Dumb Nuck Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I put later with this group although it may be never with this group, I believe we need 3 or 4 years after we get a coach that knows how to win playoff games to reprogram our talent to play tough and not turn the other cheek. If we can get rid of Green in the next year or two, max then our current crop of talent might have a chance otherwise the 2020’s will be a write off. Bring on the googly eyes from Canuck73, AKA Mr. Green. Edited December 9, 2020 by Dumb Nuck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the alterations made due to COVID and god knows what happens in the future 16 wins may not be enough but it’s actually quite simple, when they win the last playoff game they play.

As a fan since day one I’m a pessimist, see my siggy and avatar . I’ve been sporting them since I joined CDC.

HorvatToBaertschi Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Honestly, the experience acquired in the bubble makes anything possible.... they are being written off. Again. And they will exceed expectations. Again. 2021 or 2022 for me personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought of this too. The league stands to make a lot more revenue when fans get back if they decide to use this system permanently. With 16 teams only getting in - and half outside looking in ... and many teams waiting up to a decade between rebuilds to get back to the show...fans are starved for even a pre-round five game series like the “play-ins” as they called it. Adding up to five more playoff games with that many teams would serve to make more money and to keep fans engaged for “bubble” playoff teams. It also offers some good storylines - like the last place MTL team taking down one of the pretty good Eastern squads in PIT etc. It’s probably unlikely, especially in a bubble again - but you just never know - and in this case 19 wins is possible and 16 not enough. They could reduce the regular season back to 80 games as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) And not to be the grinch...I love this new core and think we have loads of potential. But winning a cup with them the stars would have to align and the hockey gods would have to open their karma and favour etc. 32 teams. Ten maybe each year could make a case for winning one. Flip a coin the odds are 50% every time. 1/10 or even one out of 5 isn’t good odds no matter how great this team becomes. Out of the options, unfortunately the last one is the most realistic. Highest odds anyways. And it won’t matter who’s coaching us. The presidents trophy team occasionally wins. Best chance we have is as many cracks at it as possible. In that area we are looking pretty darn good. Also put later with this group ... although like Dumb Nuck I have my doubts. I think we can contend for the cup with this group in a couple of years. Win? That would be awesome. Edited December 9, 2020 by IBatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieVedder Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 As soon as we get a true #1 dman. Until we get that all around dman that can do it all on the backend ie Hedman, Doughty, Keith, Weber, Petrangelo etc its likely not happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 They did it in 2003. In my Franchise Hockey Manager 6 game. I only had to get rid of Cloutier, put Linden with the Sedins and trade for the young Sami Salo and Ville Peltonen. Bingo. Stanley Cup. Did I mention that Salo was injured in the play-offs?

Maddogy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ovechkin is a generational goal scorer. It took him 13 seasons to win a Cup. How long did it take for St. Louis? When Canucks finally win the Cup, it would likely to be during a season of relatively lower expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
