trying to win and losing = development and rebuild

trying to lose = recipe for perpetual failure and at best bridge to mediocrity

And?

We were having a very good conversation and maybe that's a good sign the team is going to turn it around tonight. 3-2 Canucks. Manvanfan

No Van is going to win tonight. I won't get to see them win though. I have to go to work tomorrow at 4 am

Great optimism, not sure I can agree, but good on you Makita

Eh Makita.

Eh Makita.

Also, the Hurricanes look like a playoff team right now and don't really help his argument. Not to mention all the other teams that bottomed out and are now looking like legitimate contenders for the next 5 years: But hey, look at Buffalo, Arizona and Colorado!

Please commence hand-holding a 5 pm pacific time. I love you all, you are all my special little guys.

NFU = Confirmation Bias again..."the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses."

He's clearly ignoring every example of teams winning the Cup through getting top picks, purposely or otherwise. As has been said many many times, you can't do it with just getting top picks, you must select well throughout the draft and develop properly.

It's ok, I got your back

LeftyFU = Confirmation bias. Using a couple past examples from a system that no longer exists under the modern lotto while ignoring the many failures.

To think that your goaltending is gonna take points off of me this week.

Wings are a better team than Vancouver, you shouldn’t be laughing at the flames d when you think Stecher is an all world pro
- Makita

Can you provide what measure makes the Wings better then the Canucks

Further the unrealistic statement that Stecher is an all world pro confirms the spewing of hyperbole over thoughtful opinion or factual discussion.
