C'mon, man! These guys are currently the top team in the league, and are never far out of it, but unless it's some dumb comment about the Sedin twins, they never get a mention from you.

What do they have to do to get at least on to the radar?

Win in the playoffs, sorry but we've seen Vancouver play well in the regular season...

i think partly it's the west coast syndrome: teams in all sports (except maybe the lakers) arent covered by east media as much due to the 3 hr time difference. the canucks lack a 'personality', other than the sedins, and they're quite stoic. the team's identity seems somewhat bland, faceless, clinical - they remind me of the nba spurs, getting it done in the win column but without flair or pizazz. that being said, every game i see on tv there are many canuck-jersey wearing fans in the stands!

I would definitely have to agree with that. Aside from Luongo, Sedin's and maybe Kesler, they're generally an unknown team. I mean, they got Ballard and Hamhuis....Salo........Samuelsson (only know that cause he was a Wing)....really i can't name a lot of their players...

They just keep winning, and no one cares. If they are 10 up on the rest of the league and enjoying a 10 straight streak, the only comment will be about how the Sedin twins had coincidental heartburn after last night's team meal.
