  1. While I am never of the thought the team should lose on purpose(Tank), if they happen to lose and gain the chance to draft 1st, I won't be wholly disappointed, imagine a line that included* Bo Horvat, Luke Hughes and Hog - Dukes of Hazzard Line w Bo Luke and Boss Hog
  2. I applaud JT for speaking his mind, wish more players did that instead of towing the company line, getting the same generic emotionless responses for every situation gets old fast. Nice to see some honest passion and someone saying what I'm not positive but suspect others on the team are thinking and feeling.
  3. Agree with JT health and safety concerns, no games, 1 practice, 90% of the team in covid protocol in what 3 or 4 weeks, that would be difficult even with a fully healthy bunch of athletes, let alone ones who whatever % of those had covid and have lingering after effects ie lowered stamina, strength, muscle tone, lung capacity etc etc , I would bet money are most are not going to be in playing shape. Besides that the absolute $&!# condensed schedule raises the risks for injury, then the NHL and team would be up $&!# creek. Was the revamped schedule made in consultation with the team ? If not and it was forced and major injuries happen the optics won't look good for the NHL organization. If by some huge miracle the canucks play out of their minds and other teams above fall, the canucks make the playoffs, They'll be at a huge disadvantage going in fatigue wise...I'll support them but I also understand their concerns and protests.
  4. On a side note, who we replacing Benn with now that we got a 6th from the Jets for him
  5. 1.Can't see Canucks protecting Highmore 2.Can't see him being chosen in expansion draft. 3. Can see him trying to compete for a 4th line spot next year but losing out to someone else in our system. 4. With limited info organizationally, Only positive I can even remotely see is the -225k payroll saving...not including whatever slight raise Gaudette will get next year. 5. Ultimately imo they sold low, made trade for sake of making a trade.
  6. Not semantics at all.....at the end of shootout when one team ultimately has more goals, they are declared the ___________? If one team has more goals at the end of shootout it is not a _________ game and the team with less goals is the _________ of the game therefore the point they got for ultimately __________ the game is called the loser point.....if the game was continued after regulation, guess what they are still playing the game, its not the end of the game. Conclusion of the game is when one team scores more goals by all avenues as per game structure rules then everyone goes off the ice and goes home, there is always a winner now, which means there is always a loser. OT and shootout is part of the game structure. End of regulation does not mean end of the game.
  7. The NHL has chosen to structure their game where everyone game now has a winner and loser and their procedure implemented into their game format is OT and Shootout, then end of game. A game isn't over until one team gets more goals, and everyone has left the ice. Anyhow night shift finished, been up for 19hrs, bedtime. 4-3 Canucks in regulation time, Vesey gets a goal.
  8. I know what you are trying to get me to say but the point is Irrelevant because OT and Shootout are part of the game, the game doesn't end until one team has more goals, hence no tie at* the end of the game. If you want ties in the game, eliminate shootouts.
  9. I've never liked games ending in an individual skills competition, its a team game. I'd prefer be 2 for win 0 for any type of loss.
  10. Fact is games can either end in a tie or there is a winner, can't be both. OT and shootout is part of the game because it contributes to a conclusion...= 1 point for losing is a loser point. If there were ties in the game, there would only be OT and no shootout for a guaranteed winner.
  11. Your reply makes no sense to the original question of why is there even a loser point or even my response to the query....a game can end with a winner either in reg, OT or skills competition and still not need a loser point....the loser point is a participation ribbon, it rewards failure.
  12. Because even the NHL needs participation ribbons nowadays, wouldn't want to hurt professional athlete feelings by not rewarding failure because they at least tried to succeed
  13. I have had 7+ concussions of varying severity, I add in the plus because I have several other instances where I cannot remember what happened but did not get diagnosed. I digress, Never have I ever had a doc tell me a definitive timeline of recovery let alone suggest three days..I would think...hope that there is something lost in translation and they mean he will be off for 3 days before his next assessment, not meaning that he will be better in 3 days. Even though the chances are slim to none we see him this year, I hope for a quick recovery, but hope he takes his time and doesn't rush back for their playoffs.
  14. https://youtu.be/8BX8TotgGmY Speaking of Podz, has there been any update on him after he had to be helped off the ice yesterday, haven't found any yet. Put link to vid of his recent incident.
