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.
