Bertuzzi44ever Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 On a very popular forum for hockey, I don't know the rules because I don't have time fo read every word of them right now but I am assuming you can't advertise other sites, so I will just say that the general consensus based on number of votes has people thinking Vancouver is going to be the worst team in the NHL this year. Thoughts? (I would link the thread but I don't know the rules against it, if I can I will edit this post) so are most of us out to lunch or does everybody think we're that bad?

Graham Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I would bet a lot of money that we won't come last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Not going to happen if Sutter stays healthy. We were playoff bound with him. Or at least close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44ever Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Just now, ItsMillerTime said: Toronto? Canucks had a playoff spot for like half the season. The argument over there was that was due to Calgary Edmonton Arizona being horrible and Anaheim and la and even the Sharks at times who had terrible starts. i have just never seen such a different outlook from place to place seems like Vancouver is going to be boom or bust, surprise the world or be awful and stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Everyone likes to hate on Vancouver because we were so dominant for so long. We won't be anywhere near last in the league next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYjUstMaKeYoUwooZy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I honestly can't see someone who watched the Canucks or followed them in any form last year would vote that they will finish last. If we stay healthy we are playoff bound. TSN has tainted people opinions which is fine by me.... and people seem to think the Sedins are done. I can't freaking wait.

Ride the red Pony Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Meh....This team is as good as any when they're healthy. Signing Eriksson, picking up Guddy and our young guys with more experience. Lotta unwarranted hate towards the Nucks out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah, no. I don't think we're going to be setting the world on fire next season (though I won't complain if we do!) but with a healthy line-up there's no way we end up 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two drink minimum Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 No hope of finishing last. Horvat, Jake and Hutts will all be better. The top line is better the d is better, and if Baertschi can score 25 goals then they can def make the playoffs easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Canucks will be pushing for a playoff spot. Most of hockey world just hates the Nucks anyway. They're in for a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyPB Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It absolutely wasn't a consensus that the canucks would be dead last on hfboards. Carolina, Columbus, Toronto and Colorado were also considered as candidates. A lot think the canucks are going to be bad, but not everyone was thinking dead last bad.

Brad Marchand Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 When fully healthy, the lineup doesn't suck that badly. Not badly enough to finish last, at least. However, this is Vancouver where practically everyone will get hurt at some point during the season just because. Even when that happened last season, though, the Canucks still couldn't finish last.

Fantomex Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Having said that, there's no chance we finish dead last unless we have another injury laden season. Goaltending and team defence alone should keep us competitive in most games. Goal scoring could go either way. It all hinges on Daniel and Henriks chemistry with Loui, and what kind of secondary scoring we get. If Sutter stays healthy we automatically have more depth at centre which should allow guys like Bo and Sven better opportunities against weaker competition. I think people really understate the impact Sutter's injury had on the team as a whole last season. No, he's not a guy that will carry the offensive attack, but he's critical to the matchup game. If I were a betting man, I'd say that the Canucks are going to find themselves in the fight for a playoff spot (7th/8th), if they stay relatively healthy. If the injury bug hits as hard as it did last year, they'll be dwelling in Garry's basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsy Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If this is true, then all the more reason that attempting to tank would achieve nothing, since we would have the best chance for #1 Overall Pick anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
