Yeah, pretty sure most of us don't. GM searches are always a bit finnicky. Sometimes you pick someone who seems to be doing a good job as an assistant somewhere and they end up being like Paul Fenton. No guarantees that the next GM after Benning (whenever that happens) is an upgrade. That being said, that risk shouldn't stop the team from trying if they deem it necessary.

If the team is going with the clean house route, I want fresh blood. No disrespect to either Linden or Gillis, but I frankly think the team needs new faces with no ties to the current organization. Doesn't mean they have to be first-timers at their roles, however.

Apparently a headache to coach and abrasive with his teammates. Political views aside, no thanks. Also, the rumours about a postgame altercation appear to be true:

The only thing less accurate than a Dion Phaneuf point shot is a Metro Vancouver snow forecast.

169-0 Montreal. An angry Claude Julien negotiates a deal with some nearby aliens to use their spaceship to abduct all the Canucks' healthy defencemen in retaliation for the Myers hit. Hughes is the only one who escapes the spaceship's tractor beam because of his height. Left with only one defenceman, Green summons Eriksson from the taxi squad to play with Hughes for the entire game. Realizing the long odds, the remaining Canucks players, including Holtby, protest this injustice by lying face-down one by one across the blueline. Tyler Toffoli ends up scoring all 169 goals.

Proof for the unitiated: -
Does anyone know if Hoglander has expressed any preference to how he wants his name pronounced? I've keep saying his name with the umlaut 'ö', but I sense that most people will call him 'Hog'-lander.

Would be funny to see if corporate sponsors would pay CDC users to shill them in posts. This post was brought to you by Capilano Audi.- 511 replies

Probably waiting for Ferland to be placed on LTIR before they can formally sign a contract. -
Thatcher Demko scores a goal.

Roussel is fine. Think the title of this CanucksArmy article is easy to misread: Article title says he had knee surgery 20 months ago, not 'he's out 20 months with knee surgery'. -

It's always the same few people derailing threads, it's getting annoying to be honest. -
2021 IIHF World Junior Championship Thread

Safe bet that these two teams won't be inviting each other to any New Year's Eve parties. -
The tournament directors offered Germany the choice of moving this game back one day and they decided they'd rather keep their day off before they play Slovakia. Germany knew this game was a lost cause, so they decided to get it over with. I've seen Canada blown out in other sports where they aren't as competitive as other countries (basketball and rugby for example). I honestly don't care when the other team runs up the score. When you lose, you lose. The score is ultimately just a number. Not to say I don't sympathize for the German players, but I trust that they'll be able to pick themselves up. They did the best they could given the circumstances.

Maybe that's where the issue is, the NHL is trying to convince the BC government that the Leafs qualify as high performance athletes.
