Post-Game Talk: Tank thread: All over

[VeteranNetPresence]

Can Jim get shitcanned now?

 

[Booshami]

Meh... they should have won or either gotten an extra point last game. Not that pissed tbh.

 

[canwincup]

This is classic Canucks. Win when you want them to lose and lose when you want them to win.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

9th it is.

Barring shit luck, top 10 pick.

Should be in range for Caufield, Kaliyev and Krebs at worst.

Turcotte, Boldy, Zegras and Dach at best.

They need to nail this pick, because it’s only going to get worse from here.

Expect them to finish just outside the playoffs next season as the kids improve. They’ll be what Montreal was this season.

LOL. That absolute worst scenario possible. Not even a win. Not even an OT loss. A shootout loss where none of our shooters score, and degrades every pick one spot.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

As long as we can a chance at one of the top 9 I'm happy.

 

[clunk]

I just hope the Canucks don't win the lottery now. I'd rather lose than have idiots coming in here and trying to justify Benning's lack of direction and **** tenure cause of dumb luck.

 

[Cupless44]

f*** this team. All they had to do was lose in regulation to draft 8th after their usual stupid useless win streak when it doesn’t count cost them top 5.

Nah a win bumps us to 10th. Let’s be glad at least that didn’t happen.

I don’t expect the Canucks to get as lucky getting as many games to Ot next year. A 22-36 record in regulation is extremely bad. This is going to be a bad team next year and doesn’t have another top prospect waiting in the wings to make the team.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

As always, one or two of the consensus top picks will slip. It happens every year.

We may in fact get a crack at someone like Kirby Dach at 9th or 10th.

Of course, they actually have to seize the opportunity and not just idiodically draft Broberg because Jimbo wants a dman.

I can't wait.

That is not correct. There was no possibility of 10th.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I thought someone said there was. My bad.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I can't wait.

Next years draft is also much, much deeper at the top end.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Well, as long as Benning isn’t fired I guess we should start up the 2019-20 tank thread.

 

[Fraser28]

So beyond frustrated that we couldn't get a single damn thing to go our way in terms of the tank.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

There were also years where everything went our way.

2014 and 2017 specifically. We tanked like absolute animals.

The lottery just f***ed us.

We have never actually tanked, Benning has just built a terrible team

 

[TruKnyte]

I want us to get lucky for once in the lottery, but I'm expecting the team to drop a spot.

Could be the year.

They seem to reward teams that win out.

Jets, for example, won their last 5 of 6 IIRC in 2016 and went from 3rd last to 6th.

Ended up winning 2nd pick.

**** this team. All they had to do was lose in regulation to draft 8th after their usual stupid useless win streak when it doesn’t count cost them top 5.

Usual stupid useless win streak? The Canucks’ tank job the previous two years was best in the league. Getting a point and moving up a spot in the standings is actually unusual compared to the two previous seasons.

 

[Ita]

Well, as long as Benning isn’t fired I guess we should start up the 2019-20 tank thread.

Pretty much the only thing I look forward to as a Canucks fan. Fml

 

[Canucks LB]

Just for fun I did a win/win bet today
I bet that the Canucks would win, so if they lost in regulation I am happy, if they won I am happy.

Except hilariously enough I completely forgot that they could lose in an overtime or shoot out and it’s a lose lose, and of course in classic style that happens

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Watch Anaheim win the lottery now.
