Even Gretzky needed a supporting cast.Repent all you sinners while you have time, the resurrection of Christ our savior has happened and he is wearing number 34 for the Leafs. Lock up your wife's, mothers and children as there will be hell to pay for you non believers (That is for my boys FishT, Pippen and Derby)
To many if's there UDSeeing as most forecasts have the Canucks dead last I'll join the chorus that they'll exceed expectations, which is unfortunate as the best chance at the top pick wouldn't be a bad thing! There just isn't the scoring or the lock down defence on this team so don't see them out scoring other teams on a regular basis or being able to hold teams to scratch out 1-0 or 2-1 games. Having said that, if we stay healthy, if Sutter scores at a career pace, if one or two of the prospects add some unexpected scoring punch and if the defensive core gels and play consistently we just may be in the wild card race in the last month of the season.
Cheers!

You're telling me!!! But isn't that why we watch - with the delusional hopes that all the Canuck "if's" will pan out (substitute Leafs, Oilers, Flames, etc here)??To many if's there UD
You drinking already you seem to be repeating yourself. As for supporting cast don't see your nucks with much to offer as a supporting cast to a couple of old twins .Even Gretzky had a supporting cast. He can't win all by himself and the rest of the team doesn't scare anyone

Stop that, LOL!!I agree...
Probably not a popular opinion but if Matthews and McDavid hadn't run into goalies who couldn't stop a beach ball, and in the case of McDavid had a ref willing to ignore multiple hooks on Johnny Hockey only to award McD a penalty shot for a phantom hook, they both would have been lucky to have a point each. John Garret could have stopped two of Matthews and McDavids weak one!!The leafs may have final got a alright player and he thinks god has showed up..lol
So true, glad your boys only score highlight goalsProbably not a popular opinion but if Matthews and McDavid hadn't run into goalies who couldn't stop a beach ball, and in the case of McDavid had a ref willing to ignore multiple hooks on Johnny Hockey only to award McD a penalty shot for a phantom hook, they both would have been lucky to have a point each.
