In this video, I chat with Canucks writer Arielle Lalande about what it means to love a Vancouver Canucks team that has never won the Stanley Cup and why fans keep coming back anyway. We talk about getting attached to certain players and eras, how all the losing has shaped the fan base, why humour and hope matter through terrible seasons, and how the people and community around the Canucks can ultimately mean more than wins, losses or any one player.
