Canucks fans are freaking out a little bit after history-making collapses
Is it too soon to panic?
It’s only been three games, but maybe not.
The Vancouver Canucks came into this season saying all the right things. They said they were a playoff teamĀ and were ready to prove it. With Bruce Boudreau behind the bench for a full season, many fans believed it.
Unfinished business was the slogan.
Given how the 2021-22 regular season started, the Canucks placed high importance on getting off to a good start.
Instead? They’ve made NHL history for all the wrong reasons.
Canucks are the first team in NHL history to lose each of their first 3 games of a season while blowing a multi-goal lead in each contest

The Canucks held a 3-0 lead in Edmonton, a 2-0 lead in Philadelphia, and a 4-2 lead in Washington. Yet they lost all three games in regulation.
The Canucks were “mentally weak” and “afraid to win,” according to head coach Bruce Boudreau. Following Monday’s collapse, the team held a players-only meeting, which is not something that usually happens this early in a season.
It’s been just three games, but it feels like three months.
So yeah, Canucks fans are freaking out just a little bit.
Can you blame them?

Worst thing that happened for this Canucks core was the bubble. Gave everyone (myself included) a false sense of belief about this core. They arenāt good.

being a canucks fan is like going for dinner at mcdonalds, you enjoy it, you feel like shit after, you tell yourself you won't go back the next night, you find yourself back at mcdonalds ready to get hurt again

The firing of Linden and refusal to enter a complete rebuild years ago ensured the #Canucks will always be a mediocre team at best and bottom feeder most years. I honestly canāt see this team returning to the playoffs or contention within the next 10+ years.

Being the glutton for punishment that I am I am currntly rewatching the 3rd period to try and get a handle on what happened. I have never seen a team with a lead try so many high risk, behind the back, no look, blind passes at the opposing blueline in my life. #Canucks

seasonal depression isn't referring to spring/summer/fall/winter, it means the canucks hockey season
