"What a kick in the you-know-where for Vancouver Hockey fans.."
@DonTaylor5 and @DhaliwalSports shared their reaction to #LeafsForever getting the first overall pick and where this ranks on the list of painful moments for the #Canucks.

The Vancouver Canucks draft lottery luck since they were last competitive:
2014 | 6.2% chance to climb - lost, picked #6
2016 | 48.4% chance to climb - lost, picked #5
2017 | 69.3% chance to climb - lost, picked #5
2018 | 39.6% chance to climb - lost, picked #7
2019 | 64.8% chance to climb - lost, picked #10
2021 | 11.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #9
2022 | 1.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #15
2023 | 6.3% chance to climb - lost, picked #11
2025 | 1.1% chance to climb - lost, picked #15
2026 | 44.3% chance to win - lost, picked #3
That's a 98.57% chance that they would have won at least one time across the 10 lotteries.
Perrault. Neely. 3 Cup Final losses. 2 riots. Messier. Bure leaves. Lidstrom from centre. “My contract sucks”. Hughes leaves. The misery list is long for Canucks’ fans—-and now includes losing a draft lottery to, of all teams, the Leafs
The #Canucks drop to 3rd overall, as the Maple Leafs (#1) and the San Jose Sharks (#2) win the two draws at the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery.
It is the 7th time in Vancouver's franchise history that the club has moved down at the NHL draft lottery. The club has never moved up.
Canucks Sports & Entertainment is heartbroken by the sudden passing of John Garrett, a cherished member of our family whose loss is deeply felt across our entire organization and community.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to John’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed.
Forever a Canuck.

Connor McDavid laying people out!!! This is the best hockey you or I will ever see. No NHL team will ever come close to this level of talent, and there is no greater stage!!!
LETS GOOO CANADA!!
Update: we are more than 2 minutes into the #canucks game. The entire Craig Berube Interview is being shown. We are getting to the broadcast now. The #mapleleafs are sportsnet's darling. I refuse to believe anybody who says otherwise. this is INCREDIBLY disrespectful.
