It’s wild to me that people want to intentionally lose every game for the last 20 games. Well team tank has been pushing for the past 15 or so games so I guess everyone wants to be depressed for nearly half a season. What a mentality to have. True. Not a healthy way to go through life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what can we as fans on a message board, due to resolve this? Honest question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because your mentality of cheering when they win meaningless games at the end of the year (yet again) makes so much sense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to see us playing good hockey! It’s fun! you mean like every single year after they got eliminated? i dunno how i feel about podz and lem in terms of actual impact on the team in the future..

You don't have to like it. There are very good and true reasons why fans are frustrated with this franchise.

DeNiro Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just now, Roger Neilsons Towel said: You’ve been around long enough to know that the organization is more interested in putting a good product on the ice for the ticket drive for next year than they are worried about anything else. Especially after all the bad PR this season. They aren’t going to be intentionally throwing games while people still have chants of “sell the team” fresh in their heads. Like it or not, it’s a business. They are going to sell hope for the future. Hard. Yea I definitely get that part of it. But guess what would bring more fans to the table than artificially pumping up an average team? Drafting another superstar. If Aquilini can’t see the value of drafting a player like Michkov, one that will bring fans out of their seats I question his ability… Never mind not even worth it to analyze his ability to run a franchise.

Roger Neilsons Towel Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 9 minutes ago, BarnBurner said: Exactly. And ultimately, as fans, we want a winning team, with real potential to win the Cup. To be fair, I believe the Tankers want that as well. They just have different ways of wanting to get to that goal. Unfortunately what we want isn’t going to change the outcome of games, win or lose.

Fakename70 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 16 minutes ago, Roger Neilsons Towel said: I understand wanting a better draft pick. Makes the losses easier to take. But players/coaches aren’t going to intentionally lose. Competitive people just aren’t built that way. There’s no point in complaining about players/coaches doing what they are paid to do. Win games. THIS!!! It’s exactly why I cringe when fans and media label pro athletes as “entertainers”. Why would anyone believe they’re out there for anything other or less than competition and the will to win? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I don't understand all the complaints about winning games at the end of every year and all we do is ruin our draft position. We have had 4 1st round picks in the past 6 years and 3 of them are on the team today. Those 3 are Pettersson, Hughes and Podkolzin........exactly how much better could we have done in the draft by losing at the end of the year? Would people have felt better if we had finished last, had the 1st pick and taken Petey in his draft year as opposed to 5th overall? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how many are willing to accept the same thing every year. In a re-Draft, Petey and Hughes, and maybe even Kuzmenko, would be in the Top 5, maybe Top 3.

Dr. Crossbar Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 7 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Yea we are. If you don’t see how we just went through one of the worst seasons in franchise history for nothing and not feel crappy about it I don’t know what to tell you. You can call it whining or being dramatic I see it as being robbed of a future that could include another elite piece to throw the window wide open for the next 10-15 years. Now we’ll be lucky if we can even snag a second our D man or third line center. Thats the Vancouver way though. We’ll be lucky to get one decent run before going into another “retool”. Don't let the dark side win ... it's not too late ... we're here for you ... let the "retool" flow through you ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
