Ownership need to realize they're lucky with how much leeway they get in terms of criticism. I prefer to joke and keep things light, but the stark reality is I could lean into the negative side a lot more lol.

Every time they sniff a tiny bit of success, it's all in with the club. Instead of trying to set up the team for long term success, it's always a race to see if they can "get in and see what happens?"

I have spent years putting my hands up and going "OK I guess we'll see" to the aggressively optimistic crowd but after a decade of seeing this team repeatedly slide into the not good enough to win but not bad enough to get a top pick, you wonder if things will ever change

Since 2015 the Canucks winning percentage is 16th in the league. Dead center of the mushy middle, just tickling the playoffs from afar.

Coming off of last year's generational locker room breakdown and now heading into a season of what will quickly become more and more about Quinn Hughes' future (and rightfully so), it's pretty hard to sell the vision for this team.

Then you add in the off ice stuff:

- The Athletic ranking them 31st org in the league
- New chairs taking 198 years to install
- Practice rink seemingly impossible only in BC
- Social media policies that enforce the blandest approach possible

It's all very dour.

I just don't know how they don't look in the mirror and think "ok what can we do differently" vs continuing to stay the course.

Team hasn't had a viable long term plan in place since Mike Gillis left.

Again, they are lucky coverage is so nice to them lol.
