GDT: Playoffs Push / “Tank”😂 Thread

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

We have gone 16-19 since January 1. It's incredible that there's still an 10-2 is possible! crowd.

Well big deal..watching the team finally start playing like one was fun while it lasted…they were good enough to be a capable bubble playoff team

That’s why the GM didn’t blow it up (you completely misread the GM from the very start..there was no ‘lip service’ )

 

[Disappointed EP40]

SO, now in cheering for teams to pass us in the overall standings mode. Who we got .. Columbus, NYI…

Getting a couple spots down could make a big difference.

Go Isles tonight

 

[TruGr1t]

Lol at people still crunching the numbers on the Canucks playoff chances. It is absolutely not happening.

So basically you have no point.

-Team was hella bad and out of the playoffs under Benning
-team has had a better record since his firing but still too far out of a playoff spot
-but they dug down and got out of the bottom 5 to be in the bottom 10

Such insight

Lol meaningful games in March. They haven’t been meaningful for weeks and weeks to anyone who seriously looks at the math.

They are 10 points out of a spot on April 1. They were 10 points out on December 5. They passed a couple of teams but ultimately they have only kept pace with the final playoff spot. They haven’t gained. Despite getting superior 5-on-5 goaltending.

There is enough of a sample size to conclude that even with a coaching change before the season this team is at best one that would maybe be in the conversation for 8th place(95 pt pace under Boudreau). Maybe. The only thing it does is solidify just how bad a job previous management did through their 7 years at the helm. 7 years to turn a non-playoff team into a likely non-playoff team.

They’ve lost 8 of the last 11 of these “meaningful” games.

Team is boring to watch with very little hope for the near term.

Yup this team needs a reset. I'm glad they're flaming out now rather than losing on the last day of regular season and buoying the management team's hopes.

Fortunately, if we're committed to taking a step back for a season, 2023 is a great year to do it. Sell Miller and one of Boeser/Garland around the draft, makes some cap space, pick up some draft picks, and get ready to weaponize them both in 2023.

So you have no interest in having meaningful discourse cause it’s no big deal when presented with facts. Never change man!

 

[Melvin]

the Canucks have been out of the playoff race since November. If you don’t understand that, then consider taking a course in math or statistics.

Yep. Regime change took waaaaaaaay too long. Should have happened at the end of last season (well about 4 years prior to that but I digress).

Season was already lost unless there was a historic turnaround and nothing suggest they had the horses for that. Why? Well because Benning and company were the ones choosing the horses.

You can’t win a playoff spot in October but you can lose it. Canucks lost it.

But have you considered that you were wrong about seattle and thus your opinions and projections are false.

I have no interest in having a Benning pissing contest when discussing the Canucks attempted playoff push , under the new management...no

There's a Benning thread here for you to bellyache at your hearts content.

Glad this wasn’t a problem when Gillis talk came up… he was much more relevant to the team the past 8 years!

March 16th. 2022..Thats a long way from the 8-15-2 of where they were on Dec 8th..?...Without a doubt I knew you would resurface with the 'I told you so's' when the Canucks attempt fell flat (then they win a few , and you go dark again)...

Yep! The Covid playoffs was the worst thing to happen to this organization. It gave false hope to Aqua and gave Benning and Weaselbrod a two year parole.

 

[VanJack]

Both Rutherford and Allvin have stated many times that they've been impressed by the Canucks digging down and competing hard every night under Boudreau. But they won't be fooled by the record.

This is basically the same team that imploded in the first 25 games of the season, that essentially cost them any realistic hopes for the playoffs.

The bottom line for teams below the playoff bar, is that unless they've been hit with slew of devastating injuries, they're in lottery-land for a reason. And in the case of the Canucks, their roster depth isn't nearly good enough and right now they're being forced to use guys that an expansion team would probably pass on.

Realistically, once the Aquilini's lit the fuse and blew up the front office and coaching staff in November, the rest of the season was all about setting the table for next year.

What happens this off-season is far more important than anything that happens in the last 13 games or so.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Guys, guys.

Isles up 2-0 on the Rangers.

Good stuff. Go Columbus, NYI, and maybe even SJ?

There could be a banner drop next year for 'Meaningful games in March 2022'

It’s amazing how hard some people fell in love with the Canucks getting their heads caved in Vs. Vegas. So valiant in hanging their goalies out to dry.

You suggested @Mogilny to Bure could use that thread instead of the one he was posting in. He can’t because it’s closed. You didn’t provide anywhere for him to post. You really shouldn’t provide links to places that can’t be posted in if your goal is to redirect posts you don’t like.
