Vancouver Canucks find themselves in a horrible situation with their fans
The Vancouver Canucks find themselves in dire straits, failing to win games at home resulting in a dwindling fan base.
The Vancouver Canucks are coming off a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins last night, but many hockey analysts have noticed a far more alarming trend - an empty arena.
Over the past few games, hockey analysts have noticed all the empty seats at Rogers Arena, and the situation seems to be getting worse.
Last night, the stage was set for an epic Hockey Night in Canada showdown against the Boston Bruins, and the arena should've been packed considering the longstanding rivalry between these two clubs.
The Vancouver Canucks have been a fairly decent team on the road this season, but their performance at home has been somewhat shocking.
According to Ryan Hall of Oilers Daily, there are other issues including economic ones that have affected the entire country which are inflationary costs and decisions made by fans whether to buy tickets to watch hockey or to buy food for their home. Many have elected the latter as they find it extremely difficult due to the high costs of living.

Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet admitted that the team is struggling to get emotionally invested into games, and clearly, so are the fans.

The Winnipeg Jets also had a similar issue a few seasons ago regarding a dwindling fan base and poor home game attendance.
If the Vancouver Canucks fail to get it together at home, it won't be long until Garry Betman gets involved.
