Rocket-68 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 At the risk of being labelled "Captain Obvious", my beloved Canucks are on the lower end of the "chance to make the playoffs" scale. Granted Las Vegas is stumbling at the right time giving Vancouver a game in hand with three games coming up against da-Knights (2H, 1A) and even giving Vancouver a 2-0-1 in those three games, still a tall order. Now assume that a miracle happens and Vancouver also beats Dallas twice, this would give a Vancouver a chance at squeaking in, barely. Yes, a tall order of "what-ifs" above and noted that a lot of other "needs to happen" have been left out. Would the playoff experience trump a chance at an impact player? For me, I would lean towards picking well in the draft and try to build for next year. The rationale for me is to try and regain a chance at a high-end prospect (possibly in the top 5). For the record I don't think Vancouver will go 2-0-1 against Vegas or 2-0 against Dallas but hope springs eternal. Flame away, I have my asbestos underwear on.

-AJ- Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'd like the team to team to play their hardest every night, but I don't think we have a realistic shot at making the show tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphouse Canuck Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 We're betwixt and between. Too low to make the playoffs, too high to get a top 5 pick. Screwed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus has bigger things to attend to than NHL hockey...Hockey Jesus on the other hand would say play to the best of your ability and don't cheat anyone from an honest effort. He would also say try to win the day. Every day. We also know that the Hockey Gods hate the Canucks, so Hockey Jesus wouldn't give a rats @$$ whether the team tanked or not. Given how the Canucks have played the last three games, which may have arguably been the most important games of the season, it LOOKS like they've given up and are tanking. Keep giving this same type of effort, and the team will play itself into irrelevance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Jesus would surely lead us to the Cup. Lots of prayers before and after the game. Church time would be fun with the boys.
