Pre-Game Talk: Pre-emptive 9th Overall Thread.

[dwarf]

If we even pick at 9th its a win.

Knowing Benning, he will probably trade it for a bag of beans that is almost ready to play, but just hasen't found his potential yet... or ever will.

 

[Icebreakers]

This is gonna be that year where we won't drop to 8 or 9 so fans can cry about our bad luck nor will we get the top 3 picks for the sheer joy. We will stay at 6 and everyone will just go meh, ok.

 

[ginner classic]

I would put the tank nation Sabres in there too. If Vancouver doesn’t win I hope the Islanders win with Calgary’s pick

In some sick way I almost enjoy Flames failures more than Canucks' success. I might prefer the Isles landing 1st overall with the Calgary pick more than I would us landing the 2nd or 3rd overall. If both happen....that's totally fap worthy.

I've never really hated the Flames. Oilers and Leafs yes, but I've never been able to get on board the same way with Calgary, at least not in the last 25 years. Their fans are less obnoxious, their team has generally been pretty likeable, and other than 1989 their franchise history isn't much different to ours.

Joel Otto's skate
Theoren Fleury
Jim Peplinski
Gary Suter
Rachel Notley

Plenty of reason to hate them if you ask me.

 

[Oignon Saute]

There a 7 players I really like in this draft so I'm just as happy with 7 as I am 6. 8 I'll have apprehensive optimism and 9 I'll rage. It just can't be 9th...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

There's literally a 2% chance we finish 9th. It's not happening.

 

[Seattle Totems]

There was literally a 2% chance that Philadelphia would win a lottery last year. This is the Canucks. It's happening.

Quoted so we know who to thank. What happens next....well it's on you.

 

[clunk]

While I don't see us winning the 1st overall, I could see 2nd or third. Pretty good chance for either.

 

[Serac]

There's literally a 2% chance we finish 9th. It's not happening.

Until that % is at 0, the fear of it actually happening will always be there

I read that really quick and I thought you said flap worthy

I’ll show myself out

It happened last season

 

[CherryToke]

Hopefully Wahlstrom when we fall to 9. I could live with that.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This is always so nerve wracking.

 

[ginner classic]

Hopefully Wahlstrom when we fall to 9. I could live with that.

When we fall to 9th we will all be happy. Destiny fulfillment.....is errr....fulfilling? It'll be super awkward if we don't finish 9th actually....just ask Chicago Cubs fans. They are a boring lot these days.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

It happened last season

Last year we had a 18% chance of falling to 5 because we finished so high.

 

[Zombotron]

I am closing this the moment we don't finish with the 9th pick

and if we do finish with the 9th pick, accept my contrition in advance

 

[Canucks5551]

You need to go read calgarypuck

Yeah. The ones on hf aren’t so bad, but there are a ton of toxic Flames fans I’ve seen on other sites and in real life.

 

[ginner classic]

I predict:

1st - Chicago
2nd - Edmonton
3rd - New York Islanders (own pick)

Literally the worst thing I can imagine.

Closing this won't change who we really are.
