tvars Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 If the healthy guys coming back can play with the same fire the AHL team we are skating out there does, I think we can be pretty dangerous and make the playoffs. We have a solid shot of actually surprising some people, and I for one am very excited about the direction this team is trending in. If we keep improving and adding solid roster picks, it's only a matter of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The 88% vote shocks the hell out of me. I thought it would be 50/50. I voted "NO". A few days ago I would have disagreed. What I will say is... if we do indeed miss the playoffs, it's not a case of "Oh well, they weren't expected to make them anyways". BS! I hope no one spews that crap. With the roster the Canucks dressed, and spending to the cap, they should have damn well made the playoffs. Miller? Vrbata? Dorsett? Bonino All new signings/acquisitions. Sedins? Burrows? Hamhuis? Edler? Bieksa? You don't do the moves that Benning did off-season unless you plan to not only make the playoffs but go to round 2 or beyond. Benning/Linden said at the start that their goal is to be a consistant Top 8 team (eg round 2 of the playoffs). They know that in order for them to sell out tickets, they need to make round 2. Round 1 doesn't cut it. Also important to note, Canucks haven't missed the playoffs 2 years in a row in over 15 years since the 99-00 season. So missing 2 years in a row, I am not going to let the management brush it off with some silly "Exciting push! We almost made it. But we finished 17th and get a terrible draft pick now in the deepest draft ever". Bottom line is, finishing 17th is the worst case scenario this year. Toronto is in a better situation than us... and to think... we are laughing at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm confident that the Canucks will make the play-offs this year. Mmmm, 65 games into the season and Calgary is still keeping up their "unsustainable" level of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My god if we come 9th..... Gunna be sickening. would you mind 10th though http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Mock-Draft/ they way I see it, if we are going to miss then lets miss them big time. For example a 11th place finish because we will get a top 11 in a deep draft. This will sweeten the blow a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not only do we make the playoffs, we will make the SCF. We got 4 great lines when healthy, we got depth up front and on the back line. Lack will play unreal and prove that he's a starter. It'll be great to be underdogs because we'll surprise the teams that take us lightly. This is a team of destiny. I BELIEVE. Bump. I said this back in February and I meant it. Prophetic words, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
