GDT: Game 80: Canucks @ Coyotes - 7PM - FSAZ+

[Ebb]

Overall the youngsters did well, but we lacked a bit on execution at times. You can't let your opponent come that close to a win --imagined tippett post interview comment

 

[vcanuck]

scared the hell out of us! lol

Good luck in the lotteries, well on the most part

Due to winning tonight and certainly winning tomorrow, we will head into the lottery in the FIVE spot instead of the TWO spot which is absolutely incredible and the MOST Arizona Coyotes thing I've EVER seen. We could be picking EIGHTH overall despite being SECOND worst for EIGHTY of the 82 games of the season. It's actually really damned impressive how bad this team is at absolutely everything, including losing.

"This is a completely different team now"

Too bad we took 81 games to figure it out, we could have been a playoff team.

Yeah right. We say that at game 81 every year.

Lol...well said!

 

[moosemeister]

I'm tempted to buy a single ticket and go to Saturday's game by myself. Just in case it's the last one. At the very least it might be Doan's last. But I'm conflicted. I have no interest in giving the Ice Edge Clowns my money. Same for Glendale. Those two groups deserve each other. Miserable ********.

Buy the ticket on Stub Hub. I'll buy your beer.

 

[Ebb]

Well outside of those top 2, it apparently evens out talent wise. We have plenty of prospects to look forward to before a 2017 pick would make the roster

This made me irrationally angry.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

If I'm not mistaken we can still get 29th if Vancouver and NJ win 1 of their last 2 games and we lose Saturday. Yes?

Doesn't bother me much. I want Vilardi anyways and I don't think he's going top two.

 

[SniperHF]

Technically.

But that's a nice thing so we can't have it

 

[RemoAZ]

Yeah right. We say that at game 81 every year.

Because Tippett is best again teams that have already thrown the towel in. His crowning achievement is to never have sucked enough to pick first.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

NJ could very well win either game they have left (NYI and Detroit) Vancouver has a home and home against Edmonton. That might be a tough sell

 

[Ebb]

Go Canucks go! Go Devs go!

 

[0point1]

hahaha such a coyote thing to do, go from second worst the whole season down to the 8th pick.

 

[XX]

Was at the game sitting behind the Coyotes as I watched them feebly attempt to pass it up the ice over and over again with suicide backhands to nobody and panic clears off the glass. They couldn't complete a pass unless Domi was on the ice. It was garbage, heads down, **** ugly hockey.

Yet they still win a completely meaningless game and manage to ruin their draft chances in the process. Too bad moral victories can't pay for operational losses.

Tippett is one of the best coaches in the NHL for winning when it doesn't matter.

If we traded away Vrbata like some of us here advocated, we wouldnt be in this position. His raising his free agent value yesterday came at the expense of three draft positions.

Go Yotes Go.

 

[Jakey53]

Probably going to be

Perlini - Dvorak - Vrbata
Domi - Burmi - Duke
Crouse - Strome - Rieder
Martinook - Richardson - Fischer

We really could use another veteran right shot in our middle six, though.

This could be close. Can Martinook play RW? They had Keller at RW his last game.

Tobi still can't finish. Quite a few breakaways in this game ending up with nothing

It seems every game he gets one of these chances.

 

[Jakey53]

B----, moan, bellyache, complain. That's all you guys do. The draft is a crap shoot most years. Next year we will add Strome, maybe Keller and maybe who ever we draft this year. Those three could be the best of our prospects. A little more patience guys. I'm already excited for training camp.

That's laughable. Strome may not even be on the team again next year. Keller needs to gain like 80 pounds and if you look at the projected lineup it's laughable. This team will need to make some major moves in the off-season to be competitive next year regardless of what they've done at the end of the season, which is exactly what they do at the end of every season. Until we get a superstar or two (heck a star) on this team who can consistently produce, we're going nowhere.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

We are going to score plenty next year. I have no issue with the forwards. We are going to give up plenty of goals next year unless we can get our center position fixed up. That's why I continue to push for a resigning of Hanzal. It's not just on the defensemen. The center is like the third defenseman and only Dvorak has really played well defensively at center.

If we can fortify the center we can get by another year without a 1RD.

For argument,

Hanzal,
Dvorak
Strome
Richardson

Looks solid and very responsible defensively, as we can shelter Strome with the other 3 centers. Burmi pitches in at center for 20-30 games while Hanzal recuperates from whatever injury he gets.

 

[Spirit of Lindgren]

Had a great time last night...
I agree that we need to pick up a big star.
Like the way Bermistrov (sp) played.
Feel real sorry for Connaughton. Sure would like to see him succeed.
We have great youngsters this year but not the "Leaf" type quality young guys who can make us winners next year.

All you do is put ownership and management up on a pedestal and show no objection to anything they do even though others have proven you wrong in the past countless times. Like I said before; Tippett can go 10 straight years without the playoffs and you'll still continue to put him up on a pedestal.
