  1. It’s frustrating watching this country club atmosphere team come out and show no hunger. Where is their inner drive to put teams away or show up after giving up a 2-0 lead for the second game in a row. You aren’t close to a playoff position. These wins have somehow tricked them into thinking they don’t needs every point they can get.
  2. Just terrible passes. Almost every game it’s the same thing. They talk about it after every post game and then come out and do it again. No intensity at all this game from the team.
  3. How blind is that ref by the front of the net? The referee at center ice had to call that. Pathetic.
  4. I have a bad feeling about the Montreal games with the roster we are icing. Ya it’s ok against a team like Ottawa but I can see it getting exposed very easily vs Montreal.
  5. You could also say that Benning takes way to long to make decisions which risks players getting injured.
  6. Common theme this year by letting up after scoring the first two goals. They still have lack the ability to be able to put teams away. Especially a team like the Ottawa senators. If they lose this it’s just supports the fact this team isn’t good enough yet.
  7. I rephrased my statement. You can go back and read it. I am still not sure what your getting at?
  8. I think we were talking about two different things so its not really relevant. I was talking about Pearson's next contract. You seem to really love Virtanen so your offended. Virtanen has a contract already so I don't understand what your argument is. You don't like that I am saying I think Virtanen is inconsistent and doesn't always try his best. Virtanen's stats haven't been great this year.
  9. He has a stanley cup. He is a veteran and has proved a lot in his career. A lot different than the Virtanen situation. Not even close really. I think he has a lot of leverage even with this off year.
  10. Sounds good to me. I know most people on here think the fans are toxic and wonder why more fans aren't being more supportive, I think it's because fans are smart and know that this team isn't good enough. A lot of these wins have come on the back of Demko. It would be foolish to think we are doing wonderfully. Another thing is that there are bovious holes in the lineup. The bottom six is still not doing much and they are giving up a lot of goals at the same time. Veterans who are supposed to be able not make crucial mistakes at crucial times in the game. I am just worried that this stretch will make the gm and owners think we are better than we are. The owners comment tonight on how he didn't understand why things started the way they did but they weren't good tonight. I just don't think they are very honest with themselves. That's what worries me most. They go after players when they shouldn't and make trades when they shouldn't. Yes it is toxic when a gm has had 7 years and wants two more. We have been patient. 51 years patient. This kind of stuff and also the fact the owner makes dumb tweets that don't make sense.
  11. I like that the canucks have won 5 of 6 games but everyone has to remember where we are in the standings. They are still pretty far back. So many teams have games in hand and we are still behind in points after all these wins. I really think they need to try to make trades before the deadline to get assets back. If they win enough to get back into the playoffs then that's great but we all have to be realistic that the playoffs are still a longshot.
  12. He has had a stanley cup and had a pretty good year last year. He's making 4 million now. He will want the max he can get. I think he will want 4 million. Even 3.5 is a lot for multiple years. His play will likely decline here on out.
  13. So you want to sign Pearson? He will want around 4 million a year. Is that something that is a good thing for this team?
  14. We can't bring him back. It would be another contract that will haunt us long term which likely means Benning will sign him. lol.
  15. OMG, really! He only comes out and only tweets during wins. It was a horrible win at that. The way they played tonight is exactly why they were so dismal at the start. Demko is the reason they are in most games. What is wrong with our owner? He has to be honest with himself and know that this team isn't good enough. He can't be impressed with that win can he. He's bragging after the team gave scoring chance after scoring chance to the worst team. It leaves me shaking my head.
  16. Who is leading this organization? No one. It just feels like a blah season in so many ways.
  17. I repeat 3 goals, no assists in 26 games. This is a show me business. It's not what you did the last few years. Ever since he has come into the league he has been known as someone who doesn't give it his all. He goes missing for long stretches. You can bring up last years stats but as I said it still came with inconsistency. This year it's been worse. That is why I am bringing it up. His lack of motivation and consistency has caught up with him this year and his stats are the result.
  18. Yes but if you are an everyday player who is sometimes on the top two lines you have to produce more than 3 goals on the whole year at this point. He isn't a rookie anymore. There are other young players I think that should get a chance at this point if that is all he can produce.
