We both suck
The difference is we are trending upward while your sliding down still

Trending up means improvement, you are still bottoming out. I don't deny that your team will acquire higher draft picks in the next couple years than us. I'm okay with my team trying to stay competitive.

honestly how is this lineup not a gimmie?

Glencross-Monahan-Hudler
Gaudreau-Colborne-Byron
Raymond-Backlund-Bouma
Bollig-Stajan-McGrattan

Did you just refer to the Flames as "trending upward"?

Well we hit our rock bottom and started the rebuild ...we are a better younger team today than two years ago ...if that's not trending up than I dunno what is

And yes I see the humour from a Canucks fan point of view

This is not the flames lineup ...backs Monahan Stajan are the 3 centres usually in no particular order

And I both grats and bolig are in

Also that lineup might be a gimmie against the Hawks or Bruins etc not the Canucks jets or oilers

The view from the bottom is 20/20

Do you think it was those attempted pull ups that did the damage?
- belcherbd

Supposedly his shoulder his been plaguing him since last year, so I honestly wonder if that's why he failed so hard at the combine

I love the Canucks fans who are still in denile of what this team is ....it's been over a year since the Canucks could call any team a gimmie ...they have become more of a gimmie for the playoff teams

Bro, you can't even spell denial

18lb hook nose coho this morning, fun, fun, fun.

Yea I got a good laugh from that as well I think maybe he means upwards with respect to the draft order

Actually, it is the lineup that was posted by the Calgary media and in the blog which I guess you didn't read. Will it be the lineup tomorrow? Maybe not, maybe, but I guess we should all take your word for it because the 246 Red Miles before you didn't know SFA.

No - it puts him in the RNH category of being in a kids body playing a mans game.
- LeftCoaster

except RNH fell over his own feet and hurt himself, and bennet hurt his shoulder in the playoffs of the previous season.

no need to rush him anyways, and now theres a reason not to.

I'm pretty sure you haven't hit bottom yet

Couldn't find anything wrong with the statement so you Decided to argue my poor grammar ....fair enough

Rock bottom is realizing you have zero prospects and aren't a playoff team ....we hit that

No rock bottom is when you draft multiple times in the 1-2-3 hole, you're not there yet...but you're well on your way.

I like him better on the wing with Monahan ...

There's that name again on the 3rd line. Raymond is that perfect example of a player not good enough to play top 6 and his skill set really doesn't fit on the bottom 6. He can play in the NHL I just don't know at what position.

except RNH fell over his own feet and hurt himself, and bennet hurt his shoulder in the playoffs of the previous season.

- numbear

Yup agreed - very skilled young player. He's still got the body of a kid though, let him get bigger and fill out, there's no rush.

Not really, I know what my team is, I don't need to "argue" with you, as pointing out that you spelled denial wrong is not a subjective argument but a literal fact of the standardized English language.

What's so bi-polar about grouping the Canucks with the oilers and jets rather than Hawks Bruins ?

They are a hell of a lot closer to the two I mentioned ...hell they might finish below one

Who have you seen grouping the Canucks with the Hawks and the Bruins??
Edit: If they exist, they are probably trapped in the year 2011
