L GDT: Canucks host leaves - Oct 31 - 4pm SN/ ESPM+

[Carl Yagro]

What if JPP was Malhotra?

Yeah Megs, we’re not even allowed to win Stenberg.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Strange to be cheering for a Leaf. Should have been ours.

You know that's never going to be allowed to happen JPP.

Unfortunately, can't be helped. Proud card carrying Yukoner.

We back ours. Its just neighbourly.

Yeah I know. I meant the whole not winning the lottery thing.

[Megaterio Llamas]

What if JPP was Malhotra?

Yeah Megs, we’re not even allowed to win Stenberg.

Yep. We'll take the third pick in a two player draft and be happy with that.

[Cornuck]

Other than all those fuckin' toronto fans, the homer announcers, and the "go leaves go" chant in our building, not a bad 1st period.

Gotcha, understood.

If the league finally throws us a bone in 2027 DuPont I predict will be a bigger prize than McKenna.

Just a pile of BS the Leaves jump up to even get a 1st overall.

This is on the shortlist of the very few games I’d really like to win this season.

[Megaterio Llamas]

How did the Canucks manage to put together such a puny, soft, untalented, easy to play against roster?

That can't be accidental.

[Cornuck]

Good thing there's a lot of ex-Canucks on the leaves, or we'd be done.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Tanking ain't easy Megs. You endeavor to have sand kicked in your face while looking to the refs for consequences

[Carl Yagro]

Zack Frickin' MacEwen, folks.

We're still paying Yuckman?

[Cousin Strawberry]

Yucky would be our #1 if the old man hadn't pulled that rabbit out of his hat.

Just how bad was the dementia in that one you have to wonder

[Megaterio Llamas]

Those Rogers commercials aren't annoying enough for me.

I wish they would really dial up the cringe.

[donlever]

We're still paying Yuckman?

Until 30/31...

It's true that tanking can be hard on the fanbase.

But the only requirement is to finish the season with amongst the lowest points in the League. There's no need to get pushed around in the process.

In fact, I think I have said here that one way to maintain fan engagement through the process is to ice a serious goon squad. Pound it into the subconscious of the rest of the League that when they come to Vancouver, all they want to do is go for a nice, clean, non-physical, skate and take the two points while minimizing their injury risk.

[Carl Yagro]

Just how bad was the dementia in that one you have to wonder

You want to talk about incompetence and senility?

The old TFGs traded a very young 10th overall for a 4th rounder. He needed to clear waivers to be sent down by then and they didn't think there a roster spot for him.

...yet they made room for Danton Heinen, Daniel Sprong, and Nils Aman on opening night(!)

McJesus and Ze German are pretty ok with the kid.

Fuck yeah, and here we are... the Mollycoddled Era!
