\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nThe Canucks will hit home ice for the first time this season on Thursday, but hundreds of tickets remain unsold for the game here at Rogers Arena.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday, the cheapest ticket that could be found was $150, while lower-bowl resale tickets are going for more than $1,000.<\/p>\n
This is all for a team that, as we heard at the end of last season, finished last in the league and is now in a rebuild.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sedins \u2014 the co-presidents of hockey operations \u2014 and Ryan Johnson, who is now the general manager, understood this team needed a shift,\u201d said Randip Janda, colour commentator for the Vancouver Canucks at Kiss Radio.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were not able to compete at the highest levels anymore, so they needed younger players. That\u2019s been one major shift for this table.\u201d<\/p>\n
JC Clemas, also known as \u201cNucko,\u201d is a Canucks fan with a big following on Instagram, @nucksmemes. While he may not be the most optimistic heading into this season, he\u2019s still holding out hope and excitement for the team\u2019s young talent.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing a lot of these young players making steps toward being better, developing into these players they can be down the road for us when they need to be competitive \u2026 I think looking at that individual success and seeing them make steps from last season is a big thing about this season,\u201d said Clemas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not about putting wins on the board, but wins in future seasons. That comes from the development this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Janda says the expectation for the team is that this year will be a marathon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are not in a sprint to win the Stanley Cup,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to take time as they develop the young players, as they get experience, and as they get the right players in the building.\u201d<\/p>\n
So while the price of in-person tickets may be hard for some fans to justify, they still plan to tune in, and some are holding out hope of bringing the Cup home.<\/p>\n
