  1. Benning's signed 13 players in 10 days. Love him or hate him, the guy is trying!
  2. I hope Ferland and his style of play encourage Jake to get back to hitting more. Johansson ended up in the hospital with a bruised lung after this hit.... and while you don't wanna ever see anyone get seriously hurt, a few guys that can throw down like that on your team and you'll be pushing guys back without saying a word.
  3. Markstrom will have a Vezina caliber year. You heard it here first. I'm almost more concerned about the team extending Ian Clark than I am about Boeser.
  4. Miller, Virtanen, Ferland, Roussel, Myers, Benn.... it's starting to feel like 2011 again. Piss and Vinegar man.
  5. Great game Great team Great goal, by one of my all time fave Canucks. It's coming together now!
  6. He's played over 70 games in each of his 4 full seasons.
  7. I like this way more than the Myers signing. Benn is a meat and potatoes dude. Also helps he hasn't been crowned the savior of this Dfence like Myers has. Benning needs to add another top 6ish piece. Don't hide behind Cap Recapture, COWARD
  8. Pearson's nowhere near my right? Never met the guy nor has he ever been that close to me.
  9. You can imagine the hosing GM's are thinking of pulling off after Benning gave up a 1st+ to a cap strapped team for a player Tampa needed rid of.
  10. "a few"? 6 players make up 25% of the team dude. 6 players who eat up $20+ Million a year. The only guy I consider neither here nor there is Pearson, because it remains to be seen whether he'll fit in here or not. (and I alluded to as much) Too many "middling" players on this team making too much money. While the additions of Miller, Myers, and Benn will definitely help, our top 6 is still in need of another true top winger to play with Horvat. Or even 2 .... because you don't have to look far into the future to understand that neither Leivo nor Pearson are top 6 players on a playoff team. They are 3rd line players in that situation. No better time to fix the future than the present, I say.
  11. This team is a total mess. Benning has A LOT of work to do to fix that - if he even can. Baertschi : at 26 he still needs a fire lit under his ass before he plays 4 or 5 good games in a row. is one concussion away from death. Sutter : "foundational player" who was brought in to be a reliable 2-way shut down guy, but is -30 since arriving, and you forget he's even on your team because he's in the hospital more than the doctors that work there. Beagle : is a 33 years old Sutter clone. Overpaid "glue guy" that really doesn't do anything, other than exist. Eriksson : scores an own goal on his first day. (HELLO!) Another guy that's kind of "just there" Granlund : was on the cusp of becoming a 20 goal scorer before being turned into another useless "200 foot" useless robot. I hope he gets a new start somewhere and does well. Pearson : needs to become the 40+ point player he was in LA or say goodnight. Spooner : already gone Hutton : already gone Poopalot : already gone. That's 6 guys that still need to have their asses peeled off this lineup and replaced. JT Miller was a good add, but we have huge holes all through the lineup still, and I'm not even going to get into the Defence. I don't envy Benning's job, tell ya that much.
  12. Just imagine it's the Smith-backed Flames playing the Oilers, with Eriksson making his debut....
  13. At 5'10" and 200 lbs, Biega's a wrecking ball. He goes all-out every.single.shift. Makes a whopping $600K Probably the smartest guy (the most studious for sure) on the team Great in the room. He's exactly the guy you want as your #6 or extra.
