  1. Our power play still missed his offensive ability until Benning drafted Hughes. But the Sabres offered him much, much more than what Loui Eriksson is being paid (funded his retirement fund lol).
  2. He’s one of our better defensive forwards by default as the alternatives are guys who are just bad at that assignment (Gaudette) or past their prime. Been like this thru much of his career here. No different when Linden throughout his whole hockey career was a winger until shifted to center by the Canucks because the depth there was nonexistent. We need significant improvement in the bottom six for us to move forward.
  3. Doesn’t he get enough of the **** detail as it is? (eg., tough defensive assignments).
  4. If I’m not mistaken, that lady got some real serious burns from that coffee. It was way too hot.
  5. I don’t see Green’s job on the line as it then put the target directly on Benning’s back (the guy who would decide on firing as well as the guy who hired him & Willie). At least not yet. It’s Benning’s last resort/card to play. Rarely do NHL GM’s get to hire & fire two head coaches; at least not with some real track record of decent team performance on the ice.
  6. When Markstrom playing that well, I don't see how you can fault the Canucks (and that includes the coach) tonight. Just didn't the breaks. It happens. Marky was doing this for us in previous years.
  7. My sympathy for the Mods. Not a fun "job" during tough times like this. But hey, as Canucksfans unfortunately you get used to it.
  8. Yeah especially since I lost by body double (Alf).
  9. Owners are greedy @#%#$@%. And frankly, I can't blame them. Relocated team = zero dollars expansion fees. New team = $$$$$$$$ expansion fee money to each team.
  10. Luongo was having a good game in that Ducks playoff game long ago until he got the runs and almost missed returning to the ice.
  11. Bingo. Dude wasn't "cancelled"/"detoxed" when he went out on anti-abortion rallies years before. He still had his contract work gig.
  12. No doubt when "things are going good", you see such players light up the scoreboard. Problem is, you're not going to win every game. They'll be slumps even with great teams. It's these types of players that extend losing streaks because they're the first ones to 'bail on you' when times get tough.
  13. How about we get the Hillary one to deal with the next time we play the Bruins?
  14. Didn't Gillis have a couple years left on his contract when he was shown the door? Granted no pandemic then but they've made money (owners) since then just on the hockey operations side of things (ignoring property values).
  15. Best candidates tend to be more discriminating (they'll always get paid and can afford to be choosy).
  16. Myers cost us nothing in terms of assets to sign unlike Gudbranson. Pretty significant difference imho.
  17. I do that all the time myself. How else am I going to win an argument?
  18. Seattle Kraken are backed by some financial muscle/$$$. I seriously doubt reaching the cap floor will be an issue. We ain't talking about the owner of the Sens.
