To put it bluntly, you deserve mediocrity.

not ripping you vhg as you are just pointing it out, but this is the problem and why vancouver fans won't accept a rebuild ... it won't sell tix and you can't market it .... what you stated above is the 1040 mantra .... people wonder why TL and JB won't mention the word rebuild and that is it, as soon as it is said, vancouver will say fine, tell me when you are done and maybe i'll come back and buy some tix .... people/media who say van would have no problem with a rebuild are those who don't pay for games and those who get in for free ...

Perhaps, though as odd as this might sound, this could also serve to rebuild the fanbase as well.

There's no denying that this teams long road to contention will hurt Aqua's pockets, but it will be an opportunity for the blue caller, die hard fan to return to the live product.

With the inevitable drop in ticket prices, the non-business/glamor girlselfie community from the non DT area might be willing to re-invest their time and money in a team they can now afford to watch.

Laborers, students and the younger generation could serve to reinvigorate that abysmally stale crowd.

Always laugh when I see TSN broadcast the lumberjack competition.

You know hockey must be on the other channels.

Yes it would. Far better.
I hope Green gets the Florida job because I think it would be ridiculous the hire another coach with no NHL head coaching experience to replace the previous head coach who arrived with no NHL head coaching experience.

HABS!
MTL is going wild.

Old, souped up, rusted out civics everywhere honking their horns with the trademark window flags out.

Remember the expression on McDavid's face when he learned he was drafted by Edmonton?

Toronto right now.

Chicago as you said.

Tampa drafted top ten plenty, 5 times in a span of 6 years.

Those teams have competent management(Tampa once they hired Yzerman, before that they were (frank)ed like the Canucks)

Cool, i must have missed their cup parade! Odd that i thought I would have heard about it, anyways nothing to worry about, with the proper coach we'll not only be back in the playoffs we'll be competing for the cup!
