Canucks were never in the picture for hall anyway, and we are arent a playoff contender yet, as u can see so far this season, we are very inconsistent and at times horrible, more often than actually a 60min team ( we are a 30min team or at most 40min, and thats not every game, thats some games ) ...in order to be a contender, u need a 60min team or close to it....i feel we may miss the playoffs and if we make it, dont expect much, i feel we still need a few more pieces to actually contend, what those pieces are, i dont know so maybe in a couple years, i never expected the canucks to actually make the playoffs this year, it was people on this forum who believed they coulda cause of the great start, but as u see, teams are finding ways to keep our star players in check and so making it hard for us to actually win games, and score.
