Canucks News N Notes 26-27

[Madcombinepilot]

LOL
Leader of the worst team in hockey with no clear goals for this still birth of a season other than loosing.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is an epic take on the team.

Topper, your sunny outlook on this team is a sewer drain I look forward to smelling every day.

According to Ben Kuzma today, Willander (lower body) and Chytil (shoulder) are expected to play Friday vs the Rangers.

I'm fixin' to give up, truth be told.

[Cornuck]

I'm fixin' to give up, truth be told.

With that kind of attitude, we'll have to put you on GDT detail.

Oh no, not GDT detail boss. GDT is worse than a week in the box.

I'll get my mind right, I promise!

[Carl Yagro]

Dun worry, Megs. I'm sure the GDT cell will be occupied for awhile longer.

Even if you do end up being held in detention, I'm sure your cookie won't get crumbled from the cuffing.

[Megaterio Llamas]

I hope the damned handshells aren't on too tight.

[5thhorseman]

We'll all need to take a turn in the GDT cell eventually.

The trick is to stay out of the rubber room.

You know I knew we were going to be bad this year. But I bought into the team hype at training camp and thought maybe we would be fighting for a wild card spot. I know, extremely optimistic.

But I never imagined we would be this epic bad. Certainly goaltending has been a problem that explains some of this. But it is everything else that has been a disappointing surprise to me. I mean we are just bad. There are glimmers of bright spots I suppose. Lekkerimaki is quietly having a good year. DPetey is holding his own. Ohgren is showing glimpses of why JR wanted him in the Quinn deal. EP40 is having a bounce back season. Boeser is getting points that may make him tradeable at some point. DeBrusk too. Willander and Buium are still being thought about as potential future top 4 candidates.Hronek is logging a ton and holding his own.

So glimpses for sure but just bad. Historically so. Perhaps we will show better if Demko ever recovers. But I see no hope of being a wild card I so wanted us to be at the beginning of the season. I just never expected bad to be this bad. Year one of the re-build.........a success.

Not sure being in a wild card race in the first year of a rebuild was a realistic expectation?...

As tough as the losing is, for me knowing that they could improve the team by spending their league leading cap space but have chosen not to and won't cut corners is a positive as are the many prospects scattered around the various leagues who are showing NHL futures...

I think I would feel worse if I was a say Leaf fan knowing the team thought blowing their wad over the summer was the right thing to do when in reality they might be a Matthews and Nylander away from being a lottery team and now finding themselves in cap and tagging hell while being a sub .500 team...

Looking ahead, the cap is expected to be just shy of $130 in 2 years which sets the team up nicely with their current prospects and another 2 drafts all while still being closer to the cap floor which is when they might be able to weaponize it...

Wait ' til gestapo gets you.
