I like watching them play, gives me an excuse to drink beer at the pub with friends.

They are 5 points out and have 10 games to make up the difference and Dal and Phx have games in hand.

One of my coaches in junior, who went on to have a long career in multiple NHL disciplines, said to me, "the only thing that's important is the next game, the next period, your next shift".

I fully understand the guys (on HB) wanting a better draft pick, that said, to expect the players to have the same mind-set is asinine, to put it politely.

I hope they win every game from here on in, because winning is definitely better than losing no matter how you look at it!

Realistically, their chances of making the playoffs are slim and none, regardless, I like to see them play well and win…no matter the circumstances.

Someone's head better take a fall for this poop-show of a season though! Gillis or Torts, preferably both, but one will do!!

As do I. It is not easy sitting on this side of the fence.

We all knew at the binning of the year ,this team is not good enough.

We made huge strides this year with Mathias , Lack and Jensen.
It is time to flush the old and bring in the new.

The higher we pick this year the better the player. We need youth.
If any players like a Fox Horvat or a high prospect we get brings us that much closer to our rebuild, that's right I said rebuild

Winning these games do little except moral victories and false security.

You and DCT said it the other day you can't hang on and act on your heart.

I could see both Phoenix and Dallas failing down the stretch. Phoenix has a very tough schedule. But, the Canucks task is equally as tough, with 2 games against Anaheim, 2 against Colorado and LA and Min. Canucks need to win 9 of 10 I think to have a shot.

Any chance Jake Virtanen makes to 9th-12th overall?

By "win" do you mean scrape into the PO's and get a worse draft pick...

The only benefit to that is putting cash in Aquamans pocket....and he doesn't deserve it.

Whose? torts has them playing like a respectable team now.

And for the record, I still cheer for them to win, but expectation are low, and the future is on the horizon.

And they have played well under .500 all year so expecting two teams to tank and our team to play as high as the sky, might be expecting a little too much.

Do you think Gillis qualifies Schroeder in the summer, trades him or lets him walk?

I think the future will come as soon as next year.

Just saying that 8th spot is likely going to be a team limping into the playoffs

Trade we will have an abundance of centres

Yup

People forget we have one scoring line too.

If the Canucks make the playoffs they will be the hottest team in hockey, likely needing to go 9-1 down the stretch.
