Gonna leave this here for all those going through a tough time right now and having anxiety. I wish you all well. So does the captain. This is 20 minutes ago... https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQD6V_h8xi The sky is not falling. Stay safe and stay CALM Covid is not a joke. I'm not downplaying it but all people are doing is revving up anxiety and spreading toxic energy. Our boys have the best care on the planet. 10x better than the care us regular people got when we get diagnosed. They will be back at %100 before we know it. All you should do is send your positive thoughts their way. If you want to consume your time with this nonsense maybe see what you can do to support someone in your life with their mental well-being during these hard times.

Good question... You'd assume I'd say always blue but I'm not a big fan of clear skies. I think it's overrated and we're beyond blessed to have clouds here. I find it far more majestic when there's some clouds and light coming through the clouds, reflecting on the ocean. Really meditative I spend way too much time taking pictures of clouds and going for walks since covid hit as my mental health was taking a beating. Also love just listening to the birds. Younger me never appreciated these things in life... Helps me stay sane. So I won't have to pound alarm bells over millionaires getting private doctors sent to their homes cuz they are simply that rich and well off... When there's vulnerable people in ACTUAL DANGER Let's go thru this one more time... I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again, I was in denial of my own mental illness for many years and coped with alcohol and other vices. Old me definitely would chose a) in the below scenario Scenario 1, all of our players have covid p1 whatever A) aquilini has sent them private doctors to their homes... This must mean 14 of them about to die. Canucks need to do a full rebuild. Benning is to blame. B} aquaman is one of the best owners in all of hockey and is loving that he can flex some white priveledge to lessen his players symptoms by sending them private doctors Bold is how a healthy person reacts. Someone mentally stable. The former, is how someone mentally ill reacts - likely suffering from either severe anxiety or OCD and unaware of it because they use drugs and alcohol or other bad habits to cope with their illness. This makes the subject unaware of their mental illness and they just continue to cope with drinking or whatever vice Our mental health is far too important to let trolls ramble on. I hope no one takes this as me coming at them. When I say mental illness I don't mean anything offensive... if it's wasn't for this great franchise and Tyler Motte I'd never be able to see the light myself. This has to stop. Canucks nation is time we band together. Canadians will always come out ahead. This is simply the greatest nation on Gods green earth

Yes I'm well aware, I've had friends get it recently and I've been at their beck and call helping out, delivering groceries, offering mental support. Not being a troll calling them and saying they'll never recover... My friends 67 year old smoker dad beat P1 no problem. You beat it by staying positive and making the right health choices. Imagine when people in my life needed my help throughout this and I told them... Hey you're probably losing your job and your company is going thru a total rebuild. So either he's right and Hughes Horvat Pettersson Miller Brock are now trash after this. They'll never recover. I think it's time we fold the franchise right? Or you can realize that's the worst comment anyone's made in history and it's beyond silly that someone is proposing a rebuild as all our players are now damaged goods? Support those in need. Give to your food banks and calm your anxiety. Canada will get thru this stronger than ever. This just shows how toxic and negative some of our fans are. Support one another and calm down. This is the world's greatest country.

Imagine worst case? LOL our players never reaching their potential and having to completely rebuild? LOOOOOL Dude if you wana do that you should also prepare for the world ending. After all its really dangerous here in Canada. I think the world will end. You might be up to something. Get a grip. Plenty of players have got covid and literally only guy in nhl that reported severe symptoms was ristolainnen... Did covid slow McDavid down? My brother, stay calm. Go for walks.

Having the privilege of getting at home IV service is incredible imo... I know lots of people that have caught it recently, or even myself last year... And boy wish I had the privilege of having IV delivered to lessen my symptoms... Anyone fighting any flu or virus could benefit from IV. These guys are rich millionaire athletes. You don't need to sound alarm bells if they getting IV. it probably just means they r taking ever precaution to prevent it escalating. Really nice luxury to have when you get paid millions and aquaman is ready to flex all his cash to keep u healthy... As for our boys... Not worried. They have top quality care and they are healthy. What I'm worried about is our homeless population and our vulnerable who haven't got vaccines. I know this is the Canucks forum, but that demographic is 1000x more important than our glorious boys. Would be nice if this made Canucks nation open their eyes and everyone be safe. Give help to others when u can... Mental health help, food bank donations, etc. This is a rough time but together we stand stronger.

This is unfortunate but I'm not concerned about these young health rockets recovering... Hopefully we have games postponed until April 12th and everyone is ready to go by then. This break should be a blessing in disguise imo. Good chance for the boys to push a reset and come back healthy as can be

Troll. Blocked

Mayne go watch the blues series... Clearly you must have missed it when he made short order of the Stanley Cup Champions in 6 games

Perfect the team gets more much needed rest. If I was Benning I woulda faked a covid outbreak to get games postponed like Bergevin did anyways... Right as soon as his injuries started. Imo Montreal should forfeit the season!

Wow what a deal... Unbelievable. Benning Trolls b like... 'errrmaahhguurddd shoulda signed markstrom at 6x6! Fire Benning!" One year shorter than Marky and one mill less... Wow. I'll go pray to lord Benning now... I'm not worthy! Get used to team friendly deals folks. This core absolutely loves this city and wants to bring us the cup. Buckle up, Jim has some more stellar deals up his sleeve... Price 10.5 mill lol... Love Jim's vision long term. All hail!

Wouldn't surprise me if the boys rally from here on in and go on a Cinderella playoff run. It's not guaranteed it happens, but I don't mind our chances given our group of stallions. Hockey is a game of bounces though... So if it doesn't happen, I'm gonna be patient with Jim's process. I'm not gonna be an irrational spoiled brat yelling for a GMs firing because I had faster rebuilds playing NHL on my Xbox Demmer 5x5... This should permanently put an end to all the trolls that say he can't sign contracts. He's learned from past mistakes and is shinning now. Long live the king! Long live sir Jim Benning!

I'd like to exchange all my Canadian $s for these bills sir. Which bank do I go?

Getttirrrrrrrrrrrdun!

You guys know I love to support our boys no matter what and not say anything bad about em... But looking back at it, don't you wish they let Copp just put in a 5th goal? Pretty selfish, who cares at that point? To be fair they all millionaires and don't realize that there's someone out there whose life they could have drastically changed... And I guess they wanted to save face and show pride... But with 20 seconds left, just give it to Copp and let him tuck it into empty netter. 100k is still amazing... Just a shame it's not 1mill I hope this Marcella is someone who really needed it. Love that even in defeat our team managed to help someone. But yea major shame Jimmy Pattison didn't haven't to cough up the extra 900k Marcella C Winnipeg, MB, $100,000

Advanced stats peeps that don't realize he's been left hung out to dry by his forwards and fellow d partner backhcecking properly... Good advanced stat bro lol Also not actually good that's sarcasm. I for one am really glad Tyler chose to sign here. Love having him on the team.

Brutal... The sky is falling isn't it? Look outside! It's coming down! Jim replaced him with Hoglander... I'm not mad. Anyways I'm done replying to nonsense by people that think it's their Xbox and they can do make better moves and negotiate better with robot agents! Go negotiate with AI player agents in your Xbox, you'll be happier. Make sure u trade for every last place teams 1st rounder too, just give them trash and acquire 10 1sts

Damn dude I tried everything to help u see the positive but u keep putting a bad spin on it and being negative at any counter I have... Brock wasn't a top 3 pick dude. He was 23rd. And out of all 6 players mentioned, Brock ep Quinn kd harden rus... Brock is by far miles away ahead of all 5 in character. I think Brock might be the best human we've had come thru here. Sedins as glorious as they were, weren't giving back like Brocky has so early on. They also weren't scoring like him this early on. (no disrespect to my two lords Henrik and Daniel, just pointing out the obvious) It's really sad that youre trying to bring Brocky down. I wish you well, I hope you see the light one day. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/boeser-girl-down-syndrome-internet-troll

What age did they win MVP lol... this is exactly why I'm saying trust Jim's process... some people have 0 patience / sense. Harden first MVP .......... 29 YEARS OLD! Westbrook first MVP......... omg 29 again! Durant first MVP ...... 26 years old Relax man Petey is 22... Quinn is 21... Brocky is 24... THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING! They aren't busts... they've all won calder or were 1st runner up... and in BOTH cases of runner ups, they are out performing Barzal and Makar... Do you see why I go nuts over this? How does 20% of our fan base just absolutely not see this?! You don't think any of these 3 guys win MVP or more importantly bring home a cup?

No the plan is to trust his process and be patient. Aquaman told us that was the plan as well... to all of us that it wasn't already clear to. Jim is the guy for the job. No ones done what he's accomplished... As @NewbieCanuckFan mentioned Sam Presti picks were epic, but he did it with a 2nd 3rd and 4th overall pick... it's not the same.

Again same thing as Chicago and Pittsburgh GM's getting their picks... its no where near as impressive when you always drafting top 3. #2 Overall Durant... Westbrook #4 , Harder #3 ... JIm did it with 5, 7 23... and Demmer 36

i was fired up typing fast, i meant to say calder winner or runner up brock and quinn both 2nd... also look at Quinn #'s vs Makar RN or Barzal... Compare their stats, they're 3 clear winners if you look at it now, why can't u see that?

Name 1 GM in the history of sports that's drafted his team the rookie of the year or the runner up 3 years in a row. I'll wait... (calder in this case) 23rd overall, 5th overall, 7th overall... this is not a video game. You should respect his vision and trust his process. I'm begging you Canucks nation, stay positive and trust Jim's process. I had many doubts in him, you can go back to his first 5 years... I often questioned him and said he should be fired on these forums... but he's made amends and I'm confident that he is the man that will bring us our rightful cup. Long live Lord Benning! Edit: fixed... Rookie of the year or runner up without a single top 3 pick. No other GM has done this in all sports.

Love the Don Taylor add... glad he's back on the radio. More excited for his TV show on Check tho He better be getting $50k per appearance after the bush league stunt Rogers pulled by taking him off TV in the first place! Such great memories with Donnie. I teared up over his tribute on the final episode of connected... the day Rogers ruined regional hockey coverage for everyone but laughs fans. Donnie never played for this glorious franchise, but for some reason it feels like he did... I pretty much learned English by obsessively watching his show mornings before school and nights before bed... would always be upset on the odd occasion that they had someone subbing for Donnie lol I know its weird to say this but looking back, I guess he was kind of a father figure for me... dad left at 7, started watching Donnie around 10 years old... Donnie was there for me always haha Always loved his energy and his happy go lucky attitude. Was it his left Habby? Or his left Bulin? Still cracks me up I'll leave this here...

Assist?! Looks like he got the goal on that one Nanaimo Predators look forward to retiring the #s of these two legends!

End of the day tho, isn't it better he's got franchise players all in their 20s for the coming years? I could care less about a few vets that are all coming off the books in less than 15 months and as for Sutter only what 3 months? But yea his haters really stuck on the fact that for 3 months Brandon Sutter is gonna get an extra million... Oh golly I can't wait for aquamans daughter to get a new yatch! ^ that's what trolls bashing Bennings contracts sound like... Anti benning trolls need to get a life (no offense, seriously) Spoiled brats honestly... The guy has become the first gm in nhl history to produce 3 back to back calder runner ups or winners... And people upset over some short term garbo! Brutal! Long live king Benning.
