  1. Some posters claim I am a Benning fan. I like a lot of his stuff, especially drafting and developing, which has dramatically changed this franchise for the better. That being said, I've been adamant that keeping WD and TG (and staff) is something that he should get his ass lit for. The worst part is that TG has a far more talented roster than WD ever did, and yet... TG (114-118) https://www.hockey-reference.com/coaches/greentr01c.html vs. WD (136-144) https://www.hockey-reference.com/coaches/desjawi99c.html :|
  2. Indeed. With this loss, our playoff chances drop dramatically, in spite of our last three games. It's a shame really. Coaching should have been switched because MTL and CAL did theirs.
  3. Underlying stats suggest Pearson is not much different than Virtanen. I was actually surprised by how ineffective he is. His GV/TK ratio is VERY similar to Virtanen's, and they're both streaky players.
  4. Well, clearly he made a good decision by not doing it. Nonis had his mistakes too - don't get me wrong. He should've re-signed Carter, who only made a million the year before. Dunno why they decided to move on from him. This was like the opposite of the Toffoli situation.
  5. I have been happy with Green when we won, even when we nearly lost last game. But this game was clearly a tale of two games, compared to the previous one. Oh boy... we should have include this as part of our drinking game for CDC.
  6. Nonis drafted Edler. Nonis drafted Cory Schneider --> Horvat through Gillis. Luongo trade? And what did Gillis do again? Really? Everyone makes excuses for his Stanley Cup run, which should be noted, of course. But we are talking about drafting and developing. After he left, the team was in a terrible position wise. So, no, it wasn't "all" Nonis' fault.
  7. I honestly do not understand why Pearson gets more time in than Virtanen. Pearson has shown NOTHING in this game worth his ice time. 16 minutes, with 3 minutes of PP, versus Virtanen's 14 minus and 1 minute PP.
  8. You're gonna have to thank Gillis for finding no replacement for him whatsoever, either through the draft, free agency or trade. Seriously horrendous if you were to trace back to the roots of the original problems of this team.
  9. I'll take that as a compliment, considering you've been given so many chances to explain the logic that Motte can be replaced by "a lot of players", and oh, he should be flipped for a high pick. Umm... What? No one is going to give a high pick for Motte, if he can be replaced by a lot of players. Wait... does that mean your statement was wrong then? Nah, I'm not expecting you'll see the errors of your judgements, nor admit it. So yes, a very odd poster because I'm not one of the posters that take things at face value and agree with you just because you said it.
  10. Demko wasn't even the first choice by Calgary. Mason MacDonald was selected before Demko, just a few picks before. Pick looks great.
  11. Unbelievable. Badly outshot nearly 2 to 1, and we only manage one shot on this PP. Coaches should never be extended. Not one of them.
  12. This was a game that was painfully obvious that the coach needed to talk to the team. No use of the timeout once again. Game looks out of reach.
  13. You were the one who questioned whether I worked in ELL. LOL. Honestly dude, this is beyond sad that you are such a hypocrite.
  14. Wait, are you sure you're not confusing Gillis? Jul 1/10 Signed Manny Malholtra Signed a 3 year/$7,500,000 contract with NTC clause. Jul 1/10 Signed Dan Hamhuis Signed a 6 year/$27,000,000 contract with NTC clause. Jun 27/11 Re-signed Kevin Bieksa Re-signed to a 5 year/$23,000,000 contract with a NTC. Jul 1/12 Signed Jason Garrison Signed to a 6-year/$27,600,000 deal with NTC Sep 14/12 Re-signed Alexandre Burrows Re-signed to a 4-year/$18,000,000 deal with NTC Jan 18/13 Re-signed Alex Edler Re-signed to a 6-year/$30,000,000 contract with a NTC Source: https://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2013/5/12/4323514/the-history-of-mike-gillis-tenure-with-the-canucks People forget that Hamhuis had a NTC.... he didn't waive it. Hamhuis later went to Dallas... Gillis gave a lot of NTCs. It's part of the business.
  15. I do hope you're not a teacher. Good god. If your rhetoric is any sampling to how you understand logic, you are not a good teacher. It's laughable how Motte can be replaced by "lots of players" (your words), but still have this high value in a trade. Lmfao. Basic reasoning skills you lack. Please stay out of the education field. Think about the children! Critical thinking doesn't mean you are critical about someone that you are constantly thinking of. Hope that helps.
  16. So I think we can put to rest that fights spark a team. This is uninspiring hockey. Lack of focus and obviously, Montreal adjusted this game.
  17. Canucks are killing their own PP. Really poor passing. Nonexistent transition game.
  18. What he wrote doesn't have anything to do with English not being his native language. He clearly grasps English words very well; however, he has multiple grammatical mistakes that are just blatant. I'm not surprised you're defending your sheep who thinks Benning is bad, because he's bad. Hope this helps
  19. You do realize I haven't mentioned his name in a while, right? I deliberately didn't name drop him because I knew you'd read it
  20. "to much of a simpleton"? Your whole post lacks proper grammar, and you're calling someone a simpleton? Yeesh. I bring up grammar as a part of coherence. If you're not even taking the time to think about how you construct a sentence, you're probably not taking the time to think about what you post either. Then again, some posters type fine and still make irrational conclusions. Never mind..
  21. Nobody cares who you are either. The only thing you're remembered for is making bad takes because of your obsession of criticizing Benning at all costs, even if the argument doesn't make sense. You said, and I'm paraphrasing here because I'm too lazy to back to page 6, "Because there are dumb GMs" is not a very helpful way of understanding something. Your argument that Tyler Motte should be flipped for a high pick, yet in your words there are "lots of players" like Motte is illogical. Hope that helps, but I know it doesn't.
  22. It is a hit to the head. I just think it's not suspension worthy because there is a change in height, and the guy was already committed to the hit. I guess it's a moot point at this point though.
