If peeps really want to up the odds, let me do all the GDTs from now on. We'd lose to a midget team if I do it.

Nah. Not for me. I hated them for a couple of seasons, but before 2011 they were one of my preferred teams not from Vancouver.

They stayed true to their legacy of being the Big Bad Bruins.....not gonna hate on them because we had a buncha pussies and a bottomless water pail in the crease.

Hate all original 6 teams.

They punished us for years in one way or another.

All of them.

Well, except the Leaves lol....

The fucking Leaves voted to keep an NHL franchise out of van during the '67 expansion.

Say....wasn't that the last time they won a playoff round?

I have no problems with the Bruins beating the brakes off of us now.

Hopefully it's a teachable and see-the-light moment for this organization to witness what a model franchise looks like.

With extended periods of success, winning and contending teams with playoffs more years than not. Even during down seasons, the drought doesn't last very long before they're right back into the playoffs.

Whether they rebuild or retool, it's done quickly and this group should look into why other teams can do it while we are perpetually mushyocrity.

...so what are we doing here with these GD GDT's.

Going for a psychological reactance approach?

Whatever we can do to stop the winning trend?

Or do we carry on with the karmic force shaping theorem whereby we believe what we do has influence?

The result of the latter may be a mushy middle approach which Dude could speak to if we weren't all whiny bitches who hamper his flow.

So I said it for him.

Care to opine via oration?

Push for McKenna or bust?

Shall we, the last of the sane, rational Canuck fandom do our duty and try and break the streak??

I have such a bad, or is it good, historical record on GDTs, do you guys just want me to take over?

The system in place got us to 32nd - I believe it can hold.

Obviously, this subforum controls the fate of the franchise, so I am open to other ideas.

I have probably one of the worst GDT win records all-time and the HGs still forked us over... with a SO to rub salt into the wound.

I'm happy to pocket my winning streak and stop at 1.

Let me know.

I think you're safe Hank. Winners (or should that be losers?) should not start the next GDT I would say.
