Pre-Game Talk: 2019-20 Playoff Watch Thread

[Jack Burton]

Don't forget, we also have to outshoot the other team or the win doesn't count.

there's no way we CAN outshoot the opposition.

we got to keep this playoff run rolling son.

don't be a Debbie downer RMB!

Canucks will win the Stanley Cup?

Perhaps.

This is a very unique season.

Enjoy it for what it's worth.

It might be worth a +1600 bet. That said, I think it's either Tampa or Boston out of the East, and they have been cleaning up the Pacific division.

I think the '4% chance road to the cup' has a better chance to happen if we have another year where the wild cards upset the division leaders, except the Canucks. Also, the Avalanche and Blues need to go before the 3rd round. Ideally, the WC team (Coyotes?) makes a run through the Central. On the eastern side, you just hope you don't face the Bruins, Capitals, Penguins or Lightning in the finals.

I think absolute best case though we go through the two Alberta teams, then bow out quickly in the 3rd round. That's my high water mark goal for this post-season.

Then the trade become 28th overall pick and a 3rd round pick for Miller. Great trade

The Tank Thread may be dead but even I can't deny what's happening this year.

Go get em boys!

Willy Wallace will free us from Benning?

No

Only Frankie will free us from Benning.

Frankie is our William Wallace

Sometimes it just doesn’t seem like there is any light. Like no matter what Benning does, nothing ever sticks to him. No accountability.

I feel like an American.

Too fast. Keep that for at least the 3rnd.

I do like where you're going with this.

I guess playoffs and having a fantastic draft record does that

I sincerely hope you stick around for when Benning’s house of cards collapses under the weight of all the bad contracts. The death by a thousand Benning cuts.

Edmonton has now passed the Canucks.

Edmonton has now passed the Canucks.

And the fall begins. What’s the team’s position after another 10 games? I hear a lot of playoff talk, but IMO we are not getting in. We have terrible possession and give up way too many shots.

Lol chill, there’s still a 6 pts cushion and teams currently outside now are too weak to catch up

4 point cushion if Nashville and/or Winnipeg wins tonight. The Canucks have had an unreal stretch of games since late December that their analytics suggest is unsustainable. It’s not out of the question that they will miss.

Well yeah, nothing is 100%
So you can go away and hope that slight percentage of missing to happen

4 points in = slight percentage of missing now?
