1999-2000 Results

For the fourth year in a row, the Canucks missed the playoffs in 1999-2000, but there were signs of improvement. Coach Marc Crawford's team started the season well and Vancouver was even leading their division for a time. Unfortunately, the mid-winter slump arrived right on schedule and the team was soon well back of the pack. Late in the season, the Canucks started winning regularly and began moving up the standings. The surge provided fans some excitement, but in the end, the Canucks just missed the playoffs.
