  1. OMG, WT F is this topic ! Some sort of love in ???? What kind of fan base do we have that has people willing to suffer through this ineptness year after year after year and then say their "OK with everything as is" ??? Holy Smoke! The reason why 70% of fans are unhappy with the return of those two (according to todays poll on CHEK and most of the post on CDC) is because after 7 years we're still in the cellar of the league - AGAIN - and mainly because of Jim Benning's inability to ice a competitive team and TG inability to raise the efforts of this team. JB might have scored a few wins in the drafting column but he's striked out on a few too and definitely with most Trades, Signings, Asset Management and General Management of this team. I need not repeat ALL the screw-ups he's made but bringing these two back is a mistake. Wait until fans are in the seats next season and finally get to voice their opinions live-in-person with chants of FIRE BENNING - FIRE GREEN on live TV when we suffer through our eighth season of Failure and hopelessness. This team needed change this year - and Aqua-Lini didn't have the courage to deliver! Today's press conference was all about smoke & mirrors. Such a shame !
  2. Are you saying we're in for 5,6,7 more years of Failure under JB/TG ?
  3. I see your point of view but than could go either way. I also understand your point of view of not evaluating a D based on +/_ but that is not the intent of this post. It's to simply highlight the fact that as much as he has 40 points, he also had 24 of them negated by bad defensive work and everyone know's he's likely the biggest defensive liability on the team (offensive output not included) as this stat proves that and is fact not fiction. Hopefully he can strengthen his Defensive skills and we'll see this number drop dramatically so his points count for something in the end. I'd for one would certainly want to see that. He has a lot of potential but man, he can make some horrible mistakes and gets caught up ice and beat for the puck on a regular basis. I'm hopeful he gets this overcome. Sometimes I wonder if he'd be better off playing wing, but his exit out of the defensive zone is very strong and would be a shame to waste if he was stuck up front.
  4. Yes, going from Minus -13 when this post began to Minus -24 at seasons end is certainly a significant improvement ? BTW, could you do my income taxes for me next year?
  5. it's a bit dated but includes 5 years of his picks and despite having some success picking a few good players, we still are one of the worst teams in the league (again) and certainly one of the worst dis-jointed Canucks teams in the past 35 years. But try telling that to the JB/TG Kool-Aid drinkers.
  6. Yes, it is encouraging to hear. Time will tell. It's been a very frustrating time to be a canucks fan!
  7. It's not just internet whiners, but TV sports anchors, sports radio show host, newspaper writers, HNIC panels, twitter commentators and most importantly season ticket holders (who pay the bills). Don't kid yourself, Aqau-man sees and hears whats going on around here. If we all remained quiet "HOMEY UNIKS" like "Some-people", nothing would ever change! Oh, and thanks for your acknowledgement!
  8. Not Quite. JB's promises of major changes (buyouts, trades) this off season are the most serious and dramatic promises I've ever heard him say in seven years and acknowledgement that many of his past decisions have failed and are in need of rectification. If he actually carry's thru with them, there may be hope to right the canucks ship a bit in a couple of years when our next GM arrives. Time will tell. I'm holding my breath!
  9. Exactly. The JB & TG Homers that complain about us complainers - should thank us. It's because of fans like you, me and thousands of others that are unimpressed with the past 7 years of failure - that we're getting these revised promises today to make major changes.
  10. One liners about one liners is Old news ! (yes, that's a joke .............BTW)
  11. Good to see someone bringing reality into the picture. Those 6 results after Jim started tinkering with the team - after year one (which he inherited) - speaks volumes! This team has been a failure to date under his regime and this year was likely one of the most dis-jointed line-ups I've ever seen on this team. A total mess!
  12. Well after that, I'm now convinced Uncle Jim has a new path to the promised land. The Jimbo "Homey"s" ought to be satisfied with that!
  13. Really??? That hardly qualifies as critical - just regular duties.
  14. ...but, but, but...Yo-Levi has a better "ring" to it than Juolevi.
  15. Yes, we certainly need to see more of him and should be given fair opportunity to prove himself not just a few minutes on the ice every game or three. Hopefully a bit of housecleaning on D will open a spot for him.
  16. Agree, I saw many of those post but the proof is in the pudding when TG has Yo-Levi in the line-up and only plays him for 5 minutes and not in any critical moments. (Like he does with Lazy Jake). That send a strong message that he has little faith in him.
  17. I think he has good potential as well and hope he gets more opportunity in future. Just holding my breath to see if that will actually happen though with Green still there.
  18. .........................and can actually score. Maybe Uncle Jim can find someone that can do that ? Hmmmmmmmmm, Oh yea he did. Good thing we have uncle Jim to make those wise decisions like signing (soon to be imprisoned) Lazy Jake instead of TT)
  19. Maybe, but Travis obviously has no faith in Yo-Levi because he never plays him and now that we're stuck with Greener for two more long years, that ain't gonna change!
  20. Only Clark should be retained. We obviously need a new D coach so Quinn can learn how to play D and make his 40+ points mean something instead of being negated by Minus -24 of screw ups. Ditto for our PP and PK which I can predict in my sleep. Some new strategies are required because our team is so easy to predict (plus I'm sick and tired of seeing those predictable as the sun rising - dumb-a$$ drop passes on the PP rush). This team is stale and void of anything progressive!
  21. Do you think Uncle Jim will finally admit Yo-Levi is a bust draft pick like lazy Jake?
  22. If Jim stands behind his words then that means our entire bottom 6 and half our D's will be bought out! Woo-Hoo !
