  1. Not exactly, we'd still need a miraculous amount of help as well as winning our last 4 in a row. Luongo and the Panthers just didn't allow our thread to snap today.
  2. Just seen that mafia looking guy behind Sutter again, he must be a season ticket holder.
  3. I'd like to see Lack get his 5th goose egg of the season in a shootout loss.
  4. Totally agree, the morning show would be a lot better if Pratt was on his own or had an actual sports guy as co-host. Bro Jake should stick to classic rock. I appreciated what Gillis said in his interview but I'm still not convinced he's the right man for the job. In a way it seemed like he was throwing Torts and the ownership under the bus to save his own ass, or at least make it look a bit better.
  5. How many beers did you have last night?
  6. Prediction: AV will be chuckling at the end of this game and chewing his gum in a relaxed and satisfied fashion.
  7. I hope his hand is broken, cripple the Ducks playoff chances.
  8. Anybody think we can hit 9-1 again?
  9. On the positive side we go home now for all but 1 of our remaining games, if I'm not mistaken. It's too bad we didn't beat the Avs but 3 out of 4 points on the road in a back to back is ok, especially with one of the games in Denver where the air is much thinner. Write the season off indefinitely if we lose one of our home games, until then...
  10. Anybody remember the last time we chased an opposing goalie from the net?
  11. So will Booth be bought out or not?
  12. Another thing that comes immediately to my mind are the twin albatross contracts he gave the Sedins earlier this season, he should have waited on that. If those guys dont bounce back in a major way next season, well needless to say it will be quite a millstone around this team's neck.
  13. Pride perhaps, but jobs? Most of these guys have gotten their big payday and NTC, they dont have much to worry about except their golf swing.
  14. This is my very basic view of Gillis' time as GM here. A three year ascent to the top of the league standings capped off with what should have been a championship. Following this with a slow(ish) three year descent (fast in terms of playoffs) which has now become a rapid free-fall into mediocrity at best. What kind of shrewd, competent general manager with maximum resources allows a top team to become a virtual bottomfeeder within that short timeframe? Personally I have not liked this second half of Gillis' career here, especially in terms of the team's "success". I think he's in over his head and it's about time to look for his replacement.
  15. If we dont beat Buffalo can we then all agree that the season is over?
  16. Who's enjoyed our last 2 playoff showings? 3 if you include the 2011 Final. So if by some miracle we squeeze into the playoffs next month and then what happens? This team isn't as good as last year, it's noticeably worse than the year before that, it's not the team that played in the Final, and there would be no home ice advantage this year. What are we all expecting from this group? You cant really expect more than what we've gotten in the last 3 series' we've played. There is no way this team wins more than 1 playoff round, and that would have to be a monumental upset considering any team we faced first would be a juggernaut. We are not a contender so what's the point? This season is blown, they ought to be trying for the higher pick now and with any luck the necessary changes will be made for next season. Maybe then we could take a run at it.
  17. In his defense, Russell is pretty high on Jensen right now.
  18. I guess we have the faintest flicker of hope for the playoffs now, but then what? California crushes us at some point and then we repeat a similar process next year with an ordinary draft pick? I'm not unhappy we won the game tonight but I'm not sure we're doing ourselves any favors.
  19. Our goose is cooked so let's lose this game but put on a show for the fans, and give Markstrom a start for a change. 7-5 Preds.
  20. You screwed us again Luongo. You couldn't hold the Canucks to less than 3 goals in your own rink? Thanks a lot.
  21. I hadn't cared for Luongo in quite a long time, but when he wore a Canuck jersey I always rooted for him. I cant believe it but I'm actually rooting for him now that he wears the panther. Do us one last favor Luongo. Help us come closer to that higher draft pick.
  22. If we switch the GM and coach now we might win too many games. Let's keep the losers who are already in place now and go for the good pick.
  23. We dont know yet if Horvat was a good pick. Hodgson was, but Gillis traded him for a cementhead who is presently suspended.
