The bedazzled jackets the #Canucks moms are wearing on this trip are fantastic.

Hot take. Both the Bruins and Lightning uniforms for the outdoor game were butt ugly. Whoever designed them deserves to be jerseyed in a bare knuckle fight by Swayman and/or Vasilevskiy.

Another Demko injury? Is he gonna get to the end of his 3-year extension, or is he going to wind up being yet another goalie with more potential than results, who never gives the #Canucks a deep run? I mean, Vancouver won't be good for a couple of years anyway, but jeez, Thatcher's made of glass.

Why is the #Canucks power play not looking for a massive Hronek one-timer? Buddy has one of the hardest shots in the league.

He's no Quinn Hughes, but in garbage time last night, Zeev Buium showed he's got some wheels as well. Even if the Flyers were mailing it in by then, Buium went coast to coast and delivered a lovely backhand pass to assist on O'Connor's gimme. Nice hint of things to come for the #Canucks.

The Goldeneyes said from the outset they wanted to make the Coliseum a tough place to play for visitors. Looks like they’re doing so. 3-0 at home!

I really liked Zadorov when he played for the #Canucks. I really liked Hughes when he played for the Canucks. So this afternoon I’m watching them both in a #Bruins vs #MNWild game. #LeSigh

Welp, other #Canucks fans have started calling ME names and cursing ME out over the Quinn Hughes trade—like I’m somehow involved in making that decision—so I think I’ll go watch Wake Up Dead Man. Good night, my friends.

Aquilini has been a meddling influence since he took over the #Canucks in 2004. Linden wanted to rebuild the team in 2014, but Benning (on Aquilini's orders) said no. The post-Sedin era has been a miasma of atrocious hockey, an *occasional* glimmer of hope, and cash grabs that fleece the fans.

What kind of puppy dog eyes do you think Brock Boeser has right now? Buddy chose to sign with the #Canucks instead of going to Minnesota as a free agent, in part so he could keep playing with a guy like Quinn Hughes.

Like a lot of folks, I've been calling for a rebuild for quite a few seasons now. The #Canucks have FINALLY gone team tank. Now watch Pettersson wake up and put the team on his back, just enough to fuck up Vancouver's draft pick.

What do the #Canucks get? C Rossi, decent 2C. Upside: little less than a point a game. D Buium, rookie, also American, big but not a great skater. LW Ohgren, don't know much about him. 7 points in 46 career NHL games. 2026 1st round pick: Minnesota would pick 25th now, lower with Hughes for 40 GP.

There have been MANY nights in the past three seasons when Quinn Hughes was literally the only thing worth watching for #Canucks fans. Fumbling an elite talent like Quinn Hughes SUUUUUCKS. As a lifelong Canucks fan, I honestly don't know how long it'll be before I come back to the team after this.

Rossi's a helluva decent roster add, but in Quinn Hughes we lose the most dynamic player Vancouver has had since Pavel Bure. Today is a sad day in a long, long list of sad days to be a #Canucks fan.

Was busy last night, so I've just watched the #Canucks #RedWings game this afternoon. Jeez Vancouver just can't catch a break. They need to go full Sabre: raze that organization to the ground, burn out the rot. New owner, practice facility, 10 years of suckage, multiple #1/#2 draft picks...

Hockey games do not need a DJ blasting us into atoms every puck stoppage, or bland ‘personalities’ screaming pleas for us to make some noise. Let us watch the game. Let us talk to our friends. Let us go through one fucking event without having to listen to your shitty synth bass and drums.

Jesper Wallstedt has been lights out against Canadian teams this year—until tonight. The brain fart on Räty's second goal was positively Luongo-worthy. #Canucks up 4-1 over the #MNWild, but there's still enough time for Vancouver to blow it if they work hard at it.

Nikita Tolopilo has been good, but the #MNWild have also missed the net and bobbled the puck numerous times on glorious chances. I'd say "good to be lucky, lucky to be good", but the #Canucks as a group have been anything but good this year.

Is there anything more Vancouver than watching your sports team lose in a championship game? A helluva season for the @vwfc-pr.bsky.social. A double-post shot away from a Cup. (Related: what I wouldn’t give to see the @nhlcanucks.bsky.social back in Cup contention.)

The @pwhlsirens.bsky.social jerseys are even more underwhelming in person as in photos. Ugly logo, bad colours, the whole schmear. @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social lead 3-0 on both the scoreboard and in the look book.

Multiple members of the New York Sirens wear middling white jerseys.

One member of the Vancouver Goldeneyes lines up for a faceoff.

That’s how I feel about Red Notice. What’s not to like? Everyone’s gorgeous. Everyone’s charming. The set pieces are entertaining. The script is thin but the pop culture references are loads of fun. Is it worthy of analysis in film history grad classes? No. But dang it’s good popcorn fodder.
