20-21 Season Tank Thread: The playoff and tank dream is over

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Oh yeah, there's an early game today. Which the Canucks are winning 2-0. f*** all the way off.

The 10th spot is literally cursed. 1 good player gets picked at the spot every decade or so.

The 10th spot is literally cursed. 1 good player gets picked at the spot every decade or so.

2019 was not the year either

 

[Canucks LB]

I honestly think they will win today and lose tomorrow, getting three of a possible six points in the last 3 games.

 

[timw33]

Tank dream is looking over. 9/10/11 is the definition of a rudderless, mediocre franchise.

 

[4Twenty]

Haha. Benning likely staying and team plays itself into the lowest possible position heading into the lottery.

About right. This era sucks.

 

[Nucker101]

For some perspective, here are the last 15 9th overall picks:

Sheppard
Couture
Bailey
Cowen
Mikael Granlund
Hamilton
Trouba
Horvat
Ehlers
Meier
Sergachev
Rasmussen
Kravstov
Zegras
Rossi.

At 9 your chances of getting at least a top 6 F/top 4 D are really good. Picking a Myers-like-player at 9 wouldn't be a bust. But, I would be disappointed unless all the players taken around him busted.

As predicted, the Nucks are going on a roll to close out the season. They are hurting themselves by winning. Sad....just sad.

 

[mriswith]

Last win dropped us two draft slots.

This win will drop us two draft slots.

At least if we win tomorrow it only drops us one additional draft slot. Woohoo.

7th overall if we lose out. 9th overall if we win this and lose tomorrow. 10th if we win out.

Could have been 5th with an 17% chance at a top two pick if we'd just lost the last three games.

 

[Grumbler]

Sigh this team is severely pissing me off winning pointless games. WTF. Stupid ass Pejorative Slur team.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Did we really expect anything else?

They do this every year.

Demko sees our tank thread and says:

Why is Calgary so garbage? Also should've played Silovs today.

 

[Ita]

Canucks are gonna Canucks

Never fail at hurting their fans. Seriously what an effing joke.

Demko sees our tank thread and says:

Blame management and coaching. They don't even bother starting Holtby in garbage time.

 

[geebster]

Very frustrating. I can't watch this game anymore. Team could've made the playoffs if they were barely a 500 team after covid, and now they are playing hard and being competitive when it actively hurts the organization. Cant blame the players it's their job, but they should be resting guys and getting Silovs etc in.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Blame management and coaching. They don't even bother starting Holtby in garbage time.

Oh I'd never actually blame a player. They should always want to win. I can never actually get angry at anyone for not losing. It just sucks.

Starting Holtby and Silovs would've been a better option for my tank dreams.

 

[Lindgren]

So the owners are going to bring in the Sedins in a purely cosmetic move, while on the ice the team plays the vets and gets some points to move up in the standings and down in the draft. It drives me crazy.

In these final three games the back end should have been Rathbone, Chatfield, Bowey, Juolevi, Sautner, and Rafferty. Silovs should have been given two of the starts in net.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Disappointing win but predictable and expected. With demko in net against a rusty third string level goalie, it was a foregone conclusion

 

[canuckking1]

Hope we lose tmrw. The 9th slot is a lot less cursed than the 10th one. If we get 10 trade down and pick up a 2nd

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Time to look more closely at guys like Johnson, Lysell and MacTavish. Good chance we don't get one of the top defencemen at this slot.

Johnson is my pick, reminds me a lot of Pettersson. Taller kid that has a lot of room to grow into his height, over a PPG in the NCAA. He'd be a top 5 pick if he was 200lbs.

 

[canuckking1]

Holtby bless us with one more vintage performance PLEASE
