Yes.

So the Canucks have 15 regulation wins on the season, which is less than the NHL by a mile.

They have two games remaining on the schedule.

By the way, number two on that list, the team they're chasing, is the 2021 Canucks, who played 56 games in a pandemic-shortened season and still finished dead last in the all-Canadian division.

And the 1994-95 Canucks, who due to a lockout only played 48 games.

The lowest total that the Canucks have ever had in an 82-game season, you have to go back to the year at which they selected Quinn Hughes...

And in that season, they won 19, which as a result of these two fun shootout wins or overtime wins, they no longer have a chance to get right.
