Older fan realists eyes wide open vs newby fan blind optimists.
The season in general is just weird and not just the Canucks.
We had Winnipeg go on a tear now they are 9 points back of their division lead.
Oilers were trash … Then a 16 game win streak and we’ll.. they could still take the division.
Vegas is fighting for a wild card.
Nashville has gone god mode.
We have had ups and downs just not as extreme as other teams.
I am mentally prepared for any possible outcome from the Canucks this season. If we have all players firing on all cylinders we have a shot. If some guys become passengers we are fucked…
Experience says it could be either or, honestly.
Honestly, I don’t care how far we go, at a minimum this season has finally given me some hope for the future of this team. I’ll believe we’re the real deal when the success is repeatable.
Doesn’t have to be to the same extreme (e.g. competing for the presidents trophy) but comfortably in a playoff/WC spot.
Every time we’ve lost two in a row my brain has gone “ah well, here we go again” and it’d be nice to get rid of that feeling.
I remember when the right button would have been “We’re picking ~~1st~~ 5th overall!”
we won’t be getting swept but I don’t expect this team to get past the first round
Maybe this team has lost that fight they had earlier in the season to prove everyone wrong? Now theyre in the playoffs and just have their eyes set on a bigger prize? Could be either they continue the mediocrity or the guys that have been coasting a bit turn it up a notch and unleash hell in the post season?
This is why I love being a Canucks fan. The one team i’ll let play with my anxiety. 😩
We’re a rolleecoaster of emotions and I will have it every way.
Just need to gain valuable playoff experience for the core (except miller)
Chances we get outta the 1st round are slim unless we get preds/Jets imo
If Jets slide thats our best chance imo but they would really have to slide
Really don’t want kings or knights
I’ll obviously be disappointed if we get bounced in the first round. But I’ll still consider the season a success. It has been very fun to follow the team this year and hopefully we’ll build on this season.
I got shat on for effectively being in the latter
I don’t know about swept, but they’re not playing well.
