  1. I like to call them twin albatrosses. Why couldn't that sweaty idiot Gillis wait until the offseason to deal with these floaters?
  2. MELTDOWN! Sorry I had to. Seriously the whole team is playing like crap.
  3. But would it be a step backward from the mild mannered captain we have now who thinks the team is playing their best games when they lose?
  4. Just relax? This team has gone from a PT winning cup contender to the Calgary Flames in a matter of 3 seasons.
  5. If Kesler wont be traded then I think Tortorella should march into the Canucks dressing room, approach Henrik, unceremoniously rip the C off his jersey, walk over to Kesler and hand it to him. I know it's brutal but I'm pissed off the same as Kesler is.
  6. Ah hell, even if we did squeeze into the playoffs we'd be gone within 6 games at most.
  7. It is Gillis' fault that he's signed numerous players who dont produce to big money contracts with NTCs.
  8. We'll see a much better effort from the Canucks tonight. 5-2 Coyotes.
  9. I'm not even sure if the Leafs, Flames, or Oilers would be down 6-1 after two periods.
  10. A testament to how completely f****d this team really is.
  11. Gillis? Get on the phone and make some goddamn moves please!
  12. Real good effort by the boys tonight. It was a fun game to watch and had the score been reversed it would've been a great game overall.
  13. Without the comfort of the now non-existent northwest division, this might not even be a first round KO team anymore. This could be an 82 game, better luck next year team.
  14. I'm thinkin' we're gonna explode tonight. 7-1 Canucks victory.
  15. 7-4 Canucks victory. Hank Dank x2 Garrison Kassian Hansen Kesler
  16. I still like the other poster's 'swimming with or against the current' analogy. It just seems so accurate and sensible, moreso during playoff hockey that is anyways. The league does seemingly favor certain teams and certain matchups. From the looks of it, if the NHL likes both teams in a playoff series then they'll have a fairly level playing field. If they like one team better than the other, then the ice will be tilted in favor of their preferred team. If 2 canadian teams meet up, it also seems pretty much fair and square. There isn't necessarily any true "fix", but too often there seems to be a slant. Take 2011 for example. The Canucks built a virtually insurmountable 3-0 series lead against Chicago and the series came down to a game 7 OT. Gillis publicly complained about the discrepancy in powerplays and things straightened out. We were still 1 goal away from losing but it turned what could've been a dull short series into an epic 7 game near-catastrophe. Another poster mentioned the SCF and how the Canucks got more powerplays in that series. This is a fact, however a great deal of those powerplays came in the games we lost which were all blowouts. We got lots of powerplays when the games were out of reach. The Canucks didn't do themselves any favors in these two series but the league clearly wasn't on their side either.
  17. I tend to believe that the playoffs aren't 100% fair to all teams, especially the canadian ones, but I think this is a little far fetched. +1 for creativity though OP.
  18. Dont ever be critical of Luongo. If you do then your'e a teenager and not a fan of the Canucks...
  19. Well Goddammit. The team "got to game 7". That's a nice accomplishment for a cinderella team who trailed throughout the entire series, but I seem to recall the Canucks were Presidents trophy winning heavy favorites who had a 2-0 lead. When your'e a favorite with a seemingly commanding series lead then getting to game 7 and losing is nothing more than a choke. That series was an abomination in all aspects and Luongo was a very big part of it. Sorry for getting off topic.
  20. My predictions are wrong about 99% of the time so here it goes. 4-2 Columbus win with an empty net.
  21. Not that it matters anymore but we had a 2-0 series lead, it never should've gone to 7 games.
