Re: 2019/20 Predictions
I’ve never touched acid in my life. I’ve smoked pounds of weed, did shrooms a few dozen times, did a shitload of blow back in the day. I’ve done E, hash.... peyote. That’s a about it. I’m a lightweight. Never done a needle or smoked rock or done meth.

Re: 2019/20 Predictions
Acid was nothing but good times only had one bad trip, it was fooked up, might’ve taken too much. I could drink like a fish on acid. I think I drank a 24 pack in one trip and I swear I was sober as fuck. Maybe I thought I was. Never did the bad stuff like heroin, that stuff was too hardcore. The people I new who did were messed up. MDMA/Ecstacy a whole bunch, shrooms a little and the Bump, well you know, who hasn’t

Not sure if it will be a WC spot or 3rd in the Pacific. This is if the Canucks keep the injuries to a dull roar and a couple other WC teams get worse as I suspect they might.
Petterson- 85 points
Horvat- 70 points
Boeser- 65
Miller-49
Pearson-37
Ferkland-35
Finally some actual depth that can slide up and down the lineup. This team also gets Tanev and Edler in the lineup for 70+ games each.
Hughes- 45
Edler- 34
Myers- 32
Stecher- 26
Markstrom has a stellar year and bolts to UFA. Demko gets in 25 games and doesn’t do too badly.

What is it this year +10?Ronning's Ghost wrote: Besides points in the standings, another way to measure progress is goal differential. In the 2017-2018 season, the Canucks were -46. In the 2018-2019 season, the Canucks were -29, for a total improvement of 17 net goals. If they make the same size step next season, they will be -12. This season, no team with a negative goal differential made the playoffs.
I'd be interested in discussions of other ways to measure improvement.
In any case, my hopes for the Canucks next season are bigger than a repeat of the same sized step they took this season. If Benning would prove himself a genius by the standards of the majority of posters here, the Canucks need to make the conference finals in 2020.

Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Did anyone predict the season would be interrupted by Covid?
And Blobcat sold Quinn way short.....adjusted for 82 games (and factoring in 6 points in the last 4 games) puts Huggie Bear at 67 points.
I won't even bother doing the math for his calls on Miller and Ferland.
At least he got Edler and Tanev right.

Re: 2019/20 Predictions
Hughes was on pace for 64 points. Miller was on pace for 85-86. Career year for him for sure. I was a bit conservative with their numbers for sure. I was pretty bang on for how many points I thought the Canucks would end up with. They were trending towards 92-93 points. I was correct that if Edler and Tanev stayed somewhat healthy we had a legit shot at playoffs.Mëds wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:14 pm Did anyone predict the season would be interrupted by Covid?

I shit the bed on Ferland. He may never score 35 points total in the puking whale.

Re: 2019/20 Predictions
I like that Doyles risks life and limb with his predictions. He’s emotional that way which makes him a wild card. His struggles are his inability to make the appropriate adjustments once the true nature of those predictions have been revealed. He’s a stubborn muleMëds wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:14 pm Did anyone predict the season would be interrupted by Covid?

He still thinks we should have signed Kevin Hayes to a 7 year 7 million per year contract instead of trading a non lottery pick for Miller

He still thinks Philly signed Kevin Hayes to a much too rich 7 year 7 million per year contract even though he’s a solid player. But he also knew the Flyers were in an excellent cap situation and had a ton of kids coming up.

The good doctor is being unduly (and uncharacteristically) modest. In his most cogent post ever, he convinced me that I should post far, far less than I had been. But I still like to check on how you are doing, and this week, participate vicariously in your joy.Strangelove wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:57 pmHe lurked 8 days ago.
