Who wants some more?
Weirdly, this season feels like it's going much faster than last year. The last month of 2022-23 felt like a glacial slog whereas this one feels like a quick march to the guillotine. Almost to April!
Good on Columbus for being the only team on that list to get better this yearMaybe because there was an actual race to the bottom last year with three #1 overall talents, one of them being a generational talent, between four teams. It was kinda hilarious between the tank crowd and the non-tank crowd. We had to stay glued between the two groups because some are celebrating after the game.
In the draft, we have one #1 overall and a freefall between 2-12 (Wheeler's list). This year, there really wasn't much to pique our interest since there are considerable gaps with the bottom-4. (Chicago is slowly making a move closer to us with a win last night!) We don't have many weaker teams scheduled after the TDL. Also, we've been shutout often since the TDL and the product on the ice is difficult to stay focused on. Feels like we've written off the games faster because we've been blown out more often. Not much entertainment factor.

We've been more abysmal this year than last year's post-TDL games, crazy as it sounds.
Gauthier plays at 1 as well…Damn, I have to make a choice between baseball and hockey today. Which one goes on the big screen and which on the tablet. Ducks on the tablet with the volume down it is.

We're still openly tanking, it's just that now our stomach is empty of chunks and we're just convulsively vomiting bile.So TLDR (in jest I did read it)
We are worse this year after the TDL compared with last year
....when we were openly tanking
...and we are less entertaining doing it
...great. it can only go up from here.
...right?
...right?
Against the top two teams in the Pacific Division, too.having to play a back to back with less than 24 hours inbetween games with traveling is so messed up.
Dostal is a great goalie. But obviously plain to see the players just want to get over the season already. Cronin hasn't worked out. And they are tanking to get that 2 spotDostal playing
We win in overtime 4-3
I don't even think being the only game on in the afternoon on a weekend is enough to make non Vancouver fans want to watch us.sucks we're the only game today, so now everyone can see how awful this team is.
