DS4quality Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Win or lose today I'm proud of the team, I had little to no expectations coming into the season but then we had a local home grown star come in and make it interesting. Hope the Canucks can learn a thing or two from them. Let's go Lions!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedard Michkov and Fantelli is probably the best top 3 since 2015. It’s gonna be funny. The best draft in awhile but it’s all forwards. As much as I want all 3 of those guys. We are nothing without defence. No even Bedard ain’t saving us until we can draft and develop defencemen. That or pull some crazy trade out of their ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, Nucks have been in EST for enough time where I think they've adjusted. This is much better than our usual 11 am games at TD Garden 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be waaaaaay too invested in the rosters, in the team, in the results, in the play. A loss could sour my mood for the rest of a day or evening if I let it, a bad or ugly loss would often do that. Got to the point where I realized it was pretty dumb to let a sport have that much influence over how I experience life so I gradually took steps back. I still follow the Canucks and NHL closely but it's nothing like it was. I'm still invested, I still post, I still watch, but it's more detached. They aren't my family, I don't have strong parasocial relationships with members of this roster, I don't really know them as people and they most certainly don't know me. I want them to win while being consistently competitive, not the mediocre teams we've had over much of the past decade. But most of my views and opinions on players are tied to that, and how I view team building, not so much to who players are as people. Haven't really gotten invested in them as people since those 2000's/early 2010's era rosters. I'm glad you found a balance. I'm trying to see. It'll be easier if they collapse but I'd rather have them climb up. I'm too much of an optimist deep down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still too close in terms of points. Edmonton has 18 points with one more game played and we sit at 11. They have this terrible idea man we are so close if we get on a hot streak we are right back in it. Ignoring all the signs they are a terrible hockey club. It's what's put this franchise behind the eight ball time and time again. They basically have to be so far behind in points to call the season but man the way they play is awful. The players we have are hard to get behind because they just don't play like they care. I was disappointed to see us so close in points still because I realized it's giving them a false sense of hope. Don't worry, we have Boston, Buffalo, LA, Vegas, Colorado, and Vegas again in our next 6 games. We could be 10 points behind Edmonton by that point. Our schedule might be a blessing in disguise.

I honestly wouldn’t say this draft is stacked, as after the first 6-7 picks it’s really a toss up. The number one ranked dman is a undersized RHD in Cameron Allen and he’s having an extremely poor season right now. Most defenseman in this draft are underwhelming. There’s a lot of defenseman in the 2nd round though, specifically RHD which we should be targeting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedard and McDavid are probably equal- maybe edge to McDavid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
