    Looks like  Podkolzin, was a Benning pick and not a Brackett pick. Another disappointment by this GM, but thanks to all the scouts who forced him to take Petey

      If Benning gets (dis)credit for picking Podkolzin, OJ and JV, neither of whom have their stories finished yet btw, then he also gets credit for EP40, Hughes, Boeser, Demko etc.

      @King Heffy Unfortunately a lot of friendly reasonable Americans are also the ones voting for Trump. Garbage electoral system.

      True, just like many reasonable Germans got brainwashed by Hitler.  Sad how some people just can't make the right decision no matter how obvious it is.

      I cannot believe how many people on here believe Donald Trump is the problem. It’s mind blowing.

  6. Squamfan

    The canucks might have some of most dumbest fans on the planet. Literally wanting Petey to act the way they want him to act. Saying he has to behave their way.

      I'm sure Petey will think about people's disappointment all the way home from Capilano Audi 

    3. Coconuts

      I mean, they didn't even equate the two. It's an article touching on both Bobby Orr, Elias, and how sometimes people are let down by their athletic heroes. There's a bit more written than I care to rehash, but it's an article touching on recent bits in the hockey world. You know, something that hockey media always does? 

       

      They aren't comparing Orr to Petey or vice versa, they're touching on both subjects and then wrapping it up with discussion of how heroes sometimes let people down at the end. And well, clearly there are people out there who feel let down by one or the other for varying reasons, so touching on such a thing isn't out of left field.

       

      Whether you feel people should be disappointed or not is on you, and whether they feel disappointed or not is their own thing separate of you. Them seeing something differently doesn't make them "dumb", that's simply your perception of them.

      Squam was ok with the Pietrangelo signing for 8.8, and even called the signing an indication of a "tax benefit".

      Meanwhile thinks the caphit for Schmidt is too high for the Canucks to take on, which is apparently the rumour. LOL.

    Does Benning know its Free agency? Every other team is adding defence meanwhile ours got extremely worse

      tt hasnt signed anywhere yet theres plenty of time to make deals im not worried just no selling our futures away 

  12. Squamfan

    i am scared Benning is going to trade Brock for average defence man because he is going to panic that we have no defence

    1. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      Have you ever said something positive about Benning at all? Benning constructed this current team, and you blast him for being Benning. He makes changes, and you blast him for being Benning. LOL. So biased.

      @Dazzle literally came in here to say the same thing.. this dude is always whining about Benning.

    3. Nucker 67

      Nucker 67

      well, to be fair, Benning has gutted this team so far, removing some likeable leaders and team mates. How does Hughes feel about Tanev leaving? Was Marky's leaving the reason why OEL backed out? The RD next season so far is Myers, Rafferty and Chatfield. Benning needs to do something and I'm also afraid he's going to panic to fill that #2RD spot. Not sure it'll be Boeser, but maybe Hoglander or Rathbone? Oh boy, guess we'll see.

    Just remembered the time Stecher biked from Richmond to Rogers arena for prospect camp because he did not have a car.

    1. Coconuts

      Coconuts

      He was a good soldier for us, it's gonna be sad to see him go

       

      But at the same time, that's just part of the business side of hockey

       

      At least he got to live out his childhood dream of playing for the Canucks

    Chris Johnston on Markstrom: I do believe as of right now, as of everything I have heard this is going to be a guy that tests free agency on Friday. (960)

      Marky won't be the same without Ian Clark. He reeled him in, settled him down and convinced him to not overplay, be more efficient, keep his crease.

       

      Marky without Clark will be regression IMO

    3. Tystick

      Even if we sign him, Seattle picks him up later next year anyway.

      Hey bro, I'm sure you have good intentions and love this team as much as anyone does.

       

      Behavior like this isn't healthy though. I recommend meditation every time you have negative thoughts towards our GM...

       

      Jump on the Benning bandwagon before it's too late and he's hoisting us the cup.

      It was just rumoured.  Besides, I've had plenty of minor injuries that kept me out of a game or two but were fine after a little rest.  I'm confident that this is no different.

    3. -DLC-

      -DLC-

      Groin injury impacts adduction/abduction more so than something like this.  I had a groin pull that ONLY bothered me when I got on/off my bike....the side to side stuff.

      I love that Demko got in and showed his stuff.  Was an important development for us.  Obviously consistency matters...but gaining experience also gives confidence that can  help with that.

      Good on Marky if he's enjoying himself...he damn well has earned it!
