(Finally) Coming to Grips with the 2010-11 Canucks Season

Like many of you, I found the end of the Canucks' season to be devastating. Rather than deal with the pain, I pretty much shifted gears once the season ended, preferring to (mostly) ignore hockey and to focus on reclaiming my social and academic lives from the ravages of two months of playoff hockey. It has only been recently, as I have begun to look forward to the upcoming season, that I have started to come to grips with the way that the 2010-11 season ended.
My only point of comparison for such a loss is the 1994 Stanley Cup Final, at which time I was 10 years old. While that loss was devastating for me at the time, I could at least take solace in the fact that the Canucks were the underdog, that they kept battling up until the final whistle, and that the possibility of a return trip to the Finals didn't seem so remote. 17 years of Finals-less hockey later, I do not take the possibility of June hockey for granted in the same way. Not that I don't have confidence in this current iteration of the Canucks - they certainly look poised to challenge for a Finals berth for at least the next few seasons - but I am also aware that just making it into the final round of the playoffs is a massive accomplishment in and of itself. There are no guarantees in the future, although I remain optimistic.
I don't want to dwell on the details of the Cup Finals, because I have already had too many painful fantasies about what could have gone differently if certain injuries hadn't occurred, certain players had stepped up, or certain bounces had gone the Canucks' way. Such is hockey, and there's no point in dwelling on it too much - I firmly believe that lucky/unlucky breaks tend to even out over time. I am not thrilled with how many things went in the series against Boston, and ultimately I have to concede that, based on how they played, that the Bruins deserved to win the series. My biggest beef would be the officiating - I wish the series had not devolved into a series of cheap shots, taunts, and dives. Both teams have huge amounts of talent, and I would have preferred to see this on display unimpeded by the kind of crap that went on in the games. I don't think, for example, that much of the predictable abuse that has been hurled at the Sedins for their lack of offensive production is fair given the abuse that they endured game in and game out. But is is over, the Bruins won, and it is time to accept that and move on.
Putting aside the final couple games of the season is hard to do. But once those memories are pushed aside, there are a ton of amazing memories to look back upon from what has gone down as, thus far, the Canucks' best ever season in its history. Through 82 regular season games and 25 playoff contests, the Canucks gave us a ton of great memories to look back upon. The regular season awards speak for themselves. The playoffs - in which we finally defeated the Blackhawks and battled to deserving series victories against Nashville and San Jose - were an amazing ride. I am proud of the team, thrilled with its overall performance during the season, and grateful that I got to share so much of the journey with all of you here at Nucks Misconduct.
This post was inspired by another article I have started to work on, which is my Top 10 goals of the season (coming soon!), and it made me realize how much I love this blog and this community. Going through YouTube to watch some of the great plays from this season brought back memories of sharing those moments in Game and Post-Game Threads, often staying up until well past 1 AM EST to pore over the brilliance of a Kesler hat-trick, a Sedin OT winner, a Luongo shutout, or a massive playoff win. It was an incredible season, the Finals not withstanding, and I am glad I got to share it with you all. I look forward to more of the same in 2011-12 - only two months to go, and then we drop the puck on a brand new season. Can't wait!

I agrree with most of your analysis. The breaks are made by hard work and the laws of physics. The Canucks talked the talk but never walked the walk. They didn’t challenge Thomas nearly enough (whether they were too injured to attempt or lacked the killer instinct who knows). I think Raffii Torres will prove to be a large loss. As for the fourth line, will be decided in camp. Hodgson I think has a shot to not only make the team but potentially make the second line and should get a look with Raymond and possibly Kesler out. What concerns me too is Luongo’s psyche. I think he’ll be ok in the regular season but I don’t know if he has enough to get us the cup, time will tell.

well written I feel the same way basically and was there in 94 too

The Canucks Game 7 loss was also devastating for me. I finally put on my Canuck hat yesterday, and since I live in San Jose now thats quite the big deal. I love my team but to see them not deliver was just hard to swallow. I am not impressed with the off season pick ups and losses and seeing San Jose and LA get better is scary. There is still one piece of the puzzle missing on offence and time to give Schneids a Go….

I like how
barely anyone is commenting on this article because no one wants to relive the devastation. We are all moving on which is a good thing, but it’s still a recent painful memory.
On the bright side, we still have our cup-contending core and we are just in the process of slotting in the missing pieces. Looking forward to the start of the season!

(sighs) okay, i know… it will ge better, this team will challenge for the cup again and come out on top. game 7 may have been lost, but this is not over. oh yeah, fuck the bruins. on a side note, i am so looking forward to lbackhawks fans standing up for that meateha dm carcillo, then the schaudenfr eude as he destroys them from within.

I actually am expecting for things to get worse before they get better for me. I have a feeling that watching hockey again in a couple months will only remind me of how close we got, and how we are right back to square one.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
That's why I'm not going to watch much
and am going to throw myself even more into the local hockey scene.

Here’s how I feel (feelings stolen from Canuckles)
I won’t lie
I’m really disappointed that we didn’t win. But I am also really proud of our team. I think they really gelled and fought through a lot to get as far as they did. There are things that need to be done to win, and maybe we have to wait another ten years. But this was a great season and our team should be proud of what they achieved.

Our next three first round picks
which we basically wasted anyway plus 18 million cash, Greg Adams and another player. Didn’t have the cash apparently.

one of them
turned into Naslund.
This my sound selfish, but I’m glad things led to where they did now. The old organization was rotten inside.
That's a bit of a stretch
Naslund was acquired for a cast off. Cast off straight up for cast off. We could have gotten that done with any number of guys.
And imagine Bure, who scored 60 goals in his second season, playing with the Great One. Might have scored 80 or 90 goals.

Yeah
With Gretzky they might not have been able to draft the Sedins at 2&3. But that 94 run could have been different…
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I dunno, maybe the presence of Gretzky in Vancouver causes a translink bus to run over him or something and he misses the playoffs and we lose in 1994 anyways.
CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST.

Gotta say
I’m still pissed off at the team. What a spectacular season, and at the end, for whatever reason, they just didn’t have the gas to pull it off. So yes, this may be unpopular opinion, but I’m pissed off. Don’t give me shit about injuries, there’s no excuses. With the depth we had on this team, SOMEBODY should have been able to pick it up a bit…if they all wanted the cup, they would have. Instead, it appeared to me in the finals that they just decided when rome got suspended that the cards were against them, and instead of manning up an extra gear, they let kesler and the twins play thru pain and be ineffective. And don’t even talk to me about not standing up for the team mates. How the fuck does marchand throw a half dozen punches at a league superstar, and NOBODY ON THE WHOLE FUCKING TEAM takes him to task for that??? Take the 5 minute penalty, but punch that little fucker out. THAT would be a penalty we all could agree with. Probably would have juiced the team up too. Where the fuck was torres and his big hits? Where was glass’ bear fighting ability? Where was burrows’ hero play when we needed it? Why was Ehrhoff viewed as such an invaluable defenseman, when frankly, he was pretty half assed as far as defense goes, and let’s face it, the fucker is a DEFENSEMAN. Even Bieksa…where was Juice mode? I never saw him go hulk once… And raymond, before that bullshit uncalled intent to injure play, where was his speed and skill combination? Shit, where was it all season? The only guys on the team I wasn’t mad at in the final round were Hansen cuz he gave a shit, Malhotra cuz he really wasn’t up to 100%, Tanev for stepping into a big theatre and not crumbling, and yes, haters, Luongo, who got hung out to dry more than once. Maybe hamhuis too, just cuz he always looks like he’s confused and perplexed by the whole process.
Phew… i feel better now. Nothing is as cathartic as free association spewing. Shoulda done that a month ago.

you can’t evaluate what went wrong and hot to improve without taking injuries in account.
rarara no excuses manpumping is what pisses ME off.
The only thing injuries in the playoffs tells you
about how to improve is that depth is key. GMMG already knew that. Saying we lost the cup cause of injuries is piss poor excuse making. Every team has injuries.

Boston had less injuries (Claude Julien admitted they were lucky in that regard).
Canucks had more injuries.
I just am tired that suggesting that one team had more favorable circumstance in the other is some sort of sacrilege.
And it works both ways. Bolland being out was favorable to us vs Chicago. San Jose got itself pretty beat up before we faced them as well.
We went into the playoffs pretty beat up as well, missing Manny as well as some other players coming off injuries, so that’s cool, too.
I agree
Injuries play a part in a series. I believe if both teams are healthy the Nucks beat the Bruins but like Mike Gillis said you can never have enough depth and you need luck on your side to win the cup. We were too beat up and ran out of luck, this team is good enough to contend for the next couple of years at least so at least we can look forward to some exciting hockey in our future.

I agree that injuries are a factor
but they are far from the only factor and far from the deciding factor. I don’t have a problem saying that one team was slightly healthier than the other. That’s fine. But if you are in anyway saying that is WHY we lost. That’s an excuse. Teams have won the cup with lots of injuries before and teams will do it again. You still gotta find a way to win.

I don’t agree. on the contrary, I think I could say that’s why we lost and would probably be proven to be quite right. It went 7 games.
That said, I’m not unhappy to know losing exposed some line up holes as well. No term is perfect, and It’s only an excuse if you don’t try to address those and hit your head against the wall with the exact same line up.
We scored 8 goals
in 7 games. Injuries aren’t why we lost. The Sedins were playing. Kesler was playing. Burrows was playing. Scoring was our problem and saying injuries caused us to stop scoring would be making excuses. Enough of our good players were playing that we should have scored more. We didn’t lose because of injuries imho.

You mean
pistols at dawn?
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow, I'm watching him but who's watching me?

It’s dawn somewhere

well
i guess I can see why you wouldn’t like that; it’s too bad you missed what I was saying completely, though. I wasn’t saying that kesler or the twins should have done better, I was saying others on the team should have picked up their slack. THAT’s the point of no excuses. Every team has injuries in the playoffs. What makes a team the champs is how they deal with those injuries. ‘Rarara manpumping’ is not only not my point OR my style, it’s a bit insulting.

Rarara Manpumping
sounds like an 80s new wave band.

probably Haiti – perhaps Manpumping is a Rara band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rhNy8XhOk4&feature=related
the PAIN
the pain from the finals has not passed here in Nova Scotia. As a lonely Canucks fan I’m used to the abuse, surrounded by Habs, Leaf and Bruins fans (even the Senators have a following here!) But to see my team go down in such dramatic fashion and now to listen to all the band wagon jumpers go on about what a great team the Bruins have and what a hero Brad Marchand is ~ it’s too much. Good player, but not a fan favorite here in the past (benched in the Mooseheads playoff run), and now to have to endure the Cup parade here next month! I’m leaving town that weekend.
My suggestion for the summer -bring in Dickie Eklund for some boxing lessons for the Sedins! Enough being pushed around, time to push back!
amen on the Sedin part especially

Certainly injuries to Kes and Hank limited their offensive abilities and no amount of depth the Canucks possessed at that point could have effectively replaced those two.
Having said that, the most enduring and visceral memories I have are of that most magnificent of Canuck seasons that we were all witness to, and those memories make me 8). I’ve rooted for many losing teams over the years and the mantra, “there’s always next year,” is ingrained in me for life.
