Can this five-game road swing actually save the Canucks' season?

FINALLY some actual hockey on the horizon 😤🔥 opening in Carolina Oct 8 and then five straight on the road - we've been staring at that 58-point disaster all summer and tbh I'm done sulking, I want to SEE something. Yeah, dead last, yeah that goal diff is ugly as sin (-100, my eyes hurt), but road swings like this can flip a room real quick. Win a couple in Jersey or against the Rangers and suddenly the building at Rogers Arena isn't booing anymore. Heart says we shock some folks on this trip... head says otherwise 😱 ah well, nowt to do but watch it unfold. Drop the puck already 💪
On the terraces since I was a kid.

Dead last with a -100 goal diff and some of ya still talkin about "seeing something" 😅🙃 Carolina first up? That's gonna be ugly fam. Rebuild it is tbh, at least we get a top pick outta the pain... ah well, nowt to do 🔥

Honestly, I look at a 58-point team sitting 32nd and I don't see a season to save, I see a line to bet against. Carolina opening night is going to be a juice-fest, Vancouver probably sits +250 or worse there, and those moneylines have been poison for me before. Dropped C$150 chasing a longshot comeback in Jersey last year, never again 💸 If anything, the value might be on the puck line the other way in Carolina or New Jersey, taking the favourite -1.5. Five road games against that stretch of opponents, I'd be shocked if they even land two points on the whole swing. StandsGuy is right, tank's the plan, and I'm not paying inflated odds on a roster with a -100 goal diff to prove otherwise. Take the underdog moneyline only if the goalie matchup surprises me, otherwise my bankroll stays out of the fire 🔥
Value over a big price 💸

Five road games with this roster is just a 216-316 sequel with better production value 🤣 I'm watching for the memes, my season got saved in June already 😂

I was 12 when I watched us blow a lead in game 7 and cried, so trust me StandsGuy, tank talk ain't new 😭 but yeah might as well give the young guys the reps! LET'S GO CANUCKS 🏒🔥
You don't abandon your own.

Go easy on me, still new here 😅 but doesn't "saving" the season kind of need the season to be alive first? Thanks for the laughs, Rob 😊

Metric_Dan, you're asking what I keep wondering too 😅 maybe I'm wrong but how do 216-316 goals get "saved" by one road trip? Somebody explain 🙏

Barnburner_Fan nobody saves minus 100 goals bud, but watch demak young guys earn their spot 💪 losing is painful enough without pretending either 🤬🔥
Heart with the team, head on pause.

Honest question 😅 if we're tanking anyway, does winning even one in Carolina mess up the draft lottery odds? RobbedAgainSurvivor you still want the kids to steal games? 🤔

Seen a few "season-saving" road trips in my day, and every one of 'em ended the same way 😄 one steal in Carolina and suddenly everyone's a believer again. Ask me after five games.
