Did you account for that in your math Great... you send the money to IBatch to hold. I will send him $0, and you can send him $10,000 to make up your 100-0 odds. If the Canucks are awarded 4 points by the NHL instead of the regular two for their next win you win otherwise I win. What are the odds he just takes the cash from both of us and spends it on authentic game worn Tryamkin and Linden Vey KHL jerseys?

bbllpp Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Need a poll on who understands going from unlikely to out of reach as: a) unlikely to impossible b) unlikely to more unlikely Context is everything, you are arguing a definition of out of reach that essentially means the same thing as unlikely so why change it in the first place As for the odds I totally agree with your sentiment that pulling the plug was probably a wiser move but in the end injuries and Covid killed that going into the trade deadline Can see why JB was hesitant given our upward trajectory vs the downward trend of CGY and MTL I have preferred a down year with a top 10 pick since the start because we barely treaded water last summer’s changes and we are 2 solid D in the 23-26 year range from being anything more than a pretender with this core 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by saying that I mean GMs shouldn't try and stop it from happening Never said Tank and do not support it ever, just said we treaded water. We play in the Pacific this year we were in With this division 3-6 was realistic expectations and I was ok with that. At one point you need to pull the plug and give the kids meaningful games. Win-Win because you see what they have and if you lose games as a result no worries and if you win games even better experience for the kids 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's the ones who've only been around since the WCE era that are questioning their alliance to the club.
