  1. I really donn't want to hear the excuse that Pettersson and Pearson are out so that's why we are having trouble scoring. Pearson has not had a good year and he has rarely scored. Other than Pettersson, I think this just goes to show we don't have any depth. It is all on Benning. I really believe they will milk the excuse. Ya but Pettersson is out. There is no reason for the offense going this dry. They should be able to maintain a good scoring pace. It just shows how much more we need. I just have a feeling Benning has these excuses in his back pocket.
  2. The biggest problem with Virtanen is that he is always given opportunities amd does nothing with them. He doesn't only not do anything with them, he looks like he could care less. He is out there for a Sunday skate most of the time. He will have the odd game and then go silent for 10 or 13 games. It's not worth it to have a player that lacks desire.
  3. We match up so horribly versus Winnipeg. We always struggle to score. I really hate playing them.
  4. I think the reality is that the Canucks need to win almost all of their games to keep up. They went on that long winning streak and how far did they actually jump up, not much. The biggest problem they has was that long losing streak. It’s come back to bite then and every loss is so big. It’s almost impossible for them to make it. Playing every game like it’s a playoff game is going to be mentally taxing. How far do you expect them to go if they make it after playing all these playoff type games?
  5. Why does he have this leash? It makes no sense. The worst part is that there seems to be no ending to it. He will just continue to be here. Until he is gone it's going to be hard to see real change and where smart moves will be made.
  6. Yes but there is way more to being a gm than just drafting well. 7 years and you mentioned a couple of moves. That's not great for a gm with that many years. Make him a top pro scout then.
  7. I wonder if it was from that hard hit he took in Montreal last game. I am assuming it is.
  8. Yet there is this drive to keep him around. It all comes down to the fact that he does what the owners want and is unwilling or cant stand up to them. It's not a good way to manage a team or to create a winning organization. Yet he we are.
  9. I think fans are going to go crazy when Benning does nothing at the deadline. What can he actually do? Same old story from him. We don't really have a lot of players that other teams want either. It's a disappointing season all around.
  10. You also have to be realistic and understand that we will be a lot further down the standings, so that will be depressing watching them fall further down and not being able to do anything about it.
  11. People hoping for a personality change with Benning are going to be disappointed. He always gets overwhelmed and looks scared when he faces the media after deadline deals. I really wish we had a GM who was commanding and forward and was a great leader for this organization. It's weird to have an organization where you aren't sure which direction they are going. Benning loves to keep fans guessing in terms of the direction of this team.
  12. Exactly, everyone wants to come out and use it as an excuse. What is the excuse when they had all of them? DEPTH is the issue. It always has been with Benning here.
  13. People are going to say injuries are what's costing us but let's be realistic when we had all four centers we still sucked. So I hate hearing how people are using injuries as an excuse. The truth is Benning never gave this team enough depth.
  14. So why don't they put someone young in? What do they have to lose? He is making horrible defensive mistakes as well so its not like he is there as a defensive forward.
  15. Buddy every year they say that injuries cost them. Well go get more depth if that is your issue. Frustrating to hear that excuse every year.
  16. Biggest thing this season will teach the team is to not take games for granted and that every game is important. They were too comfortable in the beginning and it cost them. They figured they could make up their bad start. It was just a bad attitude. Hopefully they come out strong next season from the beginning of the year.
  17. These injuries will force them to be sellers at the deadline. It may be a good thing.
  18. Well when they did have them they still had a losing record so please don't fall back on that excuse.
  19. That excuse has been used 6 of 7 years with Benning. He can now use it again. YAY!
