

A year ago i watched this video with a smile on my face knowing i was understood, now i watch this video with a smile on my face knowing how much has changed

Im really sad this video came out two days before linus' goalie goal

The Canucks have now allowed a goalie goal against the team that ripped out their souls 12 years ago. That is all.

I like how Tree gives the NHL as much love as to more mainstream leagues, like NFL and NBA

I was only ever a nucks fan because of their proximity to Seattle, with the Kraken franchise I jumped ship but it's still a little sad to see their state of affairs as a former sufferer.
