Looking at the standings it is starting to look like both conferences will have the wild card teams reaching 100 pts. Canucks can only get 98 at this point if they manage to win all games.

Vegas gets a point LA Wins Dallas Wins Vancouver Wins Everyone is happy

Well I hope this isn't a case of everyone here saying they would take Virtanen over Ehlers or Nylander again. Not comparing Virtanen to Podkolzin but we have to admit we were all lying to ourselves thinking Virtanen was the better pick over the two it took us the previous season realize that

Well point is I wanted to make is that we need to lower a bit our expectations with Podkolzin. It's his first year he's done pretty well as a rookie (though I am dumbfounded that anyways with a straight face would say they'd rather have Podz than Zegras are just in self denial ) but let's take down our expectations a notch. I have my best case scenario with Podz will become (which is absurdly high), but I understand the possibility it won't happen to avoid disappointment. So if ever ends up just a more consistent version of Kassian (to the Oilers) I would be fine with that. Let's not forget Canucks' prospect greatest oops the last few years Tryamkin - Next Chara Hodgson - Future Captain of the Canucks Shinkaruk - Next Patrick Kane Kassian/Virtanen - Next Bertuzzi

Just realized the Avs could easily get 130 pts this season. Is there any doubt this team is the hands on favorite to win the cup?

Yeah I'm still quite distributed on how people here went along those "Adam Gaudette gave the team covid" rumors. Probably the same people who knock on me when I use the media as my source yet, at the same time, somehow find it convenient to believe that stuff about Gaudette or "McCann is a locker room cancer" speculation

I still remember how we all did a 180 on Kole Lind after he was claimed by Seattle lol

His regular season numbers aren't on that level though. There are times when young players go on a tear during one post season only to get back to earth. Remember Emerson Etem? He has one really good post seasons but was mostly a 0.2 or 0.3 PPG player after that in his NHL career.

These are basically .500 numbers by all accounts they are quite feasibly and the chance only Canucks have (if let's say they can manage to lose only 1 game ) is if these teams Cannibalize each other but looking at the games they don't play against each other each team has the following "easy wins" LA - 5 games Vegas - 4 games Dallas - 5 games so those basically put those teams into .500 numbers. I think the most optimistic in me is that Vancouver could finish with 92 to 94 pts. Which is a miracle on it's own but not enough to make the playoffs. Which makes it even more bitter sweet because there's going to be a case of "If Only" the end of the season. Like if only those "moral victories" under green were actual victories or if only Vancouver just converted half of their OT losses into wins. Point is, yes it's good the team is playing good now but I think it's too late to have probably chance at the playoffs. We can just hope the team can bounce back next season.

Yep, Benning is a good enough but not good enough to offset the rest of his short comings.

I blame LE for that ... he had a GWG in that crazy end of the season run Canucks had My concern with Podkolzin is that even in the KHL level his numbers aren't anything great and he was playing in, what I understand, is one of the better teams. It doesn't seem likely that a Russian player that comes from the KHL with 3rd line numbers is going to end up anything higher in the NHL.

If Canucks don't lose anymore games they will get 98 pts. I think this is one of those seasons where the team needs at least that number of pts to make the playoffs. It doesn't seem possible at this point.

If the Academy is going to ban Will Smith for 10 years, they need to do some purge in the behaviors they tolerated in the past. It's a good look for the Academy since this will be seen as a double standard.

Grand Budapest is peak Anderson. I am actually not too far from the city they did most of the Filming including the department store of fhe interior where they shot the hotel lobby. Unfortunately were doing renovations recently so not sure if it still looks the same

They are indeed. His recent movie was amazing The French Dispatch. I could just imagine listening to the dialogue as an audiobook

True but it's still pretty gross that it's still considered "one of the greatest Oscar moments" heck the link is from the Academy youtube page. I guess it's too late to really ban Adrien Brody (it's not like he's doing much outside Wes Anderson's films anyways) but the academy should at least remove this video and also condemn this moment (if they haven't already)

I don't really want to comment on this topic too much but can someone explain how Will Smith gets a 10 year ban while Adrien Brody gets nothing for sexually harassing Halle Berry in an earlier event ? I'm not defending Will Smith or anything but this punishment feels like a double standard

Nice to sign a backup that's not over 2 mil

Apparentyl they don't start on time so ....

So off topic ... I was listening to Canucks central and they did some interesting numbers on LE. And his Even Strength number per 60 apparently is pretty decent and with 17 pts in 62 games. Would anyone be here be open to sign LE in the offseason at a league minimum? He could slot in with Highmore and Lammikko

Kind of makes sense neither Allvin nor Rutherford picked Boudreau and Boudreau probably has more options now after a good win loss record he did in Vancouver. To be honest Boudreau is starting to look a bit deflated sometimes so maybe he would like to try other options especially when coaching positions open up after the season ends

Conclusion trade Hughes

Lol that's my philosophy especially in Social Media

Are you really going troll me in every post I make everywhere in this thread now?
