"We don’t deserve the playoffs this year": NHL fans react as Canucks lose to Hurricanes for fourth straight defeat

Fans reacted as the Vancouver Canucks lost 2-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday at Lenovo Center, marking their fourth straight defeat. Dustin Tokarski made 14 saves for the Hurricanes in a shutout.

The Canucks managed only 14 shots on goal, while the Hurricanes had 20. Despite the loss, Vancouver performed well in faceoffs, winning 53.3%.

The Canucks tweeted the result, and fans quickly responded in the comments section.

"We don’t deserve the playoffs this year," one said.

"Shutout by Dustin Tokarski 🤦‍♂️ Brutal effort for 90% of the game. 4 shots a period aint gonna do it. Need to wake up asap!," another noted.

"This wouldn’t be a problem if management wasn’t so f**king cheap and signed Zadorov. Why the f**k do we have losers like desharnais and forbert, f**k this team," one fan said, criticizing the management.

Vancouver's struggles have frustrated fans, who have questioned the team's decisions and direction. Here are some more reactions from fans on X:

"I’ve seen enough. The Vancouver Canucks are wasting the talent of Quinn Hughes. Trade him immediately to the Edmonton Oilers for future considerations and give a great player like him a real chance to compete," one fan wrote.

"Brutal. 15 shots on goal. Either Carolina defence was outstanding or Van didn’t give a shot enough to shoot. Going with the latter. When will th bleeding stop. Tochett no coach of the year this year," another fan mentioned.

"This is getting really embarrassing after new year got shutout twice! Canucks are getting worse now! Can’t win a game either home or on the road!," a fan pointed.
