Some of Benning's more "suspect" personnel decisions had big games today. Sutter, Beagle, Roussel were all stellar

@-AJ- I thought Loui was good too. Myers takes dumb penalties, has the occasional bad turnover, but he adds bite that we sorely need on our roster imo

Travis Yost (Hockey Analytics guy) made headlines today by putting Elias Pettersson as 3rd on his Hart Vote Ballot. What has ensued was a "battle" on twitter about who was the Canucks most valuable player this past year, Marky or Elias? All this talk has me personally flaberghasted as I think Quinn Hughes is without a doubt our MVP and best player.

my vote is miller
marky missed too many key games
(not his fault, i agree)
but miller played every game
and had to adjust to a new team.. which he did seamlessly.. mostly because he played his game and others adjusted to him
and i really really like ep.. .but miller did have to take so may face offs (which he did at an elite level) as petey is still lacking in that area
ep40 needed him more then the reverse

So Yoko Ono and Bryan Adams are both trending. Adams sent out a unprofessional tweet about Covid that isn't racist (yet people are assuming it is), and a large contingent of twitter are cancelling him. At the same damn time, people are praising Yoko Ono despite the fact that she used the N word in her music, was an adulter, and drove John Lennon into addiction.
Seriously? People are wild.

@Squamfan you can criticize the practices of different cultures without it being necessarily racist. People that are offended often conflate the two.

From a young age John was a tortured insecure lost man who was manipulated by Yoko when he became famous
Not long after they met, Yoko repeatedly used to stalk the gate outside John’s and Cynthia’s Kenwood estate, before eventually being invited in from the rain out of pity by Cynthia and her mother
Just after Johns murder, Yoko sent Julian a cheque for $1 (which he framed)
He since sued her and got a settlement (Most likely not to bad mouth Yoko to keep receiving)
John Lennon said in his very last radio interview (just hours before he was shot and killed) that like most young men he was more involved with his career than with his child, and he said he regretted not spending enough time with Julian. He also said that he and Julian would have a relationship in the future but sadly they both were deprived of this.
I never lived his life and would not judge him myself
As far as him not being a nice person ?,
You are talking about what John was like when he was a psychologically messed up 21 year old guy, not the pro-feminist, nurturing house husband and father he remarkably became and walked away from the drugs and the music industry to "Watching the Wheels"
John was a man of peace...grown from a boy of violence...he grew and changed and he wanted to see the world do the same
I think he brought a lot of joy to Millions of people , (just in his music alone), far more than most men have (and continues too) than he ever hurt in his life
How many people that judge him, can say they have reached that many people positively?
No-one is a saint, in death or in life and should refrain from judging someone else, especially if they were not affected - it is not like he was a murderer, he was murdered and used his powerful influence for World Peace, Women being a pro feminist, before it was popular and Minority Rights
I don’t believe John Lennon was some saint, some perfect role model, or the embodiment of peace and love. I believe he was a human with a good heart, but not without his flaws. In his words, he was a “violent man who [had] learned not to be violent”. He had the capacity to recognize and regret his flaws, and change for the better. He wasn’t a “bad” person, or a “good” person - nobody is. It’s far more nuanced than that. His path of change does not erase his violent past with his father etc, but it is still commendable. In my eyes, his reflection on his younger self’s behavior, along with his progress away from that redeems his character. I believe that if he wasn’t killed, he would have continued to prove himself to be a better person.
You might want to see where someone came from, how he rallied for causes, how he changed his life from what he knew as only a child to who he was as he died
With all that John went through and the pressures and how he transformed himself
He changed for the better,
Why slander his name
I for one am glad there was a John Lennon
.
That is my opinion on speaking ill of this dead man,
Keep yours if you will
