Try to be positive guys. 2 points out of 4 is like losing both games in OT, and with Edler and Tanev both out for the foreseeable future the Canucks will lose their fair share of games. Saturday is most likely a regulation loss.

More annoyed that we're tied for the last WC spot right now and could have had 2 teams pass us tonight. This will absolutely be used to justify not selling/possibly buying.

Young guys led the way tonight, so that’s a positive
Okay, this is becoming a huge pet peeve for me. Oh, young guys led the way so yay! Well whoop-de-f***ing-do. Of course the young guys led the way. They're the only good players on the damn team. Doesn't that say something about all the old guys these idiots have gone out to get? Weren't they supposed to do something? Or was that all some total bullshit subjective stuff about locker room stuff and work ethic?

We all know it was BS. We all know the guys they brought in suck. The games where the old idiots decide to be good for a game are usually in games we have no business winning.

Saying the young guys led the the team to a win is literally the only way to spin not losing into a positive.

FLA, NYR and COL are tied with the Canucks for points percentage. All have at least 2 games in hand on VAN.

CHI and ARZ are 2 and 4 points back respectively, but also have at least 1 game in hand on VAN.

EDM and ANA are 6 points back, but have 3 and 2 games in hand respectively.

It's going to be a very tight finish. The potential to sink to 5th overall is still very real.

Canucks still play ARI x2, COL, ANA x2, EDM, CHI, LAK to finish off the season. Those will be big games.

Head to head, VAN seems to play well against EDM and COL. ANA and CHI not so much.

Also, am I right in asserting that if COL and CHI win their next game respectively, that they both pull ahead of VAN in terms of points percentage?

The young guys leading to wins and a better team means we are heading towards mediocrity. We need like at least two more big pieces before I'd say we are ready to start leave the rebuild. When the Canucks leave the rebuild, I don't want us to have to go back into it and retool the rebuild nonsense.
