Why does everyone say we cannot make the playoffs? We need to be in 4th place and we have 20ish games to do it.

I would rather go into the playoffs hot than cold.

Its a fair assessment... If we miraculously do we'll all be celebrating. 

But Goose, like you, also wants us to continue winning games, and then see where it takes us... I'm in that boat too... Just can't get myself to sit and watch games hoping not to win... will never happen.

[Hairy Kneel]

Exact midpoint of the season is after tonight's game.

What's say we win this for our true halftime assessment.

If he can't play the bulk of the games this season. He should not be no 1 goalie next year... plus they aren't flying 20 hour flights. So let demko play and see if he is capable of playing the bulk of the games if not trade him for 2 first round picks.  

Hmmm ... no. No trading Demko.

Geez, I keep hoping we win a Cup, guess I’m doing CDC all wrong.

How dare you

 

never ever bring winning into a Canucks discussion 

 

its not part of the culture 

 

we play for fun and to be somewhat competitive 

[Rick_theRyper]

I really hope Jake plays well again, he’s been on a six or so game stretch of improvements. Sounds so cliche but it starts with the little things, finishing checks for one. I remember when Kesler came into the league watching a game with my dad I said something like “this guys gonna be good” and a few moments later he split the D and had a wide open shot at the net and hit the freaking glass behind the goalie. Point is sure he’s taking the long road there but I disagree with “Jakes got the tool box but no tools” he’s got huge confidence issues imo. When he gets put on the top two lines he plays at first like he’s afraid to make a mistake. Same when he’s put on the fourth.. guys a mental case I think. Over thinks too much.. once he plays confidently it’s amazing the difference. 
 

sorry for the rant but I’m aloud to drink on the weekends so I’m hoping I can shotgun tonight! Go nucks!

Good points, last game his engagement was very high; perhaps pre game he knew, he was playing top 6 with guaranteed minutes and he was able to focus on just playing (?).

Because the team in 4th plays the team in 5th. We need to jump both of them. 4th vs 5th are guranteed points going the wrong way.

 

With that math Vancouver would need to go on an unrealistic run.

At least Hoglander hasn't had his spirit or compete destroyed, yet.

I’m just happy I didn’t settle for the 9th worst wife.

 

And P% there are only 4 teams below us.

But if 8 girls said no? Lol...jk.

The percentages say there's still hope!

I don’t get it

Its going to be an interesting run to the end here.... Cowtown in desperation mode.

 

If we can end up going on a bit of a run here we might be able to leap frog Calgary, which would be awesome. Thats the 1st goal I'm setting for my expectations.

 

Once/if we do that then its really down to EDM and MTL having some sort of disaster but it would be awesome to crush the Calgary fans spirits and finish strong.

Wow, just wow. So much negativity

For Foct sakes man....

[combover]

Hope we can pull another win using him bennings “day to day plan “

it would be sad if we waited to long and “ ran out of time” to get the deal done. 
it’s ok thou because “every team has bad contracts” 

“Travis Is doing a great job” oh so that’s why he hasn’t been extended.

but  don’t worry we’ll be “ really competitive in two years.” 

huh 9 years hope no one goes back to his comments 7 years ago when he clearly stated

That wouldn’t be us with a 10 year tebuild. 

 

Just hope the young guys keep it going.

I think so, his facial expressions say it all he’s not fretting on anything right now and it shows. Some handle the pressure well some don’t. Just hope he can continue to show up

That is not going to be for the rest of the season. Plus one will lose which means we move up on one.

We have a few games on hand on Mon which means they have some back to backs coming up. They are going to lose some of those and get beat up going down the stretch.

I also do not believe that Calgary is going to have its problems solved with Sutter this time.

This stretch favors us in my opinion.
