The only difference: the Yotes fans knows there team is rebuilding, whereas, the Canucks fans were sold that they will be competitive this year. Potentially, with a lottery win and alot of cap space moving forward, the Yotes MIGHT be in a more competitive position than the Canucks in a few years. Ofcourse, it will depend on the quality of decisions there management team will make. Lol your confusion is so cute. Tanking an entire season for a tiny chance at a number 1 pick. They already suck, they’re just playing out their hand. And then the sad reality of being sold a lie. So hard done by.

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Should TD be hot, watch that absolute POG Kreider run our 'tender. Announcers will explain away that he's simply "driving to the net". Lost count of the gt's I've seen this rat accidentally bump, or straight-out collide with. & what deterrents do we have? Mostly our only scrappers are on the blueline. So then you have 5 D, for sometimes several mins at a key point. It's just another reason opponents run around early, trying to ramp up the physicality, asap. Can Dickenson handle himself? We need more fwds who can. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickenson, Horvat, Miller are three that can and have thrown down. The forward corps has no real standout pugilist type. MacEwen and Gadjovich were the closest to that.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skates, stick - I'm not sure why he changed his equipment, things were going so well for him in the first two years. He looks pretty bad right now. Maybe he was great at first because other teams didn't know the way he plays. Well, they all seem to know now and he's struggling to hang onto the puck and keep up on his skates. He's not strong enough to will goals either, like McDavid and MacKinnon. I'm assuming they're keeping Green, like punishing themselves in a way. Masochists. So, how is the Top 10 at next year's Draft looking? Could the Canucks get a good one? That's if Benning doesn't trade it away again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickly Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Didn’t realize but the Rags look good so far. Really good on the road thus far and lots of talent on their roster. Gonna be a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already suck, they’re just playing out their hand. And then the sad reality of being sold a lie. So hard done by. The lottery rules had changed (once again) to further discouraged teams from tanking on purpose (but being the worse team based on standings will still give the team the highest chance to get the 1st OA pick). As proven, in JBs' tenure the lottery balls doesn't always go based on the percentage cause he has never drafted higher than fifth despite finishing second worse in the league during the Austin Matthews draft. If you read my comment carefully - I said, " if they POTENTIALLY win the lottery". Edited November 2, 2021 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the recent practice time at home here helps with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see live, Gallants' influence in there roster - hype or legit; and will it be the same system he implemented in Vegas & Fla. Looking forward to the GDT & (more so) the PGT in regards to the coaching difference. Imo, the Canucks win if Demko steals this game.

Interesting to see how this guy turns out even though no guarantee Jimbo would have picked him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close distance, gives him no room to move and he will mostly lose the physical battle. Happens to every skinny young guy that comes along, that is the NHL, needs to figure out how to get around it. This year he has spent more time in the periphery and his shot has been off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need go start playing closer together instead of playing so far apart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are still doing it as a cheap way to acquire franchise level talent: Pittsburgh (Lemiuex, Crosby, MAF, Staal and Malkin) as an example from a different era; CHi & LA prior to there cups; and NJD, BUF, DET, ARI & most of the California teams as current examples that are in the rebuilding part of there cycle. It is just part of the cycle in pro sports and some fans & owners are more accepting, whilst, others are not - Vancouver (imo) is a part of the latter group of - tanking are for losers. Ultimately, it will come down to the quality of the management group making the decisions and developing the prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
