I wonder if Benning will end up moving Benn. Doesn’t seem to be working out for him here 

I don’t think Benn has been terrible but he is that marginal 6/7 guy 

 

if we get Tram or bring up up 1 high potential d man (Rafferty) then Benn is expendable 

 

we also have Fanta back at some point 

 

I would rather see JB move OJ for some useable asset

I really thought Benn had more snarl to his game, especially with a beard like that. 

Fantenberg is our 6th Dman, Stech and Benn are our 7th and there are numerous prospects who could easily replace them moving forward.

Win or lose, this would be a great game for the Canucks to go into the trenches.

 

Play with an edge.

 

Actually take it to the Bruins instead of playing with a tail between the legs waiting for someone to "push back".

 

Push first for once.

I look at our "Ring of Honor" and I see why this culture exists. Thomas Gradin? Matthias Ohlund? Burrows yes, but we need to honor those that gave everything when they were Canucks. Gino taking on the entire team of St. Louis? Kessler going "Beast Mode"? Hansen playing like a "Honey Badger" every night? Skill is great but we cannot forget a "heart of a Lion" might just take us to that next step...…. to a championship.

are you actually saying Thomas gradin and ohlund didn't give everything they had out on the ice?   Thomas gradin any player that played back then was tough , he played with smyl and fraser ., he gave it everything even in the playoffs . ohlund  played with practically with one eye, and laid out some of the biggest hits ever , I would say that he gave everything

Perhaps the West Coast Culture takes over.

I remember Smyl playing with heart as well as Tiger Williams. Same can be said for Jovo Cop. But there are others who had there moments but I wouldn't put those labels on them. Some guys just hate to lose no matter what and it shows EVERY MINUTE THEY ARE ON THE ICE.

Hopefully some spine shows up tonight.

Rather keep him and have some depth for the playoffs.someone you can bring in for a game and crack skulls.

Yet to see that.

Tough game, tough oponent....time to get nasty and win it by grit and skill.... 3-2 nucks, Miller, Petey Bo with the goals

The Bruins are absolutely going to target our top guys.  They will have their lesser players taking runs at Petey and Hughes all game.  We should start the game with our guys (Jake and Bo) who are heavy and can really skate target the Bruins top guys: Bergeron and Pastrnak.  If we are coached to play passively again tonight, Green should get the axe.

Playing not to lose seems to be their mo lately.  Early in the season, they were setting the pace and tone.

And if they do and no canuck  shows spine, i guarantee you JB will trade for some ...he not gonna allow that esp with picking up tyler and how bad he wants the canucks to succeed in the playoffs

I would love to see Bergeron, Panzerknacker and Marchand just get levelled by Virtanen or Bo. I know Miller will be good for a solid hit or two. 
 

How the Canucks come out tonight should be indicative of how the rest of the season plays out. If they come out flat, and think that they can play catch up, they deserve to lose. 
 

Come out fighting and take it to those scumbags.
