Unfortunately I think we win this one. Then proceed to get mauled in St.louis and Nashville
Go Jets!
I expect Canucks will win 3 to 1. Jets are on a tank mission from god.
We're guaranteed at least 2 injuries playing against the Jets.
Higgins-Gaunce-Grenier line should be fun to watch
Funny thought:
I remember all those yelling at the 'tank' crowd a dozen games ago..and how it wasn't being a 'true fan' to do so...Seems times have changed.
I'm not stirring an unsettled pot here, I'm just pointing out that perceptions change, and loving your team can still involve hoping for a better draft pick when it's obvious.
Now, as I was still neutral then, I had no beef, and still do not, but it seems clear that it should be pointed out, in a neutral manner...
During the last few days of newspaper sports articles, and radio, it seems okay to talk about it now, without turning on the team you love..
But, by no means am I saying 'I told you so', nor advocating people to say so..as that would be rude, and childish.
I'm just saying it is okay to say it now, and hope for great players to be available to be drafted by the team that we love and bleed for...
\ rant. and lovin' the future.

There's a difference between cheering for the tank once your team is all but eliminated from the playoffs then rooting for the tank when your team is in a playoff spot. Not really funny...mostly common sense.
It's a weird situation to be in.
When I get home and check the box score, I am hoping for a loss. Not going to lie. But when I watch the game, I still cheer for the team, and cheer when we score.
I'm not sure how to explain the difference, but it's there.
I blame the nhl for fostering this though. Make it a full lottery, and end this nonsense.

What about calling out switchers for their "I rather try hard and draft 14 than see the team struggle and draft top 4. It's bad for the kiddies.".
Not sure how this even remotely applies to my post. Perhaps you can enlighten us?
**** they better not start Pavelec...I dunno what's worse our offense or Pavelec.
