The Vancouver hockey team is called the Canucks and they have a killer whale as a mascot?
As for the suck-not suck thing it could be a bit like Minnesota sports. The teams are just good enough that you continually hold out hope that they'll win something and then they fail. They fail utterly. They could win everything they needed to win over the course of the season and then at the big game it's like the forget how to play. And yet, we still hold out hope that one day they'll give us the payoff. Because sometimes they do, but only once every few decades. So you end up with rather devote sports fans that are all the same not that surprised when they don't win the big trophy.
