Canucks are playing in and winning meaningful games with 8 games left in the season, for that I am grateful, this team bends but doesn't break, depleted forward group without Boeser,Pearson,Hoglander, and Highmore, not gonna be pretty but they muck it out, very proud

@bigbadcanucks I wouldn't call it a long road ahead....
We need to get one good d-man on the right side instead of the jambalaya of different experiments that we have right now. If trading out Hamonic was possible, then Myers moving in the summer after his very stellar season is not that hard to imagine anymore.
Playing at a 105 pace over 60 games is nothing to sneeze at.
We're going to gain a bit of extra cap flexibility this off-season and hopefully refresh our stock or prospects by getting an extra pick or two in 2022 or 2023.
I'm expecting a 100 point season from our guys next year, while coming in 2-3 million under the salary cap and not getting any older. That is perfectly attainable and would be a nice accomplishment by Allvin and company.

Yeah I'm hoping Bubble Demko comes back and a little early, just in time to go on a late season run, and then hopefully Brock and the reinforcements can return for an unexpected dark horse run.
Also agreed with @VancouverHabitant, the inefficient contracts remaining are Myers, Poolman, Dickinson and to lesser extent OEL (not including Pearson in this). If we don't trade him, I think we could always repurpose Dickinson and pair him with a defensively capable 3rd C and another Motte-type on the other wing for a shutdown unit so the scorers can go out and focus on offense. Myers can probably be moved with a mild sweetener, and maybe Poolman can go for a 4th or something. -

@Vinny in Vancouver while it's true about their key injuries and it would've been hugely beneficial to have them, it's not like they have the cap space to fit them (esp. with the Dadonov Debacle). Having Smith come off the books might offer some relief (as would actually trading the guy they call "Dad"), but it's still pretty tight considering Roy, Hague and Kolesar are all key RFA's. To move Dad they might have to empty their cupboards again and even then it'll be a tight fit (plus they suffered with Lehner out, which shows how important he really is to them).

If you're not proud of what this team has accomplished since December, then you're not a fan, the covid, the massive injury bug mixed in playing 3rd string goalies and dmen from Abby, this team still competed and found ways to get points, its been an incredible run, its been fun to be part of a race this late for once, there's a lot of good pieces here, summer should be very interesting

@TNucks1 that's true they will never play to lose. I just find it odd to be proud of the what the team "accomplished" since December. Wins are nice and all, but the end result is that we hindered our draft pick while not making the playoffs. I don't think that's a good outcome, nor does it make someone less of a fan for viewing it that way.
Hopefully some savvy moves by management in the summer set this team up for long term success. Fingers crossed.

Does the NHL wanna look at the Canucks 6 goals tonight and see if they can reverse any of them? Must suck for them seeing us get 2 points, bunch of degenerates
-
A 2nd straight game where the league took 2 points away from the Canucks, unbelieveable, Garland goal should have tied the game, and a follow through high stick on Motte is reversed?? Who else in the league gets this sort of crap treatment on a weekly basis?

@Pears I think it’s more a case of refs that are incompetent more than anything else. Sure there are Kelly Sutherland types but imho, there are very few refs/officials that are good at their jobs anymore.
