Over the last four seasons, the Canucks have made the playoffs just once, and fans are hoping the trend of missing the postseason won't continue.
There are reasons for fans to be optimistic, one of them being the team's first round pick this year Elias Pettersson.
The skilled 18-year-old continued showing flashes of brilliance this summer with a stunning between-the-legs goal in the shootout at a Vaxjo Lakers skills competition.
Get excited Canucks fan because this kid seems like he's got a ton of skill.
If you're still not excited, though, check out these goals he scored during the team's prospects game.
The Canucks might not make the playoffs this season, but the future clearly looks bright.
