bluesman60 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's all well and nice to see the Canucks in the top 4, but really, does it matter if Bettman cannot keep the owners in check and get the season underway on time? The Rangers should be right up with the top 5, maybe another Canucks /Rangers final if we ever get over this lockout......that would be sweet if we had a chance to even the score.

King of the ES Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I understand you're talking about Stanley Cups, but to discount any accomplishments just because they weren't the ultimate prize is a little narrow minded. It's hardly an easy thing to do, but the first step is to have a team that can be seen as serious contenders. We've been contenders in other people's eyes for a few years now, and for good reason.

TowelPower12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Odds mean nothing, we've been 3rd or 4th highest odds to win the cup (if not higher) for a few years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowelPower12 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Clearly the Canucks have never accomplished anything ever...

Tortorella's Rant Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It's not narrow-minded. Presumably, each NHL team enters each season with the goal of winning a Stanley Cup. That's why they go out and play every night. That's what they're trying to do - win. The Canucks have accomplished this 0 times in their existence. Dance around the issue all you want, but that is quite pathetic, which even the most biased of homers on this site would have a hard time disagreeing with. Yes, I'm aware that "there are 29 losers every year". That doesn't really make it sting any less. The Canucks don't exist to win President's Trophy's, or Smythe Division Championships, or to retire an exorbitant amount of non-Cup-winners' jerseys (believe it or not). To quote Herm Edwards, "[they] play to win the [Cup]!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Odds are worthless. Especially when Pittsburgh and Chicago are always near the top. Make your predictions based off who you think will win, not by what team someone else thinks will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The team doesn't have a great history, right. What the hell is your point exactly? You're not stating anything that people don't already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I guess we should just fold the team now and move it to Portland since we're never going to win anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Edmonton at 40:1 would make for a good sleeper pick. Sooner or later that team is going to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the ES Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sounds good in theory Realistically, I think that the players go out to earn a paycheque every game, and that the Owner owns a Team to collect revenue for himself. They both realise that there has to be some entertainment value to have the customers come back Players and Owners always say this is a Business The Stanley Cup is not the reason they exist That is why they both will risk another season without playing for the Stanley Cup again The Stanley Cup is the Gravy and reward for a long Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
