Ok...who's for the goal song to be:
"Bruce, there it is!"
LMFAO. That's awesome.
I didn't watch tonight's game as I was contemplating hanging up my fandom for awhile, but that chant right there may have sold me on sticking around.

1. Because at the end of the day, owners need fans to pay the bills.
2. You really don’t think the team looked different tonight? Benning was fired yesterday. Stands to reason he “built the team”. What he also did was re-up the coaching staff you say was the problem and refused to fire them when it was clearly shown that they were.
You and your BENNING BUILT THIS TEAM sign is just as stupid as a banner to FIRE BENNING. He built the team but couldn’t get anything out of it because of bad cap management, sketchy pro scouting overall, and loyalty to quite possibly the worst overall coach in Canucks history. And honestly after 8 years his time was up.
He has one flaw…..lol sure he does.
1) I agree with you on this and so..........???
2) I clearly and openly stated that this team looked pleasantly different tonight. All I did was point out that this likely has to do with coaching........and that Benning's biggest flaw here was that he was too loyal to Green.
I'll also give you 'sketchy pro scouting.' Benning took a lot of calculated gambles in his pro scouting and failed on a lot of them in many respects.

On a game related positive note......
God damn I love Boudreau!
That's a world class kick ass coach right there.
I personally would have gone with Claude Julien but I'm really glad that we didn't.

Overall I like some of the things Benning did but it was time and the fact that Aquilini could pick a better head coach than he could says a lot.
Was Boudreau available in 2017? (when Benning hired Green).
I agree with you that it was time for Benning to go. Things were getting toxic and ownership needed to make a decision to appease the rising toxicity amongst the fans.
I also agree that Benning's biggest mistake was that he was too loyal to Green.

Sure but that’s not HIS COACH.
he hired resigned his guy. his guy failed
I’m sure we’ll all remember his team when we are once a gain capped out and can’t resign players.
He couldn’t get the job done he paid 5.5 million to a coach that lasted 3 months he deserved to be fired and to say he did a good job is just as laughable
he had 8 years countless mulligans on failures and misses.
pretty tough to not assemble some pieces after 8 SEASONS.
I’m over it, Benning lovers can continue to pump him and blame Gillis ect And continue to love the loser excuses.
bennings gone and I couldn’t be happier.
Good bye and good riddance.
He was an average gm best.
Who's blaming Gillis?
After the Canucks lost to the Kings in 2012, Gillis went up to ownership with a plan to do a scorched earth rebuild in which we'd trade our top players, at their peaks, for very elite prospects. Aqua's told Gillis to 'F off' unfortunately.
When Benning took over the team in 2014, the values of our top players had greatly diminished. Gillis wasn't the one to blame at all (although even you must admit that Gillis' drafting was off the charts terrible). Ownership was.

Go right ahead.. it's a team that took 8 years to build and your best hope is it can claw back to .500? You're right. BENNING BUILT THIS TEAM. Lol
1) Look at all of the top teams in the league and how many years they experienced growing pains.
2) This 8 years narrative is Thomas Drance drivel/nonsense.
2015: 1st round
2016: DNQ
2017: DNQ
2018: DNQ
2019: DNQ
2020: 2nd round
2021: DNQ
2022: ???
Did we rebuilt this team in record time? Absolutely not. But again - do some homework kid. Florida, Carolina, Colorado, Edmonton, Toronto, Calgary, etc., etc. Show me a team that didn't go through years upon years of growing pains. Maybe the Penguins? The Bruins, to their credit, usually qualified for the playoffs during their growing pains but they always lost in the 1st round.
Get your facts straight.
Friends don't let friends be brainwashed my dickheads like Thomas Drance.

The coach was also a big part of the team he built. And unfortunately that part was a cancer. He wouldn’t let go. Time to move on. From my vantage point no one is talking about benning but you…
Benning is that you?
In 2 years Benning who?
We both agree that Benning was too loyal to Green.
No argument from me there.

If that was his only fault he'd still have a job.
No.
1) If toxicity grows amongst the fanbase, ownership has to make changes. Ownership did the right thing by putting out the burgeoning #FireBenning storm.
2) The team was expected to compete this year and as we all can see, it didn't happen. My hypothesis is that Benning built a solid team this season but coaching was hurting this team. Tonight is just one game against a mediocre Kings team, but as the anti-Benning crowd on here point out, "the team looked different." Unfortunately for the anti-Benning crew, "the team looking different" isn't an argument that strengthens their side...........it strengthens *our* side. Like I said - if the Canucks manage to claw back to .500 or so within the next 5-6 weeks and/or go on a winning streak, I'm coming down to Rogers arena with my sign. BENNING BUILT THIS TEAM.

Honestly, Benning not only built the team, he built the culture of excuse making and apathy to losing. Good riddance.
Not butthurt at all.
I'm just laughing at the 'anti Benning' crew for pointing out how 'different' the Canucks looked tonight to spite Benning.
New coach with a new system? Players being used in different roles?
If the Canucks go on a winning streak and manage to claw back to .500, you'll see me in the front row with a sign that says,
BENNING BUILT THIS TEAM.

Good gosh you know how to kill a vibe don't you.
Just accept what's been done now and move the hell on.
Why don't you just enjoy the moment and the fact this team looked a lot better tonight in multiple facets where they have looked awful this season.
This negativity and toxicity is part of what makes this market unbearable.
There's nothing negative about it. The Canucks looked solid tonight and deserved the W.
I'm just pointing out to the "idiots" that are cheering the win tonight to spite Benning, that this team was 100% built by Benning and that Benning's only apparent fault (built on this one game sample size) is that he was too loyal to Green.
HF Canucks are already trying to spin this as, "the players weren't giving a full effort up until tonight's game because they had lost faith in management"......but again, would that be a poor reflection on Benning or a poor reflection on the players?

Too bad Benning didn’t pull his head out of his ass and hire bruce to start the season. Benning may still be here.
benning still made a hell of alot of mistakes
We can agree that a major mistake that Benning made was not replacing Green much sooner.

Hilarious how the anti-Benning guys are cheering the win tonight citing how "different" the team looked tonight, without considering the fact that
1) Benning built this team
2) It's only one game
3) If the Canucks do in fact end up looking much better due to the coaching change, it's still a team that Benning built..........and Benning's only apparent fault was that he was too loyal to Green.

Careful, it's a long way down from that pedestal.
HA! The ironing is delicious.
ps - the new Chapter of Canuckdom awaits. I’ll be cheering from afar in this new era as I promised myself in 2011 that I’d wait to leave before all players from that team had moved on before making a decision, but I liked what I saw from this summer with the Garland/OEL trade and so I figured I’d stay on for a bit even though Edler was leaving. It is fitting that my tenure (for now) ends on the day that Benning and Green got gassed seeing as how I’ve been a huge Benning supporter and advocate from Day One.Cheers all.

Would Hamonic or Schenn play left side now?
OEL, Myers
Hughes, Hamonic/Schenn
Hamonic/Schenn, Poolman
Something like that now?
Schenn or Burroughs would play left.

Penguins 3
Canucks 4
Pittsburgh is better than us but I think the Canucks take this one 4-3. Canucks have some momentum going and are trying to save their season and so I think they will be the hungrier of the two teams.Hoglander = GWG

While our skaters are struggling to gain their stride, enormous pressures have shifted onto our Goalies, and while Demko has certainly done his part to win & steal some games for us, he can't do it all by himself. That is why Halak was brought in here - to provide some down-time and relief for Demko - yet he has failed to win a single game this year after playing in 6 games (5 of which starts).
Q: If we can't depend on Halak to at least win a few games, shouldn't Jim B recognize this and TERMINATE Halak and Replace him with a proper BU goalie immediately?
I watched the Boston game (Halak’s last outing) and he was fine. The team in front needs to step up and it looks like they are starting to do that. If the Canucks beat the Pens tomorrow, we can start to realistically think about a miraculous push for the playoffs.

Nice to see a lot of Canuck fans in Ottawa jumping up and down cheering for the Canucks, they are more positive than the bandwagon sprained ankles jumpers in B.C. The best sign was "Extend Benning".
Some fans and media in Vancouver honestly don’t deserve to be fans of this team.

Great game but Boeser with zero points is a concern to me. Petey only had one.

That one time when the Senators and Canucks had made a trade prior to the game.
Your post brings back memories of the Odjick/Strudwick trade for me. I think they got traded at or slightly before game day when both the Canucks and Islanders played each other at GM place. Odjick and Strudwick fought as members of their new teams, and the fans cheered Odjick. 17 year old me did the same.

3 to 1 Sens. Possible 4 to 1 empty netter. We have no answer for Tkachuk and he will slice through our team.
I'll have to agree with this unfortunately based on what I've seen this season so far.
Let's hope we are wrong.

Wasn't it Hirsch that started the the locker room thing?
Hirsch speculated that something might be going on in the locker room which then prompted Drance to run with it and fabricate the Miller-Horvat lord of the flies crap.

No they won’t. Honestly, this is a despicable statement to make with no actual basis in fact about Drance or anyone else to back it up.
1) He made up the lockerroom rift rumors between Miller and Horvat.
2) A few years back, he completely fabricated a story that Benning wanted Cody Glass over Pettersson at the 2017 draft.

I’ll be the guy to say it:
I wonder if Slava Voynov is still as good as he was back in 2015?

There is no easy wins.
This is the Canucks we're talking about.....
Agreed but the Canucks can use this to their advantage. They won’t have that “holier than thou” vibe to them like when they faced the Red Wings and Sabres earlier this year.

[PGT] Los Angeles Kings at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 06, 2021

He sure shazzam........he sure did. Lord knows where this team would be if Boudreau had started off coaching this team this season......or even last season for that matter when we had Nate Schmidt.
