Injuries concerns me

I want them to make the playoffs, I was just saying they don't deserve to. Thanks for learning how to read.

How dont they derserve to? they have been doing good against elite teams, yes they lost to Buffalo and arizona but Buffalo has gotten the best of Tampa bay and the canadiens more then once this year, and La and San Jose

It's not losing to them that's concerning. They didn't play against them. They went on to the ice and then nothing.
Step 1: Go out on to the ice

Why the F@2k don't they. What a stupid thing to say. You get the points you deserve to be there. I actually have enjoyed most of the games this season. I think they are deserving. I also think you're an a$$. I read at a 10th grade level btw.

If they finish in a playoff spot they deserve it. Outside of a few games against bottom feeders they've been busting ass most nights. They're not good enough to rely on skills alone.

Exactly, you have to give the other team some credit for stepping up against a team that's "better" than them too. In Vancouver's case, I can't tell you how much better, but they are better.

They have to go 10-8 over the final stretch. As long as they keep picking up loser points in their losses, and string together a couple 2-3 game winning streaks, they can make it.

I'm counting on a win tomorrow against San Jose to boost this team's confidence for the final stretch.

The teams been like this for years. Outside of the 2010-2011, they've always had that "this game is going to be easy" mentality. It comes from the leadership group, and I think WD is doing his best to purge this team of it. I doubt he finds any success with this roster. You need some young guys who have a lot to prove to bring that kind of intensity.

My point exactly, and teams that think like that for so many games don't deserve it. I am a fan of this team, but when I see them winning several games primarily because the other team didn't show up or because their goalie was too good to lose this game, that worries me about the future of the team.

Had to one up my double post with a quadruple post eh?

Nice to see the rally back for a point, but what a cluster(frank) that game was. If they we looking past the Coyotes to the Shark this weekend, we better see some better effort to deal with those Sharks. We're becoming some grade A slump busters.

Micah, you've been following this team as long as I have, they aren't "becoming" grade A slump busters, it is the cultural identity of this franchise. How many players set NHL records against the Canucks, or ended futile losing streaks, or goalless streaks etc.?

I know this will be too difficult for some here to read but pretty good article I thought from Kesler on the players tribune.

We really blew it when we had the chance to be the first Western conference team to lose to Edmonton this season and didn't

Injuries concerns me

Players returning from injury concern me. Thought they had a good road trip, ignoring the losses to the Sabres and Devils, I liked their jump- similar to what we saw at the start of the season. Not sure if that was guys stepping up but sometimes with everyone where they think they should be some complacency creeps in... guys looking around waiting for someone else to step up.

I've been watching since the beginning and you are absolutely right, my friend.
