  1. Buffalo is like that sad dog you wanna take to your backyard and put him down.
  2. I think we know who we're taking our 1st round pick on
  3. I missed it. What's the scouting report on her. I expect vivid details...
  4. It's a headshot but I don't think he'll get many games for it.
  5. If torts still slaps Kassian with Booth and Richardson next game instead of HIggins and Kesler after what he did tonight, he's crazy.
  6. Isn't he OK with it being pronounced Jen-sen though?
  7. He's like Chris Drury minus the two-way game. #2 center at best tbh
  8. Does this mean if someone creates a thread "Playoffs, do we really wanna be in them" we will actually end up making it
  9. How did this thread turn into a Luongo argument???
  10. 1. Jensen is a developing player. He will help, but he's a bit of a wild card next season. I could see him in the NHL next season, but I could also see him spend next year in the AHL with Gaunce, Shinkaruk and Fox. 2. Speaking of young players LOOK at what ONE young player has done for this team. All CDC does now is fawn over Jensen and label him as a sniper that we need. THIS is what having young impact players does to your team. This is why it is in this organization's interests to get more of these kind of players. Not making the playoffs accomplishes this and frankly they will not make the playoffs. 3.We have had good teams on paper before and we have had one win to show for over 2 years. Toronto has firepower like that too but they always look like they are either a serious contender or being on the verge of imploding at any given moment due to lack of consistency. 4. I never said they purposely will lose games. The "tanking" has been done by losing hard this year and not acquiring any rentals at the deadline to make this team any better. Players never lose intentionally, it would ruin the integrity of the game. All I'm saying is that it is pointless to hope they make the playoffs when it is abundantly clear they will not. They will and should end up with a high pick because this team desperately needs it. If management thought this was a playoff team, they would have gotten someone to help and refused to trade Luongo at the deadline even if he did want out. Management's actions speak louder than their words. They intend on picking high this draft. 5. I never said it was delusional to make the playoffs NEXT year. Only this year it's delusional. This team needs to reassess and go into next season ready to win. If they aren't a winning team by the next trade deadline, rebuild. 6. It's true that getting a star player doesn't guarantee a cup, but the Caps positioned themselves in such a way that they will still have long term success. How long do the Sedins realistically have compared to a star entering his prime. They also added a young talented centerman in Kuznetsov, who owned us in our last meeting. THAT is what a young impact player can do. 7. I never said the Sedins were bad. I just said they won't be much better than they were in the shortened season. We need serious secondary scoring to support them from now on or this team will be spinning its tires in the mud. Most players start declining around 36 and it's not far-fetched to think the Sedins will as well. 8. You're right, anything can happen but those players aren't exactly getting younger. That was the point I was trying to make. We could go into a rebuild or we could be a serious contender. It is too early to tell how next season will go. There are too many variables to make a serious prediction. 9. You ignored what I said about cap space. You can throw Vanek a bag of cash, but if he doesn't wanna come here he won't. I pointed out Detroit had a lot of cap space and was willing to do anything to get Suter, Garrison, Wideman, Weber, or Schultz but ended up with none of them because they all didn't want to go to Detroit. Why would any FA wanna come here with all of the drama going on and the fact they could get that money from a lot of other teams who are in a better position to get a cup?
  11. 1. Santorelli won't come back, Daniel and Kesler are weeks away and probably won't play 100% for a while. The team would have to go flawless without them and even when they were healthy this team wasn't exactly the cream of the crop. The team can't get worse, but it won't be good enough. 2. I didn't exactly jump off the wagon or proclaim they are worse than those teams, but honestly does this team belong with the likes of the Ducks, Hawks, Avs, etc or do they belong in the same class as the Jets, Preds, Canes, etc. The standings speak for themselves. 3. A healthy Henrik freed up Kesler to be offensive. Kes was playing 25ish minutes a night and looked utterly gassed when Henrik was out. Less minutes for Kesler = fresher Kesler = more scoring. 4. Canucks could rebound next year but at the same time they could also suck. A higher impact NHL ready pick would make this team significantly better but you are against tanking to attain such an asset over delusional hopes of making the playoffs. Yup, people who want such as player are stupid and clearly aren't real fans because they are concerned about the long term state of this team. Let's hope they keep winning in a doomed season because we could all use a "missed the playoffs but played well down the stretch" moral victory 5.The Sedins are old. When healthy they are barely PPG players and are simply CRYING OUT for secondary scoring. We had NO secondary scoring for 2 straight playoffs and we only have playoff win on the road for a reason. Celebrate responsibly my butt. How are we even supposed to celebrate anything when we can't even win a home playoff game over 2 years. They will bounce back to a 70-80 point range, but they are not the players they were 3 years ago and aren't good enough to get the job done by themselves. Again, tanking would get us a player that would help with this nagging issue. 6.Three off-seasons from now the Sedins will be 36, Garrison/Kesler 32, Edler 31, Bieksa 36, and Hamhuis 34. This is not a young core. They will not get any better than they were last season. You could rebuild on the fly now when you have the opportunity to making trades that get you players like horvat/tanking when you have the chance, or you could wait until this team needs a REAL rebuild a la Buffalo style in 3 years. Make moves while they have value or prepare to have a team that REALLY sucks bad in the future. 7. lol Vanek or any big FA in general coming here. He could get a bag of cash anywhere and why would he wanna come here with the giant gong-show going on starring our looney coach and dumb GM. Two years ago Detroit had a bucket load of cap space and couldn't sign ONE big defenseman on the market because they were viewed as a "declining team." Vanek knows about the Luongo saga too and I'm sure he loves blocking shots... 8. This team has little left in the tank. If they suck next year and look like a non-playoff team with their top players healthy they absolutely need a rebuild.
  12. The tanking has already been done. There is a 98% chance by your numbers that the canucks DON'T make the playoffs. The team will definitively lose at least one game in regulation whether you like it or not and 92 points isn't good enough to make it as the 8th seed. Tanking doesn't necessarily happen on purpose because in this case the team genuinely sucks enough to miss the playoffs and get a top 8 pick without even trying. Put it in perspective, this team couldn't hold a 3-0 lead against the ISLANDERS. They tied a franchise record for most goals against from the likes of freaking Okposo, Hamonic, and JOSH BAILEY!!!!! :picard: :picard: AND THIS TEAM IS A PLAYOFF TEAM AFTER THAT EMBARRASSMENT ROFL. Imagine what a real playoff team would do to us 2 shootout wins against mediocre playoff bubble teams and a regulation win against a garbage team later and people think this team is still a playoff team? Get over it. We face the avalanche, ducks, and wild next week. Don't be shocked if we don't beat all of them. Also, if this team loses that 1 regulation game that they can not lose at all costs against the likes of the Sabres, that says a lot about this team and how some of you should re-evaluate what you think about this roster as it is lol.
  13. I looked this up. There is a 1/112 million chance you get killed by a vending machine. I think it's more possible someone on CDC gets killed by a vending machine rather than the canucks making the playoffs.
  14. If the Canucks make the playoffs I'm gonna grow wings and fly Bettman into the sun while singing Bohemian rhapsody in space. Quote me. I know this is possible somehow
  15. OP If we lose ONCE in regulation we can't mathematically make the playoffs hence the tanking movement and gloom. Can this team go perfect for the rest of this season? It's possible. Unicorns are also possible. So are aliens.
  16. That's the spirit SSHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
