I dunno what's worse for a fan. Never having even been in the Stanley Cup finals like Acid has had to experience his entire life... or not experienced to be accurate. Or to have lost twice in game 7s and lost another time vs a dynasty.

Either way, not even making it to a final should invalidate your ability to talk trash in the playoffs

EDIT: This page is really interesting - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts . I think Canucks definitely have most painful history. Thankfully 2004 is only when it started to matter.

wow yeah you've failed longer than we have you really got me bro

 

[TheKaeptain]

It does. We are a better franchise.

Did you not watch the end of Ricky Bobby. He learns that if you're not 1st, you're last was the wrong way of thinking. You missed the life lesson at the end.

EDIT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20iio0wLpPA, here you go.

Real quick

One of those is from the Sharks wiki and the other is from the Canucks page. Who is who?

Vancouver has a Stanley Cup... From 1915.
The Canucks bought the licensing right for the Millionaires;
Therefore 1 Stanley Cup is sort of in the Canucks franchise...

:|

 

[MetatronM]

The Canucks put 1940 to bed for us, so they've got that going for them.

All the Sharks have done for us lately is give us a concussion machine that the Devils got conned into signing, an AARP member defenseman, and Tanner Glass' understudy.

:lol that's even more depressing

 

[ZeroGravity]

Basically a must-win game for the Lightning tonight. This team does not have the mental toughness yet to come back from a 3-1 deficit, same as their inability to come back from even a one goal deficit in an actual game.

Garrison says he's a game-time decision. We'll see. #FreeDrouin.

 

[trifelife]

Wow cool debate guys

 

[MutFox]

:lol that's even more depressing

Best part is we still haven't won a game in our Millionaires throwback jerseys... :/

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Wings in 5!!!

Spoiler

Tampa in 6

 

[Terrordactyl]

he's talking about the playoffs

there it's Russel, Wideman and Brodie (tbf, Wideman and Brodie are tied with Gaudreau and Bennet)

Derp, ok, carry on.

 

[Clydefrog]

The @VanCanucks have come back 3 times from series down 3-1, most in the NHL

Hmmm.

Fear The Fin ‏@fearthefin 4m
Since 2012, the Canucks have won two playoff games. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won three.

Hmmm.

Shut up.

Since 2015, the Canucks have won one playoff game. The San Jose Sharks have won zero.

Hmmm.

Real quick

One of those is from the Sharks wiki and the other is from the Canucks page. Who is who?

I fucking love NHL-Gaf.

Hmmmm.

I'm feeling positive about tonights game. I'll be at work again so I'm cranking the speakers and wearing my jersey.

Still at Staples? You guys sell speakers?

Vancouver better win tonight. I don’t want Tabris in my off-season thread yet.

We're your friends now.

Carne asada fries, California burritos and IPAs for all!

I’m getting fat over here, man. But I know now what I’m having for dinner!

No thanks for Torts and Messier.

Better at failing better at interior decorating. Hey ladiiiiiiiez.

 

[GaimeGuy]

So yeah, who spiked Dubnyk's water bottle last night?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Now that the dust has settled. Please win out Canucks. I need to see the Ducks smash you guys.

Yupppppppppp! I took one of the open boxes and used that to blast the game last time.

What's wrong with you? Hiller Vs Boudreau is too good of a story to deny.

Nice! I’d totally buy some highlighters or something if I heard my Staples blasting a hockey game.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yep. I've accepted that the Ducks are the best team in the NHL right now.

What's wrong with you? Hiller Vs Boudreau is too good of a story to deny.

Ducks beat you because of experiences. Ducks beat Canucks because Kesler goes in on them. I like the latter storyline better.

 

[MutFox]

Tickets bought.
Will be in the lower bowl behind the net in the Canucks attacking zone for periods 1+3

Go Canucks Go!!

 

[Giggzy]

I should quit smoking weed.

So I accidentally inhaled a decent amount of hydrofluoric acid gas a little while ago. My eyes felt like they were melting, and my throat felt like it was closing. Normal procedure is to report this to our safety engineer immediately so you can get sent to the clinic to make sure you're alright. One thing they'll do for work related injuries is drug test you to make sure you aren't high/drunk while working. Well, due to my "medical" use of marijuana, I couldn't do that or I'd lose my job. Luckily there weren't any other engineers around when I did this, so I just stood there for ten minutes in pain as I contemplated what to do. Thankfully the irritation started to dissipate and now I'm fine.

TLDR: I'm not quitting smoking weed.

Fire Quenneville

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'm not taking any team lightly. Vancouver can play well against us. Calgary might be mad they haven't won a game in Anaheim this decade and might try to fix that.

Oh yes, and Hiller.

Would it be weird if he lets in a couple soft goals then Ramo takes over?

GAF is purgatory.

I would be okay with this, as it means we make the second round.

I'm just glad I'll get to see the Nucks eliminated in PST.

 

[zroid]

Drouin in for Morrow?! :O

 

[ZeroGravity]

Drouin in for Morrow?! :O

Fucking finally.

That said, he's now just going to be stuck on the fourth line, where he won't get to make much of a difference.

 

[zroid]

Forsberg snubbed.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Looks like Garrison's in for Nesterov. Good thing Cooper is taking out the only positive thing our power play had going for it.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Dang it, going to miss the beginning of the game, should be back for the late 2nd maybe.

 

[ShaneB]

Game time. Go Caps! Catch phrases! Sports!

 

[ZeroGravity]

Please just show up tonight Stamkos.

EDIT: Cooper throwing a curve, going with 7 defenseman. Nesterov in, Namestnikov out.

Fuck him. All 3 of the other players are better.

Holy fuck, while I don't like that you didn't seek help, I understand why you didn't. Just glad you're ok for now.


Your lungs will remember this.
