Seriously no Playoffs thread? Playoff thread.

[Zombotron]

CBJ barely made the playoffs with everything we have plus an extra 40-goal scorer and an extra 20-goal scorer. And two elite U-25 defensemen. Totally comparable

 

[clunk]

Like ****ing clockwork with those idiots

Right on the money, lol.

When you get to a point where you can predict what these people are going to say ahead of time so easily, you know you're on the right side.

Their agenda will always come first.

 

[TARS]

CBJ actually has good depth. They are not at all an example of what could happen if the Canucks squeaked into the playoffs.

 

[Fire Benning]

Columbus and the Canucks aren't even on the same planet lol

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hot take: CBJ wins the cup IF they sweep Tampa
If Tampa wins this series, they win the cup

 

[NoShowWilly]

took Columbus 13th in my snakedraft. pretty happy right now.

 

[Jack Burton]

I'm going to make over $4000

because Tb is a little bunch of nothing.

5 minutes after your post:

I think it's pretty well established by now that Reddit's a hive of morons and astroturfers.

 

[Zombotron]

Just pointing out how funny it was that someone came out with the literal exact stupid narrative @geebaan was predicting would come up, and within four or five minutes. It is known that they're not a bastion of high-level discourse. Have you seen pictures of their meetups? All of their regulars look like they were born after 1997

 

[Jyrki]

The Jackets made two high-impact acquisitions at the deadline. Not unlike how Kings added Richards at the beginning of the season then Carter at the deadline, and simply played better than the Canucks and pretty much every opponents they faced onwards. The Jackets aren't a team that gave every drop just to sneak over the edge riding a crazy goalie or abnormal scoring; they're making the Bolts look like shit while doing it.

Tortarella is an excellent coach. Wish it could’ve worked with him here and he was in a better headspace when we hired him. Columbus is not in a position to sweep the Presidents trophy winner without Tortarella’s leadership.

lmao one of my friends invited me to that meetup and was appalled when i said i didn't want to come

It’s a good thing that everyone on HF is intelligent and there is absolutely no astroturf happening here.

I prefer that our meetups stay free of the Debbie downers from here that just bash management all the time.

Brb, checking for accuracy.

*EDIT* I checked, you weren't kidding. I think it actually makes me sympathize with them more, they haven't followed the team long enough yet to become jaded and bitter. They've only been alive when the Canucks were good-decent. Give it time.

meeting people on the internet is f***ing awkward anyways so i try to avoid it in most case

having awful flashbacks to my weird handshake at the philadelphia airport as i type this

Regulation

CBJ: 38 - 31 - 13

Van: 22 - 36 - 24

not a split match between them

It’s only awkward if you make it awkward

 

[Josepho]

did people call you ronningmorrisonbooth everytime they talked to you or did you have a code name

that part makes it awkward right away. i can't imagine saying zombotron or prostheticconscience 40 times a night

I actually couldn’t believe it haha

 

[passive voice]

I'll regret saying this when the Sharks win the cup next year (or this) but damned if it didn't feel like their window shut tonight. Outclassed in a way I was not expecting.

I think a lot of teams will be kicking themselves a lot harder for not doing everything they can to get Mark Stone. What a stud.

Yep, he would have been the perfect addition for us. Unfortunately, there was no way we could possibly get him.

I think the one that gets me is Winnipeg. As talented as anyone on paper, had disappointed tremendously but were in the mix (on top?) in the division, lacked a real possession/two-way monster...and he’s from there!
