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

[Izzy Goodenough]

Sutter right now is awful on a bad team.

Shushhhhhhhhhhh!

Though hard to believe, I was told recently on these boards that lots of GMs and owners are as uneducated and incompetent as our homeboys.

so just Shushhhhhhhhh!

I would take a Medium sized slurpee from 7-11 right now for Sutter............

One that's made entirely out of syrup?

*gasp*

Five teams are in a position to overtake the Canucks in the standings today. It's so exciting!

The Rangers and Flyers didn't go to extra time. Columbus lost to Detroit. I never get what I want. Never. It's so unfair.

Actually the Canucks have one of the lowest winning percentage of any professional sports franchise in North America in the last 50 years so they are pretty good at it.

That's been the Canucks way my entire life. When we're a losing team we lose the games that matter and win the games that don't but effect our draft position.

You should calculate the chances of the Oilers winning so many consecutive first overalls:

Fat Chance: Probability from the Ground Up

This is something we need to get MtoB to look into. He doesn't get the laws probability at all.

If Columbus manages to beat Detroit today, the Canucks will be in the bottom 10 both for points and points %.

Preds up 2-0 on the Hawks of right now I am posting. Awesome tank day so far, with Ducks also winning wow. Keep it up.

 

[iceburg]

I don't see them catching Detroit, Buffalo, Anaheim or Ottawa. San Jose, NJ and CBJ really need to pick things up.

I’m hoping we get a top five pick, but really it’s likely to be around #10 again.

 

[Canucks LB]

This is the 1 year that picking in the 5-15 Range is basically all the same.
Nobody has been scouting, this draft is all over the place.

Fingers crossed we get another core piece. Love to get a heavy bodied minute munching D man.

I think you’re right. I think the over/under is probably around 8 before the lottery.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

I think you’re right. I think the over/under is probably around 8 before the lottery.

then add our annual +2 drop in draft spot after lottery to around ~10 give or take

 

[StreetHawk]

I think you’re right. I think the over/under is probably around 8 before the lottery.

In Feb, my thought was that they end up in the 7/8 spot. Still holds with Det, Ott, Buf, NJ, and now Ana in the bottom 5. NJ, even with games in hand, nothing screams that they will go on a run. Dallas, also a bunch of games in hand but they have struggled, which isn't too shocking with Seguin/Bishop out and a short off-season, plus Covid hitting to begin the year.

The teams with games in hand who are behind the Canucks in points, are still playing at the Season to Date Points Percentage of under 0.500.

I refuse to comment on how the out-of-town scoreboard is shaping up for the tank this evening.
