They saw enough of Raty in Abby to know. He’s just not a good enough skater for the NHL

🏒 There's a real chance for the Canucks to hit bottom-3 by the end of the night. I don't think anyone is close to the Flames-Canucks level this year, but I'm still enjoying watching them more this year than last year!

🏒 all I'll say about the Quinn Hughes trade is that I sure hope Novotny turns out to be a star because otherwise it is looking pretty bleak

🏒 Did the Canucks melt down in the second half of the game or is this just on Lankinen? I liked their first half, and pretty much expected them to run out of gas.

🏒 As a Canucks fan, I'm more worried about Zeev Buium than what I'm seeing from the defenders who won't be on the team in 3 years.

I'm not sure that Lankinen signing ever should have been made, but he's been hung out to dry and I basically just ignore a goalie's PK sv% as it switches so much year to year based on systems

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I don't think Hronek's value is going to decline based off of a couple bobbles or bad play on a bad Canucks team. And Lankinen has been very unfairly treated so far (by team and fans)

🏒 This is the kind of game that we are going to have to get used to for the Canucks rebuild. A bunch of good chances not going in and some sloppy goals against. Lots of positive signs that we are probably overreacting to as teams show us their backup and 75% effort.

Debrusk has looked good. The Canucks just have to figure out how to kill off the occasional penalty.

any game the Canucks lose due to lack of talent instead of lack of effort is a great game. Lots to like in their game. We will see how they do on this road trip.

Too soon to panic, but there will be some serious competition for the Canucks this year. Chicago and Calgary are already locked in.

somehow this loss might have been even funnier.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
🏒 The funniest part of this season is going to be when other fans mock Canucks fans for being bad. Yeah, we know and that’s the plan. That’s why it’s funny when we win and doesn’t hurt when we lose.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
🏒 If Quinn Hughes wants to play the full year in Minnesota and then make his decision next July, isn't this exactly what he would do and say? Keep saying positive things about the Wild but don't ever commit.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
what effort from Cotter and Sasson. I’ll take that game one from the Canucks. Not going to doubt the process.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
That penalty will not bother Manny at all. He just doesn’t let things like that get to him.

What a godawful call. Karlsson gets fully tackled, then takes a one-handed swipe at an already broken stick and gets a slashing penalty? What are we doing? What's going on?

Rasmus Dahlin you have always been my favourite defender from your particular draft class.

JR insisting on adding an age-gap centre in a Hughes deal was silly, but they can still flip Rossi at some point
100
W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
If only the Canucks weren’t so shortsighted in demanding a center, maybe the Wild would have had a chance. Really weird to give up Rossi and just not add a replacement.

Hahahaha. It was 3-0 and Colorado was just too much for Boldy + Faber’s Minnesota Wild. I wish you a very messy offseason.

I wish the Philadelphia Flyers a very messy offseason. Thanks for leaving Vancouver Rick ”I didn’t quit” Tocchet. No way the Canucks pick 3rd with your hockey system.

the Canucks have already declared for the next two years. I'm curious what the other effects would be. The PWHL gold draft period only lasted for 2-3 games but it certainly made it interesting.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
in your version, does it start when the team is officially eliminated or can you declare early?

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
when you put it like that… Still think coaching is going to be the GM‘s decision which is fair

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
I like the Drance approach. Their pick was #3. There's a chance to get lucky and move up and they didn't get lucky. Fortunately their direct competitor also didn't get lucky.

W. Ron Sweeney @wronsweeney.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
This is fine for the Canucks. We were always picking 3rd and the secret plan is Bedard.
