ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My theory is that if the Canucks ever end up winning it will be in a situation where there is some sort of caveat which our enemies can point to and say, "yeah but..." and make it out like it was a less-than-100%-legit win. I mean, wouldn't that just figure? I've been a fan for many years and it just seems like that's something that would happen with this franchise. I'd still take it though!

Darth Kane Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 If there is a shortened season I expect the teams with a low roster turnover from last year to do well. There will be little or no training camp so the team with the players that are most familiar with each other will do well. Vancouver should be in a good position, both goalies are returning, the only change on defense is swapping Salo for Garrison which is a serious upgrade and Garrison should be riding hte excitement during the first season of playing for his hometown team. Booth, Burrows, Hansen, Higgins, Kesler (when healthy), Lapierre, Malhotra, Raymond, Daniel, Henrik, Volpatti and Weise are all returning. If any team intentionally throws a season their franchise should be revoked immediately. I'm sure it's happened with some lowwer end teams, but a team with the caliber of the Canucks will take advantage of the shortened season, not fold because of it. Maybe since this a shoterned season the Canucks should trade the Sedins and Kesler for draft picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragoedia Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 So we should intentionally lose in hopes of getting a good prospect that will be helpful in a couple of years to HOPEFULLY make us a contender instead of going for it right now while we are a contender. That logic does not compute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer&meat Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Short season: blip on the radar.... Regroup for the full season and use the short year to grab and stockpile on high draft picks??? Perhaps an opening to groom replacement players for the soon to be retired Sedins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 No athlete with a shred of honor would ever contemplate doing this. Good luck going into the 'Nucks dressing room and telling a championship-calibre team "hey guys, just go out there and lose every game, waste this entire year of your careers and a chance at a cup, so the organisation can pick this kid who might be amazing or something" Listen to yourself, OP, you're talking like a crazy person.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Seriously? No one would ever waste their money to go to Canucks game if they were to lose on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Absolutely not. I'd lose respect for any team that would intentionally tank it as part of an agenda. Really compromises sports and is a slap in the face to fans who pay for tickets. Ridiculous proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day one Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I nominate you to be the one to go into the dressing room and tell the Sedins to tank the season. As much as you've lost credibility as a fan with your top post, by following through and telling the team to tank it you'll prove you don't "get" sport.

ABNuck Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Just so I get the logic here: 1/ Tank this season so we can get a high draft pick 2/ The high draft pick hopefully works out and becomes a stud NHL'er 3/ At some point our stud youngster leads us to the S/C say 4-5 years down the road Sounds like you've thought this through. I say we compete for the cup EVERY year...just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
