Sorry guys, I can't be on #TeamTank if Pettersson continues to carry the team like he currently does.
Why apologize? No one cares if you're on team tank or not.

I can't cheer for this garbage team Benning has put together. And it makes me feel happy when this team loses, so I'll keep hoping for that.
So if you cant cheer for the team... And it makes you happy when they lose... I have to ask why you're even a canucks fan at this point. Why not follow a team that makes you happy when they win?
lol me cheering shouldn't affect the team winning at all. I cheer for them to lose because it makes me happier when they do - not because I think it will literally make them lose.If we are truly as bad as everyone says we are, losing will happen on it's own without needing to cheer for it - especially with all of our injuries. Isn't it a bit more fun to cheer for the success of our young prospects and taking success or failure as it comes? If our prospects play great - then great! I'm happy. If we lose a bunch and get a high pick, then great! With the right mentality you really can't lose in the upswing of a team. Expectations aren't high.
I suppose the idea here is that it's better for us going forward to lose now and can the incompetency in our front office - but you don't need to be constantly negative to the point of outright never cheering for anything positive our team does anymore. At that point, it has to be asked - why even be a fan of the Canucks?

yeah and like usual the canucks have started the season "punching above their weight". In a few months with the injuries piling up and the youngest players on the team (the team is relying on to carry them) starting to slow down, things will be pretty ripe as usual.The Canucks made me happy when they won before they hired a bumbling idiot to be the GM. I can’t support this garbage. Maybe you can support sutpodity, but I’m sick of it and demand better. I take great enjoyment seeing him fall flat on his face, and seeing those who were happy he was extended look dumber and dumber.
We need another future top line/top pairing level talent.
It's necessary to have any real shot of winning.
Otherwise we end up in treadmill land.
I think that Pettersson kid is anti tank
Jack Burton said:And I'm willing to bet that Pettersson will play less than 25 games in the NHL. This kids game does not transition well to the NHL because when you takeaway his time and space, he becomes worthless.
Taking Pettersson @ 5 is a joke! If this franchise truly wants him then trade down and if their scared that he'll be selected before the trade down pick then just draft Suzuki.
Jack Burton said:Lololo seriously!
How about a avatar bet? I have a nice " I vanilla pudding players " for ya.
Is there a time limit on this bet? I'll give you D+2 years to get 25 NHL games in and if he doesn't then I win.
You down?

Those aged like a vintage fine wine. Ohh indeed
y2k’s position is cheering for the team. They are a Canucks fan. The tank thread kind of exposes the tensions between holding short-term and long-term views and the different kind of fandoms. I probably agree more with your line of thinking that I’d rather watch the Canucks finish last organically through exciting 7-6 games because I want to watch an exciting game of hockey. Thing is that’s not going to happen, and y2k is right that the quickest way to some exciting hockey is if Benning is gone.So if you cant cheer for the team... And it makes you happy when they lose...

The Canucks might have to trade Markstrom if they want a real shot at tanking.
If you look at the skaters of a team like Philly, it simply does not make sense that they are 4-7 while we're 7-6, sample sizes be damned. But they will probably miss the playoffs because their goalies suck ass.
Assuming the team falls off and is out of the race by Christmas, even with EP and Bo doing their best to be this years NJD, I'd actively look at shopping Markstrom for a 1st rounder to the highest bidder. Carolina, Philly, Calgary, and St. Louis should all be bidding for him.
Funny you point out Rantanen because he was drafted 10th overall, he wasn’t the result of tanking but actually the result of trying to make the playoffs but failed....Look at MacKinnon.
He always had the talent, but he’s looking a lot better with Ratanen there to share the offensive load.
Avs fans would be stupid to simply have been content with one superstar level player.

Not that I suggest we should go for it but...fact is fact
Now that you're mentioned Hutton, do you know the hilly billy you have as GM tried to trade him for scraps?Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat all getting points. Hutton looks excellent.
Can't be mad
Did the pro competitive people watch this thread during losses?have the pro tank people watched any games this year?

It goes farther back I can remember his previous Nick ( pauser) I believe he actually wanted the sedins traded for a bag of pucks at one time and said so on Russels call in show and I remember Dan Russell hit the roof on him .I feel like projecting your distaste for the management onto the team at large is a little off-base.
