Honestly not that impressed with Lind the last few games. Looked a lot better his first couple.

 

That said he’s taken time to adjust In every league he’s stepped into. Might require a little patience 

He's looked about the same as he has when he first got into the AHL, hesitant and over thinking things. I think you're right, he needs time to adjust and get confident.

Hmm. Trying to rack my brain as to why the league/refs would hate them even more than us. 

 

I would err on the side of them being mediocre teams that probably that aren’t able to drive offensive play enough to draw penalties at an high rate. Sounds curiously similar to a team I know in the PNW.

You do realize i didnt say a effin thing about the league having a grudge against us did i? I do realize why we dont get many pps

Best case scenario for me is….lose the (large) majority of the remaining games, but show great effort in doing so, while a bunch of the young guys show well and give us SOME sort of hope for next year. 

 

And perhaps FINALLY get some lottery luck and pick a promising player in the top 5. This would have the effect of getting me pretty amped for next year.

I'll be super thrilled if we get either Power, Edvinsson, or Johnson.

Doesn’t help that we’re missing Petey and Virtanen, two of our top guys for drawing penalties per 60. Lol

Only anaheim and columbus have less pp opportunitys than the canucks fyi

... that'll happen when you've played a half dozen fewer games than everybody else.

 

there are 10 teams with fewer powerplays per game than the canucks.

The loser point system artificially props up bottom teams to look competitive later into the year.

Too much man.

When it comes to the Canucks not enough man is more like it.

We get lots of power play, just that no one ever notices.

Ok, positivity post: we still have a chance of winning the Cup this season.

I’d like to see him on PP 1 and play Huggy as a floater and Bonesy as the shot

I like the way you think. Hughes taking as many point shots as he does is not ideal to me.

Win or lose, i'm just glad they are playing and building character.   Which for sure they have this season despite all the stuff they've been through.   Must be exhausting going from a chance at the conference final last fall to this.   Get in sh!t for saying this at home, but a certain portion of this fan base needs to calm down.   Just enjoy the process..

Yes.  Pretty sure Arrow guaranteed it already or was that just making the playoffs.   Both seem just about as unlikely at this point .:: however if Arrow is right we'd sure be going into the off-season higher then JB blimp saying fire me!

Based on our win % and Montreal’s loss % I have our odds at slightly less than 1:1000 to make the playoff, if our odds against 16 teams is 1 in 50 our odds of winning the cup are 1:50,000. 
 

Wonder what the odds of us getting first pick are.
