ice orca Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Why ? We have a higher chance at acquiring legacy assets at the draft if we lose this game. Do what is best for the team going forwardDoing the best is not losing to the Mullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stork Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Surely we have other rookies we can put in. We probably do have other rookies. I'd give guys like Tommernes, DeFazio a shot to be a NHL regular for at least a game they've work hard with Travis Green and the Utica Comets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've already gone through the 5 stages of grief. denial anger depression acceptance excitement (for next year) So now is all a WIN / WIN situation. I would like to watch my team win the last couple of games I will get to watch until October. Get anything I can. On the other hand if they lose, we get a higher pick. This. Every single word of it rings true for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si robertson Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm goin to the game with a couple of friends! The nucks better win, & lack better play. I swear if I c edler go down flat on the ice when defendin, I'm going to freak the fuck out at him! I'm in the lower bowl, so they better win. Don't care if its smyths last game.

Kragar Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Crap, I was getting excited looking at the overall standings, thinking that we could get passed by Calgary if we lost both and they won both. But we win the tie-breaker, so no dice. Cards fall right, we can get 6th, I think. I agree, WIN/WIN. It's been like that lately... I want to see them play well and I cheer when they score, but if they lose, I remember that it helps the draft. OP, I thought during the Avs game they were talking about sitting different vet D's. Are you sure Garrison isn't playing tonight? Edit: not sure what the problem was, as there were paragraphs originally. Hope there are some after the edit.

If we get 6th overall we should pounce on Nylander when available. Sedins and him might be an all star line combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a 3-2 loss. I didn't think that was possible... thought we had to get in the top 5 for the lottery. Did some digging now and saw that the rules changed. For some reason, I thought that change wasn't coming until next year. Yay! Did some more digging, and saw that all the spots are up for grabs. I like it... really messes with tanking. I agree about the quality of the loss. Still want to see a good game, with some nice goals by our guys. Just one goal short! And, if they win, that's ok too. With the way the lottery goes, it's not that big a difference. Of course, it would suck to drop too far down. No love for the Oilers here! Edit: changed browsers... much better! Edit again: Self "duh". Can only drop one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
