  1. We would all like them to win - BUT - that will shoot us down from 6th to 9th spot in the draft and FOR WHAT GAIN ???????????????????????????????Two nights ago we were in 4th spot until we got stuck with that dumb point after the late game rally. What did that accomplish?????????????????????? TG did this to us a few years back when he had the team going on a late season winning streak (more than once) which screwed up our draft slot, all in the name of saving his job. Well it doesn't matter this year for Green because in less than 48 hours he'll BE HISTORY. So Lose - we must.
  2. Yep, I'll be leaving right after the firings, having a pleasant summer and looking forward to some hope next season, rather than another year of the same old - same old results (which some people are "Content" with !)
  3. I know, it ceases to amaze me how some people don't recognize when change is needed. I am like most giving some praise to JB for some of his draft picks - however he has performed well below average in general management and gets a failing grade for asset mgmt. After 7 years it feels we are still at square 1. Realistically maybe 3 or 4 on a scale of 10 being fair - and that just doesn't cut it. In any event, we have just a bit over 48 hours left until the axe comes falling! Thank god!
  4. Glad to see the Canucks "show-casing him" for Seattle to steal ! Ugh!
  5. With all due respect - YES we do ! Until The owners start listening to what fans like John Tavares (above) keeps saying, nothing will change. He has pointed out some extremely valid points that the Owners have to start paying attention to or we'll get another 7 years of boring/losing hockey until the last of the fans have lost complete interest in this team. The last seven years reminds me of the very DARK days we endured back in the 80's - 90's where we were spinning our wheels and stuck in the MUD. That's what this team feels like now - unfortunately. JB and TG both have to GO ! Sorry ! CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !
  6. Yes, he's a "swell" guy but no fire in belly and yes our NEW GM next year will have to decide whether to let him leave or give him the boot.
  7. Which Jim Benning re-occurring Mistake are you refereeing to? The one where he signs useless bottom six players to overpaid/overextended contracts (like Lucky Loui, Beagle, Mutt, Sutter, Roussel most recently) -or- the one where he lets all our player contracts expire with players leaving for nothing in return rather than trading them for something beforehand (like Tanev, Marky and Stech most recently to name just a few) -or- the one where he lets potential UFA players walk away from us rather than trade their rights to another team (Like Tryamkin, where Arizona was interested in him) -or - the one where he can't Multi-Task (like letting TT leave to Montreal (after wasting a 2nd rounder for only 10 weeks of service) because he was too busy signing (soon to be imprisoned) Lazy Jake - or- the one where his sense of player worth got the better of him signing Lazy Jake instead of TT for a measly $1.5M more who got 11 times Jakes point output (44 Vs. 4) Fu@k ! -or - some of his less than stellar drafting (Selecting Lazy Jake instead of Nylander/Ehlers 2014) (Selecting Tryamkin 3rd round 2014 - never played with us) (Brisbois 3rd rounder 2015 - not a point!), (Selecting Yo-Levi 1st Rd 2015, where he could have picked Tkachuk or many others) (Traded out 1st and 2nd picks last year and all we have to show for it is Miller who is "OK" and Lazy Jake instead instead of TT) -or - leaving us with yet another bottom of the pack performance and left out of the playoffs AGAIN this season just like most of his time here ....................................................................................I think you get the point.
  8. Yes,me too! No hard feelings Travis and hope you have a wonderful rest of your life. Hope your journey takes you to better places and you find better success than you had here in Vancouver. All the best and don't forget to shut the door behind you.......................!
  9. Well said. The only thing that is a certainty is that TG will finally be gone in 4 days then maybe we'll finally get an experienced NHL coach at the helm.
  10. .....................still hoping they pick Lucky Loui to fill their "late third period, empty net scorer special teams" position ! Somebodys gonna have to fill that spot!
  11. ...........you shouda seen my arguments 16 years ago. Those were the days.....................
  12. PLEASE LOSE ! (We need to get to the bottom for a draft pick not win just so TG can try to save his job - that's going to be gone in 4 days anyways)
  13. What are results? (Sorry, I'm a Canucks fan and don't know what that word means???)
  14. Exactly. I suspect this is just another Aqua-lini "stunt" to try to appeal to the nostalgic Canuck fans hearts in a desperate effort to try to retain the remaining fans as Aqau-lini is completely out of ideas and out of his league owning this team. Obviously, all his ideas, tampering, money he threw at the team, and team food nutritionist have failed. TIME FOR NEW OWNERSHIP
  15. Aside from Edler who used to be an OK player many years ago, Schneider, and Grabner were just good "B" type players, Hansen a good 3erd liner - at best - not the second coming of Christ. As for Luongo, all I can say is he completely FAILED it for us in 2011 when things really mattered in the Final Boston series. We all lost all faith in him after that. So I don't see any of those players as a superstars or "Alpha" players. So Nonis remains a 'BUM'.
  16. Everyone needs to "step-up" and get their shots so we can put this virus into the history books otherwise we'll be playing cat & mouse with shutdowns, mask and quarantines for years to come. So please do your part and get the vaccine once you're eligible to get one. We wiped out many other very serious diseases with vaccines in the past and this will be no different.
  17. OMG, Nonis is nothing more than being Burkes' sloppy second. Please don't get me going on that guy!
  18. Agree! That was the dumbest screw-up I've seen in many years. For that alone, he MUST be fired. That was such a F'up that my blood pressure blows the gauge off the wall when I think of how he signed that useless boat anchor Lazy Jake instead of TT after trading a 2nd rounder to boot, especially after we've waited years to see if Jake would show up one day and he never did and now he's likely headed to Prison. Maybe JB can be bunk mate with Jake in Prison.
  19. This could possibly be the most honest post of the year ! ................and yes, Benning and Green both have to go. Enough is enough ! I don't want 7 more years of this Bull-$h1t.
  20. Looks like Alberta and Ontario are the latest to suspend use of the Indian Astra Zenica vaccine and BC is now considering the same due to concerns over higher than expected deaths and blood clotting. Now actually 1 in 55,000 https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/sciencebrief/risk-of-vaccine-induced-thrombotic-thrombocytopenia-vitt-following-the-astrazeneca-covishield-adenovirus-vector-covid-19-vaccines/ and a lot lower than the previously stated one in a million which the Indians previously stated which was completely incorrect. https://www.channel4.com/news/sage-scientist-says-risk-of-death-from-astrazeneca-vaccine-less-than-one-in-a-million Not surprised to see this as that stuff has been suspect for awhile . Better if they just leave it to the Indians to use anyways as they need it pretty badly and we can switch over to the safer European developed Phizer and Moderna vaccine which most normal countries are using. So glad I waited and got a normal appointment in the health department with no wait and receive the good Phizer Vaccine instead of panicking and lining up for 8 hours in rain soaked mud field tent up in Newton to risk my life injecting that Astra Zencxa stuff,
