Which bothers me why we don't have more than our default number of picks. Work on your biggest asset/strength (drafting). Do that by having more picks.

Basically both teams will be put through the gauntlet. It will be a matter of which teams stays healthier and gets on a roll. The biggest X factor for me will be whether Holtby can find his game again. If we can have both goalies playing well that might give us the edge over Montreal who has Price injured. I had not paid any attention to hockey while the Canucks were out and was astounded to just now discover how poorly the Habs have done lately. We have a chance here. The fact that is even possible, even if unlikely, has me absolutely gobsmacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it means a sprint to a bottom 5 finish... but that only translates to a #8 pick in Canuck luck. This is our year my friend. Law of attraction, speak it in to reality and then curse bettman out after they screw us again. This is the canuck way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the fact that Benning knows this and still stuck his neck out to say the Canucks will probably be quiet this draft deadline cuz trading players who have just been through this last 2 weeks is not the right thing to do. Gotta respect the man whether you like him or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously for a career Canuck like Edler (who'd never waive his NTC in any event) that would be a different case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillis used to fight with the league to get a better schedule Gillis used to sweat a lot on tv too. That has about as much relevance to this years covid situation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I am not expecting them to do well. The virus hit them hard and their gonna be coming back into a condense schedule after 3 weeks off. We could be dealing with rust and fatigue from the virus that isn’t gonna get any better with the schedule. It could very well be like the start of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they all had a virus that attacks the respiratory system. I hope they do well, but this doesn't look good and I worry for the health of the players. Hopefully they just mail it in, but, they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinky-Winky Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 on HNC today, they said the canuck players were asked if they ddint wanna play, they all said they did, so everyone wants to comeback and play even if the schedule is as brutal as it is 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It's absolutely embarrassing that NHL brass would throw a team, who's players have almost all being battling Covid, into a blender at the end of the season for the sake of playing the alloted number of games. No practice time, some of our guys likely haven't been able to exercise much at all. That's just asking for injuries, which could potentially even impact next season. But they don't give a flying &^@#, it's all about games being broadcasted and whatever revenue they can squeeze out. Canuck players being hurt is only our probem. What a horrible joke. Hopefully we play some of our younger guys over the remainder of the season, try and keep minutes down and rotate players in and out. Just get out of this season as healthy as possible, I'm not even worried about the glimmer of a playoff miracle. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
