I've memed about it before but any team on a losing skid must have a massive sigh of relief when they have to play the Canucks. Guaranteed bounce back game.
I still remember when Sakic got his 500th. Avs are my second favourite team and Sakic was arguably my favourite player at the time so I was happy for him yet annoyed it was against the Canucks.
We are just generous that way....even if you expand it to any major milestone...theres the canucks...first goal?? Against the canucks, hitting your point milestones?? Canucks...hometown kid?? You get everything you could ask for, game winner, hattrick, etc....
Right after I posted that comment I remembered how many expansions have happened since we entered the league and cringed a little bit lmao. 😭 we actually unc status
This franchise is the equivalent of a morbidly obese person desperate to lose weight but never does. Heartbroken, they decide nothing matters and gets takeout as a result.
So dumb, I would’ve done anything for Kane not to have his 500th against my club and Canucks pull the goalie knowing it will happen, just gifted him it.
Bizarre take it’s a milestone goal that I wouldn’t want against my team that’s all. Where the Canucks have a building sheet of guys who have milestones goals on them and he’s a former Hawk another reason not to like it.
If you need to reach a milestone you can always get it against the canucks. Gretzky loved us.
Scored his first, his 500th and 802nd against us.

Like ah yes, who could forget Ovi’s 403rd road goal
Allen Iverson
Lol just texted this to the hockey group chat during the game.

Or you have a rookie goalie playing his second nhl game. Guaranteed shut out.
Like clockwork
wait, we're a fluffer team?
We are a trivia answer. When in doubt

Us or seemingly the Jets.
At least they win at something 🤣🤣
We make dreams a reality!
Pretty sure that’s Citi’s line 😆
We're a charity!
Sounds about right.
Tired, boss.
This is absurd, I never thought about it how I was watching too many player milestones over the years

Luongo to Marchand on reaching 1000pts: "You'd probably still be at 900 if it weren't for me."
Good Guy Canucks, that’s gotta be worth some good karma at some point… right?
Sadly no, it just means more pain and sadness
probably hasn't balanced out the ledger after the two stanley cup riots unfortunately :(
We live to serve.
WE’RE NUMBER 1! WE’RE NUMBER 1!!
We're here to break records...
...against us.
You can tell we're bad from the way we are
Haha
We are number one!
I still remember when Sakic got his 500th. Avs are my second favourite team and Sakic was arguably my favourite player at the time so I was happy for him yet annoyed it was against the Canucks.
At least it happened at home for him, pretty special
Ovechkin is scoring his 1000th on us isn't he.
Pretty good to get your first win or shut out too!
At least we’re first in something
These are not records we wish to be a part of. It just reinforces how mediocre the Canucks have been over a long period of time.
I specifically remember Sakic sniping 500 past Cloutier’s blocker

We are one of the younger franchises, too. Lmao ouch
Well, when Vancouver became a team in 1970, only 1 person had ever scored 500 goals. Maurice the rocket Richard.
Vancouver and Buffalo are the 13th and 14th entries into the NHL. Quite old actually. Still cupless though!
Right after I posted that comment I remembered how many expansions have happened since we entered the league and cringed a little bit lmao. 😭 we actually unc status
Well they're consistent
Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
We’re so kind
Meanwhile, they've never had a player score a 500th goal for them.
I think Sundin is the only 500 goal scorer to play for them at all.
This franchise is the equivalent of a morbidly obese person desperate to lose weight but never does. Heartbroken, they decide nothing matters and gets takeout as a result.
Tldr: fuck it, let’s have ALL the bad records
I'm pretty sure this will on end up Jeopardy at some point
Same as allowed goals by first time playing hockey rookies on the other team
If there is a team with a milestone or narrative, they will accomplish it against the Canucks.
Pretty good All-Star team right there
Pretty good Hall of Fame team there
The Canucks are Loose Lois?
This is why we need to tank
Feels great
I'm really glad this is backed by science and not just our delusions
It's like winning your own championship. For losers.
Wow what a great stat to be proud of! /s
I knew this intuitively as a Canucks fan since '86
But on the bright side, Maek Messier scored his 600th FOR the Canucks!!
What team has had the 2nd most, and how many?
You know I'm resigned to losing this season and probably for 5 more after this, but it still pisses me off they let Kane score 2 and get 500
Go Canucks go!
LMAO what a stat
Such a neat useless stat.
pretty sure Gretzky also broke the goals record (at the time) against the canucks
The 500 hockey Canucks 👍
There have been exactly 50 500-goal scorers in the NHL, so we're at 14%.
EXPERIENCE CANUCKS HOCKEY
You're welcome 500-goal club.
Yay! This a win for the Canucks, no other team has come close
Of course we are
The Canucks are the Phoenix Coyotes of Canada LMAO I hope you guys enjoy being cursed as Canucks fans
When do we raise the banner?
We are losers
So dumb, I would’ve done anything for Kane not to have his 500th against my club and Canucks pull the goalie knowing it will happen, just gifted him it.
You wouldve done anything? Incredibly bizarre take. Who cares what team he gets it against , its completely meaningless, especially into an empty net
Bizarre take it’s a milestone goal that I wouldn’t want against my team that’s all. Where the Canucks have a building sheet of guys who have milestones goals on them and he’s a former Hawk another reason not to like it.
Oh no…anyway
