[Report] Canucks sign Travis Green to contract extension
RU SERIOUS replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
It's all I could come up with at 2:00 in the morning ! -
Francesco Aquilini owes Canuck Nation an explanation.
RU SERIOUS replied to RU SERIOUS's topic in Canucks Talk
No, of course not. Drafting (although not perfect) is the only shining spot on his resume with the addition of those few young players. -

A few good picks don't make up for the flops he picked and ALL the bad trades and tons of terrible signings he made. Not to mention signing Lazy Jake instead of TT last season (who had 11 times Jakes output) for just $1.5M more....... and letting nearly all our Assets simply walk out the door (year after year) on expired contract instead of trading them for something/anything before hand. He even screwed that up with Tryamkin last month by not trading his signing rights to Arizona who wanted him and we lost that guy too - for nothing! Get the point. Uncle Jim is NOT the second coming of Christ. He is in fact an ineffective GM with 7 years of team failure on his hands and MUST be replaced! -

You must be confusing me with all the rest of the "normal" fans that also want to get rid of TG because of his ineptness. I've only posted once in this thread - so far - about sending our interim coach TG back to the ECHL where he can cause no further damage to this franchise. -

Isn't this decision to be stuck with TG the prime definition of Insanity? -

Just got back from my trip to the past and unfortunately just re-confirmed what I stated earlier, that we finished MUCH worse this year than 2014, before Jim began trying to point this team in some sort of direction with a his rebuild/retool/resomething. Other than a few great picks (we all know who), It's pretty obvious to those who have been following and supporting ($) this team for decades, that this team is in absolute crisis - stuck in the mud and in need of major re-direction. Three (slender) good young draft picks will not take us to the cup alone. It's going to take a complete cast of descent players to complement those star players to get this team to where it needs to be and which Jim has been unable to assemble - now going into his eighth year. There's a point in time where you just have to admit Failure and we are at that point. As a season's ticket holder for 20 years I have every G'dam right to demand value for my hard earned money and certainly some sort of explanation WTheck is going on, as I've done my part and remained faithful and along for the ride - BUT - there's a point where failure must be admitted and changes made and we are at that point now. Standings at Seasons end: 2014-15 = 8'th (Jim's first year as GM inheriting a supposedly awful team) 2015-16 = 28th (3rd worst team that year and after Jim's first full year retooling the team) 2016-17 = 29th (2nd worst team that year) 2017-18 = 26th (6th worst team) 2018-19 = 23rd (9th worst team) 2019-20 = 17th (Squeak into the playoffs) 2021-21 = 24th (a mere 3 points above the 29th place or 3rd worst team) Is this progression ???? -
Canuck's Nation & Season Ticket Holders demand ownership step up in front of the microphone at a news conference and explain what the game plan is and answer all questions from reporters. It's been 7 years now with JB & Co. and we're right back at square one - actually much worse this year than back then. The cycle of excuses and attempted distractions from JB's incompetence, like hiring Trevor and the chatter now about hiring the Sedins/Courtnall doesn't cut-it. We know that's all smoke and mirrors. Jim Benning Has Failed this franchise and should be removed NOW! WE (Canuck's Nation & Season Ticket Holders) WAN'T TO KNOW WHAT THE GAME PLAN IS GOING FORWARD Be a Man Francesco and step up to the podium and answer for these sins!

Quinn finishes the season with a "Whopping" Minus -24 making him the 3rd worst defenceman and 7th worst +/- player in the entire National Hockey League out of 913 players. Hopefully our upcoming brand new Coaching staff can teach him how to play defense next year so those 41 points actually mean something.

Highlight of the year: Definitely watching the rise of "THE PIG" ...HOG-Lander. He's going to be a keeper and was an unexpected surprise.

I demand a recount ! I'm sure Eriksson got the GWG all 21 times that I predicted ! (Thanks for your efforts Goalie13)

Agree, if anything this team needs to desperately GET RID OF the passive, meek, soft, polite Euro-Swedish aura that has hampered this team for 20 years and which was brainwashed into once tough Canadian player Bo Horavat by the Sedins. We need to get some character, fire in the belly players, not draft & develop more players into Finesse Euro sponge players that look good in the regular season and get crushed when the tough gets going. I've watched Naslund get his lights knocked out by Moore, The Sedins treated like whimps and pussys in the Boston S.Cup finals punched square in face with no response and Petterson picked up in the air and slammed into the ice like a bag of potatoes. None of them pushed back ! Totally embarrassing!

[Report] Jim Benning to return for next season
RU SERIOUS replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Obviously a financial decision because a blind man can see that JB can't manage assets and trades. He can't communicate properly and he's let nearly all our assets walk out the front door for nothing in return, handing out dumb a$$ contracts to ECHL caliber bottom 6 players (The worst in the league), made numerous bad trades and the icing on the cake..........kept (soon to be imprisoned) Lazy Jake instead of TT, who has 11 times his points output at just $1.5m above Lazy Jake and he gave up a coveted 2nd round pick for TT. That screw-up was a direct result of his inability to multi-task (not the first time ether). He's a glorified scout - PERIOD - END OF STORY. Nothing more! -

Clarke, YES, Green, NF Way! He's an AHL Caliber coach and will never - repeat Never - lead a group of players to the cup. He was only ever hired as an interim coach and it must be kept that way. He'll be gone in less than 24 hours and good riddance! (Don't forget to shut the door behind you and Bum-Gardener) -
Predict The Score Contest: VAN @ CGY May 19th 2021
RU SERIOUS replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
4-3 CowTown Gaudreau Canucks Miller ***Thank you for doing this @Goalie13. ****** Definitely do this again next year when things are back to normal !!!! -
Yep back in the good 'ol days when there was a center line, no TV time outs, no goalie mask, player/fan fights and backchecking all the way up the ice in players arms and wrist and no protective fan netting behind the nets, races down the ice to avoid icing calls - resulting in wild crashes in the boards, wicked full speed boarding. Those were the days ......! That was what you called hockey. Now the game has been homogenized and sanitized into Euro-style entertainment. Not at all what the game used to be when we called it "hockey" and it meant something.

Shoulda started this post early in the season. Would have likely been one of the all time epic post of the year.

Fact: Fin is a bilateral gynandromorph ! (one of the kids checked him over at one of the games last year and confirmed this was the case !!!)
