Harold Drunken Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Just now, Ghostsof1915 said: I'm just looking at the bright side. The more goals and points players get the more likely might pull off a win. The winning is the negative side effect. Professional hockey players don't want to lose (Maybe some just care about that money). At this point wins don't help, but it's unrealistic to think we're going to lose 38 games in a row, any more than we will win 38 games in a row. Totally agree, I know they all want to win and hate losing. They are competitors, I'll still cheer for an exciting game....and any other year I would 100% agree let's try and win as much as possible and contribute to a winning culture...but this year when there's a generational franchise changing talent available, I feel a little differently. But I get what you're saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who disagree, answer me this: What does us winning a few more games and still missing the playoffs achieve? Happiness. Never wish for a loss. If we do lose a lot more games then a high draft pick is a nice consolation prize. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyGuy123 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hopefully Colorado has revenge on the mind and stomp the daylights out of us just to show management one last reminder how far away we are as Playoff contenders. 7-2 Avs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly won’t have any help once Horvat, Schenn and Kuzmenko get dealt if they aren’t signed a week before the TDL. Reports are they aren’t rushing Demko back and I could see them shutting him down for the season to be ready for the start of next year. Bringing in anyone this year is only going to create less optimism and more criticism during the off-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do lose a lot more games then a high draft pick is a nice consolation prize. Does being a sub .500 team and missing the playoffs 80% of the last decade make you happy? I know that's not what you're saying, but a player like Bedard changes the franchise. I'm just thinking about the future of this team, not right now I guess. If it came down to the last game of the season...Canucks and Montreal....loser get's highest chances of 1st overall for a generational talent....if you're not hoping for a loss you're crazy.

ToTellTheTruth Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The players will play hard for Bruce knowing that these might be his last days here, they really like him. But Colorado is getting serious and on the outside looking in, they are getting healthy and are rested. A possible white wash. But then Colorado might get the lead and sit back like a lot of teams have done lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Canucks have a chance to sweep the season series against the Stanley Cup champs. How messed up is that? I know they miss Kadri, but what the heck happened to COL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
