[Shah] With the Senators winning, the Canucks cannot finish higher than 11th worse, meaning they’ll have a slim shot at winning the Bedard sweepstakes regardless of what happens in these final 3 games

1. Good. Let’s close the season on a 3-0 streak

2. The Canucks have clinched a lottery spot

3. Washington also won against the desperate Isles (LOL) and Canucks are now tied with them with 79 points.

4. I don’t even care about the Bedard lottery at this point. It was just really exciting that this team could have had a really high pick regardless, and that whole thing about a “deep draft” doesn’t necessarily apply to the entire draft.

   But I know that I’ll be hyping up our pick regardless even if he projects to be a 3rd line player. Superstar in the making. Why didn’t any other team pick this player before us?

5. Great so just expect that wherever we place we fall 2 spots because we are the vancouver canoocks and if anything better then great

6. No way Gary let’s them get Bedard.

7. Has a team with slim chances ever won the lottery in recent history?

8. Listen, bench Demko for the remainder of the season. If anyone has a knick-knack injury. Sit em for “health reasons.” Let the kids and AHLers play, if they win. Neat, if they lose. Neat.

9. Bedard or not, I’m just happy this team is putting their heart out there in the game and for each other again. I’d take winning culture any day of the week.

   If we can confirm that Bedard’s got his Canucks jammies then for sure we’ll land him at some point anyway lol

10. #🥳

11. A loss tonight puts us in a really good spot for that chance at top 8.

12. Can’t win the lotto if you don’t buy a ticket!

13. Good ol’ purgatory.

14. The only way we win is if Gary rigs it but he’d never do that for the Canucks. In fact I’m surprised we aren’t getting any recapture penalties for simply even being in the Bedardbowl.

15. It’s time for Aqua to bribe that hobbit Bettman.

16. We are all ~~Canucks~~ Kings/Ducks/Coyotes.

17. Tank successful!

18. I had a dream last night from the Hockey Gods and they told me that they owe Vancouver one from 2011- hopefully it’s us getting Bedard

19. I’d honestly be happy with any of Bedard, Fantilli, Michkov, Carlsson, Smith, Benson, Sandin-Pellikka, Reinbacher, Moore. Feel like no matter what we’re getting a solid player. Dvorsky is interesting as well although not as sold on him as the others I listed.

20. So we’re realistically between 8-11 with a slim chance at 1 or 2.

    It’s definitely a steep drop off from the top 4, and we probably aren’t getting anyone that will step in next year.

    Our biggest hope is probably Reinbacher being there or Michkov falling to there (someone on the Marek show was saying he can see him falling that far depending on how the lottery shakes out. I doubt it but one can hope.)

21. So you’re saying there’s a chance…

22. I just wanted Vancouver to beat Calgary.

    They can lost the other three all they want.
