Looking at some of the teams barely ahead of us, MTL, Blues, Flyers. They have substantially harder schedules remaining. We need to start losing asaaaap.

Todays games to keep an eye on:
Coyotes @ Stars 5:30 pm Coyotes are 2 points back of Canucks, both with 60 games played
Capitals @ Ducks 7 pm Ducks are 6 points back, with 61 games played

Islanders are in 15th spot
Toronto is in 4th

Canucks in 6th worst/best
 
I don't even care anymore. win, lose, I don't care. I don't have much expectations for management. It seems like for once, the team is not allowed to add picks, and if we do, they are flipped for immediate help.

I'm pretty resolved now to move on from Canucks hockey sans Bedard.

Whatever team Bedard goes to I will likely move my fandom to as I really don't think the Canucks ownership or even management care all that much.

We all know the Canucks are gonna be outside the playoffs looking in for a long time to come under the way they are being run and I'd rather just follow just one guy from Vancouver who is incredible.
 
Todays games of note:
Stars @ Hawks 5:30 pm . . Hawks have 47 points in 60 games
Wild @ Canucks 7 pm . .Canucks have 53 in 60
Blues @ Sharks 7:30 pm . . Blues have 57 in 60; Sharks at 48 in 61 games
Montreal @ L.A. 7:30 pm . . Canadiens 56 in 60 games

Don't blame you brother.

Cancelled my SN NOW subscription. I'm done until this team has a revolution, and sans Bedard I don't see that happening this decade. I can still watch other teams on CBC and certain playoff matchups.

St. Louis is a big concern. Lost 6 in a row, and are down 2-0 after 1 to the Sharks.

I dont know if its possible to out tank CBJ, ANA, CHI, ARI, SJS. All of them got substantially worse after the deadline. Especially CHI and SJS.

At this point im happy with 6.
 
If the Canucks landed Bedard w
I'm off team tank. I don't want these twats rewarded with Bedard. I want 13th or whatever
Nah. If the Canucks win the lottery you are going to go full George Bailey:

Friday's games of note:
Kraken @ Blue Jackets 4 pm...... Columbus 41 points in 61 games
Hurricanes @ Coyotes 6:30......... Coyotes 51 pts in 61 games
Canadiens @ Ducks 7 pm.......... Habs 56 in 61 games; Ducks have 48 points in 62 games.

Canucks have 53 points in 61 games
Islanders are currently in................. whatever; doesn't matter anymore.

Hoping fot a 3 point game, with the Ducks winning.
 
It does seem like the life has gone out of the tank, with Miller's return to action, the Hronek trade (it'll be interesting to see when he's recovered from his injury), and Demko, of course.

I expect the team to ride Demko through to the end of the season, especially in the key matchups against the other bottom-feeders. Hughes will continue to get loads of ice-time. The team will try to use a few meaningless victories to sell season-ticket renewals. The Canucks will pick 8th or 9th (unless they do what makes sense given their recent big move, and trade the pick).

Even a Hronek operating at 50% is better than anybody on the blueline not named Hughes.;)

I don’t even care anymore. Not that I don’t want to tank. Even if this wasn’t deep draft year we should be playing for draft position. But this team doesn’t seem to understand. Francesco is just a person, a sneaky person who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. So he’s use to not working for anything and in such case, he feels the same for his hockey club. He will take whatever the hell shortcut he needs. I remember positing a list of criminal things he’s done in the past. That’s the type of person he is. That’s the type person he will always be.
