So the Canucks are like the NHL's version of the NFL's Detroit Lions?
You be the judge:

Vancouver Canucks (1970-Present)
They're actually worse! Haven't won a championship and had bad seasons for 15 years.

Yes the Lions have been bad the last 10 years but at least they have 3 championships in their history although this was before the Superbowl era but still it's something. And they were pretty decent during the Barry Sanders years and made the playoffs.

I think a more appropriate comparison would be to the NBA's Clippers.
