BrockBoester Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If you're gonna lose, you might as well score some mucho goals, eh? I miss the games in the 80s and 90s where there'd be like 8-7 scores, and tonight's game got me pondering a question. One that I was wondering if I could get the brilliant posters on CDC to answer as well, to see if people agree with me or not. As you know, this is one of the most important things in life, to be on the side that more people agree with! That and popularity, good looks and wealth of course. So my question to you Canucks fans is this: If you have to watch the Canucks lose, would you prefer a score of 7-5, or 2-0? For me a loss is always just barely more tolerable if the good guys actually snipe a few sick top cheesers on the opposing team's goal guardian. Is this just me in the minority here, and people don't care what the score is in a losing effort? Or do many of you prefer, like myself, to have a high scoring loss? Anyway, interested to hear what you all think and here's to hoping there are many more 5+ goal efforts to come from the blue-and-green clad men wearing orcas this year and for all eternity to come! 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Depends. Probably the 7-5 game would be more entertaining but I also like the low scoring games if there’s lots of chances, hits and goalies standing on their heads. The 2-0 loss is extremely boring if none of the above apply 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 A 2-0 shutout could be exciting when Luongo was doing it and extending his shutout streak to 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'd rather a 7-5 Canucks loss than a 1-0 Canucks win in the preseason for entertainment purposes. As long as it's mostly AHL guys and our 5th string goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Winter Soldier Posted September 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2019 Always prefer an entertaining loss if I have to watch one. Don't get your Tryamkin fetish, tho. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My favourite games include goals being scored on both sides - a 5-4 game is about perfect for the optimum entertainment value - one that goes back and forth and we win of course. It doesn’t completely blow out the goalies either. Also like me an 11-1 trouncing if CAL every now and then for nostalgic reasons. Would be fine if it’s EDM too. Its definitely nice to see goals being scored in bunches this pre-season and not just EPs line like last year producing. How many do we have so far? A lot more then last year. Glad both Demko and Markstrom have been solid so far too. And that AG scored a couple yesterday - he keeps it up he just might make us waive someone and I’m fine with that too (someone who will get picked up that is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of coarse we'd all like to see some goals by the Canucks but I didn't participate in this poll because the 2nd question is ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amebushi Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 A game with goals is going to be more entertaining than one without. I don’t care who scores the Stanley cup winning goal for the Canucks, but if I was a betting man I’d put my money on someone who actually has a contract with the team. Although if the big guy really can be captain and score the winning goal from Russia we should definitely retire his number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve french Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Sure, I like goals, but I would say I really prefer a back and forth, competitive game. Plenty of those end up low scoring. Last nights game wasn't particularly good watching. Rather than more goals, I could use some rivalries again, some emotion and anger. Many of the regular season games feel too pedestrian anymore. I do like to see some scoring from the team in a loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Last night in Washington the Cougars lost to UCLA 67 to 63, UCLA overcame a 32 point defecit in the htird quarter. Absolute madness - gotta love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you actually believe your poll questions to be possible. (Scoring the GWG in the SCF is possible I guess), then you are mocking the big strapping Russian, getting a laugh at his expense.

LowerMainLander18 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Was Tryamkin here for the camp? What's up with the poll? He's not here. Move on. Look at this '19~'20 season. As for the question, I would rather see 2-0. Rather have a game that potentially have the other team's goalie outplay us than have our goalie give up 7 goals. That is scary.

MystifyNCrucify Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Delusional if you think A) Tryamkin is coming back B ) He would be at all close to nhl game ready, let alone seamlessly adapt to new systems on the fly. C) He ( his wife) even wants to come back. Cut bait. Trade his rights for a seventh rounder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
