Even if they manage to play .500 hockey, for the remainder of season, they end up with 80 points or so.
#top 10 pick.

They won't play .500, I'd be more inclined to say .300

Lefty is going to be thrilled.
- Marwood

Interesting take, and yes I would also agree. It's not like they purposely lose by one goal but with the puck watching and lack of quality defending (by all players not just defenseman) this team is at least 2 good complementary wingers away from being good. Felt bad for Markstrom last night, he makes the great saves only to be let down by defensive support...

When Hughes and Juolevi make the squad and settle in, two more additional pieces from either drafting and or someone steps up in the development, this team will be good again.

There is my pom pom waving for this morning.

I agree. I think if Canucks were concerned about the losses they would try to fix them now but they are not .

Jeff Skinner Kirby Dach and Zack MacEwen will be a nice second line.

Darling and Soshnikov clear

- VANTEL

Dach on Horvat's RW, he's a great playmaker, would be a nice addition to that second line.

.500 Hockey is pretty realistic. I think we'll end up similar to where the Oilers picked last draft around 9-10. Which isn't so bad.
- LordHumungous

If Horvat gets hurt this team will sink faster then the titanic to last place overall. There is no question he is the heart and motor of this team. The obvious Captain !!!

PHI has asked for and received permission from ANA to talk to Dave Nonis about the Flyers GM job. Chuck Fletcher and Bill Zito are the other candidates, to this point.
- VANTEL

He's still in the system somewhere...shocking

Yeah he is rising on the charts. Big boy with a lot of skill.

This actually seemed like a rational take for you. Are you off your meds?

They’ve won what, 1 of the last ten? Against the worst team in the league. Who they then lost to the next game. Pretty sure that downward spiral is well underway.
- CubanBuffet

Canucks have the rest of the league exactly where they want them.

For me last night was the first night that Brock looked like last years Brock. Even his game before he got injured with the four points he didn't look quite right.

Nice to have him back.

I was only allowed tap water.

lol very possible. But when healthy we can eek out a few more wins. See where it goes.

Lefty is going to be thrilled.

Love it!

Yeah need to make sure the wins dont happen. The fight is still there but they dont win.

lol nope...Canuck luck baby. We'll finish just well enough to pick 7-10.

- LordHumungous

Finish 4th and drop three to seventh, I could see. Legit 7 to 10 finish takes a leap of faith.

Isn't it time for your diapers to be changed?

Absolutely.

My fear is that he isn't past all the injury crap but we'll see.

After sutter and beagle get back at center, they'll push two good players to the wings. The trickle down effect will mean that everyone will be paying in a position to succeed, so they will.

1PM home game tomorrow

They do play the Flyers, so they should get at least 1 win.
