They weren't elite last year. They were a good not great team playing in the worst division in hockey. First found fodder to whatever team they faced. There are a lot of similarities wether Canucks fans want to believe it or not but I believe the Flames were a better team in 2007-2009 than the Canucks are today.
I actually think Fonzie is a good coach and predict there will times this season where he will have the Canucks looking like a contender but when the playoffs roll around the usual suspect will show up and get smoked like last season.
