    Benning's plan

    Lol...are you really going to use that ludicrous argument? Obviously those stats on Tanev were before last season as Tanev never missed time last season. So those stats are before the team had Huggy, Myers and Miller. To top it off we have replaced Tanev with Schmidt
  2. So out of the 3 GMs in the cap era Jim Benning is the best. Both Ken and Lou did their best work pre cap.
  3. I fully agree. I probably used the wrong word. If I was referring to teachers I would have called them teachers.
  4. I was just reading that the Toronto District School Board’s are missing 5500 students from last year causing their funding to be cut by 42 million. They are funded per student the same as BC. It makes me wonder if that’s the real reason why educators are pushing to have kids in class.
  5. I agree that class time is needed but under the circumstances it should be less in order to cut the numbers in class at one time. As a side note...is home school hurting children because of lack of class time?
  6. Not to mention schools. 1 shutdown already and I hate to agree with Kos but more will follow.
  7. Sleeping...in fact it is time for a nap now.
  8. I’m not the least surprised JB did not re-sign Leivo. Leivo was given more chances than Jake to earn his spot on the team and never made much of an impact. The real telling thing was how little we missed him after he was injured. On a side note some over at CP have him penciled for their top six. Not to mention one poster saying he liked the signing because it made the Canucks weaker. Lol.
  9. Brad is trying to change their losing culture by bringing in Canucks.
  10. US was over 80,000 cases yesterday and well on the way to that today.
  11. No one ever said that hockey players were smart. Jake has been improving every year. As long as he keeps improving he is a bargain at this cap hit.

    I say it is time to run with the youngsters and see what we have. I think we will be pleasantly surprised.
  13. How has Calgary gotten better? Edmonton maybe slightly. Calgary lost 2 top 4 D and only got Tanev in return. Marky is a slight upgrade in net but it’s not like their goaltending was terrible last year. Their fans and press liked to blame the losses on goaltending but often they were hung out to dry. Gio is another year older and was showing decline last season. Tanev will not fill the minutes lost from Brodie and Hamonic and Gio already plays more than he should. Most of their forwards are still the same. At the most optimistic Calgary has stayed the same. They should be starting to look at a rebuild.
  14. I hear a hike down east Hastings is a challenge.
  15. Played some senior body contact hockey followed by a few years of beer league. Was a lot like Tanev (teeth were gone at sixteen four years before I started playing hockey) as I played D and my strength was shut down with a muffin shot. I had a bit of Motte as well, tenaciously never giving up but alas it was too late.
  16. Like I said... some just can’t help but suck.
  17. Here we go again...I said “some”...you know it’s similar to “nearly”.
  18. Just remember that 50% are below average and 70% are idiots. They try hard but some just can’t help but suck.
  19. That explains why a bunch would drive out from Saskatchewan to Vancouver to protest wearing masks.
