Confirmed with Link: Tank thread: All over but the shouting.

[VanJack]

It's beyond irritating that the Canucks are winning games in garbage time and likely sliding down the draft pole....while teams like the Sabres, Rangers and Devils who are also into rebuilds, are shamelessly tanking down the stretch.

But realistically, even if the Canucks were to stay in the 8-10 hole, there's no way they're drafting a player who even cracks their lineup next season anyway. At this point the UFA and trade markets are far more important to this team's future.

And unless the Canucks coming roaring out of the gate next season and look like a team capable of making the post-season, I suspect the current management regime will be gone anyway.

The only thing that really gets me is Colorado. They're making the playoffs and were virtually guaranteed the best of odds of winning the lottery before the season even began. Sigh!

 

[PuckMunchkin]

I'm pretty sure a team finishing 25th is more likely to pick 6th than 8th.

With the current system 25th will most likely pick 7th.

 

[The Drop]

Hopefully they win out.

f*** Jim Benning.
f*** Aquilini.
f*** all his supporters.

f*** the King

Oilers pass the Nucks in the tank battle!

You must be so proud. One more lottery win might be the solution right?

Ottawa basically traded Brady Tkachuk for 1st overall

 

[geebaan]

I’m loving these meaningless wins to end the year and tank our position once again

 

[moog35]

We're getting there. Worst team in the league over the last 4 years. #Benningsosobad

We actually improved this year unlike Buffalo and Edmonton. Nice try though

The Canucks xGF% is worse this year than it was last year. This isn't an improvement.

 

[Fire Benning]

The Canucks improved by winning less regulation games than last year.

The thing is we were behind the Sabres a couple of weeks ago.

The few wins we got late didn't cost us 1 or 2 spots, if we tanked like BUF over the last 10 games, we'd be tied with NJD for a bottom 3 spot and looking good to draft an impact player.

I can't read stats either. They suck.

Buffalo has improved more than us.

A whole decade worth of 1st overall picks plus wildly undeserving generation talent, and your team is still the south end of a north-bounding pig.

Makes you real proud doesn't it?

 

[Jack Burton]

and another season draws to the end of the Tank Thread.

I would like to thank Jacob Markstroms for making it close.

BIG shout out to Pettersson for proving me wrong.

now, what are we going to pay for jack Hughes?

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Hopefully they win out.

**** Jim Benning.
**** Aquilini.
**** all his supporters.

**** the King

"Bunch of ****s. You're **** at tanking, you know that?"

 

[Oliewud]

LOL refs just gave the devils the game...such BS

 

[ginner classic]

Ottawa basically traded Brady Tkachuk for 1st overall

No they actually traded two years of Duchene for the 1st overall.

 

[valkynax]

No they actually traded two years of Duchene for the 1st overall.

Do we have more points in the standings?

Do we have more wins overall?

 

[Hit the post]

If we win out to season's end, we'll have one more point that the Season of the Torts. I guess that's improvement technically.
