  1. I'm sure Benning is a very nice man, but I have great disdain for him as a GM. FA needs to stop meddling and demanding playoffs every year just so he can get more ticket revenue, if anything if we had been more patient we would be a consistent playoff team right now.
  2. To be fair to Travis it's hard to win with a terrible blueline. I pin this mostly on Benning.
  3. I'd like to see Miller leveraged for a younger defenceman.
  4. Benning didn't even want to draft Pettersson......it was a Judd Bracket pick. The Miller trade was good but we shouldn't have been targeting him at that point as we weren't ready to contend. Being a good GM means making more good decisions than bad and Benning has made far more bad decisions than good.
  5. I put far more blame on Benning than Green. I don't like everything about Green but it's hard to win with a bad blueline and stars that aren't producing. Benning hampered this team with bad contracts, bad trades, top 10 draft mistakes (Virtanen and Juolevi), horrible pro scouting, trading away draft picks and not trading for picks.
  6. This team can be turned around just not with Benning. He should be fired immediately, why should he get anymore opportunities after coming up on 8 years? Gillis was fired less than 3 years after making the cup final (not saying it was completely unjustified) shouldn't Benning be held to the same standard?
  7. I guess I'll have a little more freetime in my busy schedule now that I don't have to watch the Canucks play.
  8. At least we'll save on heating costs with this tire fire.
  9. It's very difficult to keep supporting this team year after year with Benning in charge. He's been running this team for over 7.5 years (longer than Gillis) with very little success other than the bubble year. It's especially hard to support them when you're very busy and have to watch a partial replay most games just for them to give a poor effort and lose. This team should be contending for a cup right now not a wild card.
  10. Doesn't really matter you gotta kill them off. We used to be an awesome PK and PP team. I'm tired of hearing excuses.
  11. Vegas had a couple weak calls against them too difference is they can kill off the penalties and score despite dealing with some big injuries.
  12. Instead of Travis complaining about penalty calls maybe he should work on having us be able to actually kill them off.
  13. Well Bo said they we're embarrassed after last game.......good news boys it looks like you got another game to be embarrassed about.
  14. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  15. PK is awful.....but good news the PP is.....just as bad.
  16. Benning is the living embodiment of "Fake it until you make it" regardless of how things go this season it has to be his last year as GM here.
  17. I never have. I thought Gilman should have taken over instead of this bafoon.
