To see how bad the Canucks are trying to channel the no goodness of the last 10 Oilers years, hop on to hfboards and see how shameless they cheer on each Flames goal for a loss.

Once you embrace the tank, there is no going back.

Probably not. Bennett would probably be more likely to move to the wing than Monahan as Bennett is a very fierce competitor along the boards and has the speed and skill to beat defenders down the wing.

Everytime I saw Miller giving up a goal, I laugh it out loud. Why would Benning trade away Lack is still puzzling...

good on the fans for being fans and cheering/throwing hats on the ice instead of being tankers

If the Blues go out in the first round again, I wonder if we can get Backes, Elliot, and Hitchcock from the Blues?

If this was Edmonton, instead of hats, they'd be throwing jerseys in disgust.

Of course, if Backlund was on the Oilers, they'd be losing 10-1, so...

They had 13 current, former, or future 20-goal scorers. If not counting future 20-goal scorers, they had 11 (taking away Gio and Backs).

Hartley isn't going anywhere, not during the off season anyways. I fully expect him to be on a short leash to start next year though.

I think the point is guys that actually put up 20 in the same year, not at some point in their carreer

Well, that's not what we're talking about.

Ah. Well, I guess I'll stop talking.

Even still, having 11 players who have scored twenty goals previously on one team...

It isn't, but it's pretty much how Sutter referred to them. We inherited all the people that had scored 20 goals at some point, and like two of them ever did it again

If anything, take it as a life lesson regarding awarding players with contracts based on one good season (Moss). Could be a Colborne scenario.
