5 o'clock home games are annoying enough. 3 pm is just nonsense. I'll prob catch the replay on gamecenter.....
With the Nucks win % right now they'd pick 9th and one of the teams in front of them is the Devils who lose their pick in the first round, so technically right now the Canucks are on pace to pick 8th.
EDIT: if they go .500 the rest of the way they probably pick 6th... BUT above that they would have to lose a lot. They'd probably have to play .400 hockey to get a pick any higher than 6th. 1st or 2nd overall are basically impossible... (aside from lottery win)
We're play .000 hockey right now, so anything is possible.
You forgot-
-One of the youngest teams in the league
-offensive powerhouse.
-Ascending, not descending
-Almost injury free (Bolland)
-Good coaching
There, all opposites....
Er...
Indeed.
2nd worst 5 on 5 close teams in possession. A bad game or two away from being the worst (Buffalo). Worse than Buffalo on Fenwick and Corsi at 5 on 5.
It's a team being carried by it's PP atm and statistical variability, prone to hot streaks and cold streaks relying on goaltending and PP to keep them above water. Luckily Bernier is having a career year because Reimer looks to have returned to earth and they'd be in all sorts of playoff trouble relying on him.
Hi guys. Just came in to say good luck!. The Leafs actually aren't being carried by the PP. We are however carried by offense and over the top goaltending.
Thanks. It's been a while since you last visited here - and things sure took a weird turn since whole Luongo debacle.
Actually, I think most don't think of you as a rival, just hatred. Perhaps because Sundin chose to play there? Who knows, but we know who our real rival is...right Montreal? Do the nucks actually have a rival? Our rivals are clearly the scabs, sens, wings and boo'ins.
I guess it would be calgary and edmonton who hate us as much as the leafs do if not more.... but we also are close area wise and play each team a lot.
Also used to be Chicago but that rivalry kind of died when we began to sink last year and they went onto another cup. You could also make a case for the kings the last few years. But that one is fairly fresh. I have talked to and know real life opposing fans who dont like us such as blues, minny, pheonix fans, but its not like leaf level hatred for us, that level is reserved for edm, calgary, kings fans which is why it looks more like rivalry to me.
I think the hatred between fan bases kind of goes both ways....Just by looking at some of the posts in this thread that is pretty clear. Really it isn't even a rivalry at all, it is two fan bases that just don't like each other at all, on ice there is no rivalry.
I dont even think their is a rivalry to be had personally we barely see the leafs, but i find the hatred levels odd to be so high.
Then again i live in alberta so im not in the heart of it.
