Simple Jim has had seven years. Next!

I am legitimately asking you right now if you posted this sarcastically or because you think I may enjoy it.

You mention in that post something to the effect of “in this weirdest of seasons people are calling for heads” as if they shouldn’t be. The only thing I can see that makes this year the way this year is is the pandemic. That’s what I am saying. Jim Benning’s is a called for head. His head is being called for because of seven years of largely failing. It’s not enough that there is a pandemic in year 7 of a bad regime to say the regime hasn’t had a fair go. Jim Benning is the pandemic.

I’m new here. Can I not say Jesus Christ?

No no, you’re right, it’s the pandemic that made Jim Benning ice one of the least successful teams in the nhl over 7 years. Jesus Christ.

Pandemic ownership has been a lot different than normal times. I can’t lay claim to any ownership frugality prior to covid-19.

It seems that Supreme Leader Benning is allergic to cap space. That or someone has tricked him into believing you aren’t allowed to have any excess.

Fair enough. Having followed those stories and not seeing anyone refute the claims leads me to believe those accounts were not mistaken in what Dhaliwal and Paterson said.

I was replying to someone who used the Canucks having as little cap room as they do to suggest Frankie Blueberries is currently free with his wallet. The cap hit doesn’t represent the actual money spent, aka the part the Tommy Trust-fund actually cares about.

Are Jeff Paterson and Rick Dhaliwal not good enough sources to cite?

Are you aware of the significant discrepancy in cap hits and dollars actually spent this season? The Canucks are behind 20 clubs this season in terms of actual money being spent. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/canucks-real-dollars-salary-expenditure-has-team-21st-in-nhl/wcm/553e42ea-ea30-482a-96c8-68bedfa845d6/amp/

I figured it out using the internet so I won’t spoil it

Anyone had those little chicken and cilantro wontons from Costco? Just pan fried I think they’re outstanding.

I made a note on my phone with this post

I have read this like 4 times now and I think that you may actually believe Jake Virtanen is a top line player.

Absolutely. I won’t ever argue against the Canucks being well positioned specifically in the “who are your top f d g?” rankings moving forward.

They aren’t even particularly young.

Forgive my nitpick but chicago won a cup in between the kings’ victories

Do those models factor in that they’re about to play the remaining 15 games in only three and a half weeks?

Is Zadorov really out of favour, or buried behind depth? Otherwise, like why would they want Genius Jake? This is not an era where we can hide how much of a useless player he is.

Toronto fans think Hughson dislikes them, and is a huge Canucks homer.

Maybe not, but you can teach 69.

This actually sounds plausible. Well done, I think.
