Well, I don't think they're good enough to win four series. But they're hot enough, right now, to win one or two. ESPECIALLY against the Rangers who have been a .500 team for the last two months or so.

So, I can't tell if this is an early April Fool's joke or not... it's so ridiculous that it's hard to believe this could actually be enforced.


These are some of the provisions for what will happen if Vancouver were to make the Stanley Cup Finals again this year...

This year, the city will actively discourage a large, centralized public celebration with the following measures, should the Vancouver Canucks reach the Stanley Cup final series:

All licensed establishments and liquor outlets in Vancouver will be prohibited from selling or serving alcohol to anyone for the duration of the series.

Pubs that remain open will be prohibited from showing the games on TV.

SkyTrain service will be limited to 7:30 p.m. on game nights.

Special police enforcement teams will patrol major streets pre-emptively, arresting anyone wearing a Canucks jersey.


http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/stephen-quinn/buzzkill-for-the-canucks-next-shot-at-the-cup/article2380057/

It's in the Globe which is basically our equivalent to... The New York Post? Or whatever your biggest "serious business" newspaper is down there. I honestly think it has to be a joke.

I hope it's serious. If your city is full of children that can't behave like normal humans during a sporting event, you deserve to lose things like watching the games in bars and stuff.

Eh. I don't even want to get into this, but it truly only takes a couple of people to start an event that disastrous. Vancouver is seriously an amazing city and that was evidenced by the hundreds of volunteers who came out the next day and cleaned up the entire riot zone. I mean you're free to think whatever you want, but ask literally anyone you know who has been here what they think of the people in Vancouver and let me know what they tell you.

you deserve it for liking terrible teams imo

Also sheep I actually want to visit Vancouver some day so I don't really care about all that. That there had to be a volunteer effort in the first place still means bad stuff happened. I don't think you're a bad city or anything, it's just that people there represented you horribly and I think these are justified repercussions.

Though hopefully they don't make the SCF and this is all rendered meaningless anyway. They're one of two teams I could see the Pens losing to in the SCF.

i still think the kings will finish top 8, they are better than the coyotes.

the caps missing the playoffs would be amazing, but it would be the best thing that could happen to them. maybe they'd finally make the moves they should've made last summer to fix their team up.

Did you read the entire article? It's definitely not serious.

Toronto has been eliminated from postseason contention for the 7th straight year. I'll be honest, if you asked me at the start of the season which Ontario team was more likely to make the playoffs, I'd have gone with the Leafs. I think I may actually be starting to feel sorry for them... but then I remember it's Toronto and go on with my life.

They won't though. They absolutely won't. Teddy will justify standing pat because "well we need to see what Dale can do with this team for a WHOLE SEASON"

They're finally going to get what they deserve. They've been the worst team in the league for the past 3 years and just now they're going to get a #1 draft pick.

To add on to the "Joe Sacco is a moron" tirade:

"I didn't think our execution or compete was as high as it was 5-on-5 -- it needed to be better on the power play, no question. It's frustrating for everybody right now, but I'm proud of the way our guys fought to the end."

Congratulations on a good season guys! We failed to make the playoffs again after giving up in the final two weeks of the season, but I think we played really well! </sarcasm>

Sad thing is, there is talk of this guy getting a contract renewal next season.
