That's a static way of looking at things. Like Booner has said; Things are fluid. Dealing in black and white promotes misunderstanding and criticism.

Is it? I take it to be pointing out that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Deciding to tank at the TDl is great, it's just not that different than deciding at the beginning of the year when you know your team sucks.

I'm a leaves fan like you're a rhodes scholar

I knew you were leafs fan.

They are a much, much better team. Also way more fun to watch. They've taken your "let the kids play and kick the old guys out, it will be more fun to watch" more than any other team... is Vantel actually Lou Lamarello?!

And yet they sit 2 points ahead of us and same amount of wins

Which way are they trending? Be honest now, don't let your hate of Leaves enter into it. Which way are we trending, you can do it!

Agree with all that. When the light shines somewhere else people get frustrated on why it's not happening here. Don't resign vets like Hammer or vet UFA for depth on D and then play a young D core gets slammed.

Instant success and patience don't play well together.

That's a huge part of the criticism. In Edmonton or Toronto, after years and years of incompetence, they were able to handle the little mistakes and missteps because they realized there was a larger goal that the team was working towards.

Much of the media and fans in Vancouver are seemingly ONLY concerned with the little things and they forget very easily to look at the big picture. It's like people need to be told yes mistakes will be made along the way, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And no, failing to move Hamhuis for a 2nd or 3rd round pick is not why the team is where it is

They have some good young players on their team and in their system. As do we. Yes they have greater volume but they also have many many years head start on us

Can we get some clarification of expectations?

Which club will be next to make the playoffs and which will win a series? in how many years?

Anyone who says our rebuild has been a success is an idiot...sure as hell shouldnt take 10 years either

Should we start calling you Miss Philippines?

That was one hell of a pick, It was the pick amongst picks. The golden pick. The Austen Matthews of picks

Not jealous at all. I said all last year I would take Laine in a heartbeat over Mathews . Even If I had first pick I wouldn't chose him.

these comparisons always seem to be as much of a who has a sh1ttier team as who is trending in the right direction.

we are going to win more in the future doesn't sound like a lot to hang your hat on in the present. and then to start arguing with another fan base about it sounds desperate on all sides.

I guess we won't be seeing you in here past mid January

No kidding. People seem to be all about "trending up" and "projected" they forget that the future holds many many variables and that you are respected and admired for what you've done, not what you hope to do.
