Poor Quebec, they will lose every little bit of hope they have left if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Quebec that nobody wants to acknowledge is that its actually a terrible market for a big 4 sports team. That has nothing to do with the fans, they're obviously passionate, but there is a lot more that goes into making a spot viable than "do people there like hockey?"

Edmonton was listed as the favourite, closely followed by Toronto. Ottawa was actually listed ahead of Vancouver. Any thoughts? Predictions? My thoughts are that the article is written by a moron. Edmonton, while having some of the best forwards in the game, are still woefully average on defense. They've started hot, but will come back down to earth soon enough. The Leafs are a joke of a team with a poorly constructed, top heavy roster that folds like a cheap suit once the playoffs start. Did the mental defect of an author not consider Winnipeg? That team is still a contender and should be for the forseeable future. Calgary, while struggling right now, is a lot more imposing than they were last year, with a roster than relishes seeing the whistles being put away. Vancouver is a solid team that has gone farther that the Laffs have. Montreal is probably a shoe in to miss the playoffs, what with key players like Weber and Price out of the lineup.

N4ZZY Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Think Winnipeg probably is the next team that probably wins the Cup. Aside from that, oof, since this is a Canucks message board, I'm going to say the Canucks. Also, because I really want them to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Alf already predicted a parade this year. Man i can't wait to see if that's Green at the helm doing that for us. Every fan on this site that's slighted him would have to eat so much crow and do both penance and make amends lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we have Florida who can't even come close to filling a building, ARI... CAR who had to make gimmicks to get fans to come back after winning a cup etc. Quebec would easily be a better market then 4-5 existing teams. Hockey in that part of Quebec is a religion. Way more passionate fans per capita then probably any other place on the planet. Small market Canada is still better then most big market US cities.

WHL rocks Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Someone started a thread on cdc with this very same topic a couple of years ago, I thought it would be the Oilers then and I still think it’ll be oilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Toronto and the Oilers continue to struggle with top-heavy teams with deficiencies they cannot seem to overcome. The Canucks are more balanced, with the ability to apply continuous pressure across almost all lines. But top heavy teams like that can throw sh*t against the wall and some of it will stick. Like Jim Rutheford did with the 2016 Penguins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy to eat crow if it meant my Canucks win a cup before I die. Unfortunately I think there is more chance I win the lottery than there is of Green taking this team to the top of the mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 It will be the Oilers. And I would not be surprised if they take a run at it this year. They really improved their team. Goaltending has to stay consistently good though. If it does I think they are a lot tougher out in the playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but they need to fix their defense. Holland somehow went out and made it worse this off-season, so I don't think it'll be this year - more likely a 1st or 2nd round exit - but I agree they're a couple pieces away. And you never know with the McDavid - Leon combo, they can carry a team to a win as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 None of them will with their current cores. Its going to be a long time before a Canadian team sniffs top contender status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the same things were said about Winnipeg until a week before the new Jets were announced. Nobody said Quebec is perfect. Neither is the sun belt or Winnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Nucks or Laffs would be my guess, unless one of the CDN gets hot like MTL last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
