Now saying over 20 people
Canucks' positive COVID cases increases to over 20
https://www.tsn.ca/1.1618012.1617560160https://mobile.twitter.com/northkoreadprk?lang=en
If you want propaganda stick to North Korea Twitter. Less propaganda than Dregers or any of this trash Tarrana media causing a panic in our fan base.
WE DO NOT HAVE 20 POSITIVE CASES. Anyone that breathed air beside guads and Sutter was added to protocol for safety.
Jim's just not coming out to say anything because he learned from Bergevins cheating when he needed Montreal players to rest up injuries.
Stay calm. Stay safe. Don't be a covidiot. FOLLOW PROVINCE GUIDELINES

Yes genius Jim benning... Well played.
Keep feeding these trolls to fuel their propaganda machine and delay our games. Rest up boys. What's Dreger gonna say today? Can't wait for my daily laugh.
Stay safe. Stay hungry. Not worried about our boys at all - they have the most priveledged health care on the planet. Love our boys more than anyone but I refuse to get anxiety over the wellbeing of millionaires that are resting up with the finest luxuries.
Stay safe is to my fellow Canucks nation... The faithful that don't have the luxury of 7 figure salary to keep them from worrying. I care about u 100x more than our boys in this situation. Canada is here for you. Stay strong.
The faithful that actually had their jobs affected and don't have doctors at their beck and call making house calls... The faithful that can't just justify ordering $300 worth of food from door dash daily... The ones that have ACTUALLY STRUGGLED during this pandemic...
Disclaimer: Covid isn't fake. FOLLOW OUR PROVINCES GUIDELINES. Don't live in fear though. If you're experiencing symptoms, you must stay mentally strong and prioritize your health in every manner possible.
If you want to pretend to be a social justice warrior go help out those in need. The vulnerable. Stop wasting your breath and believing the lies North Korean Darren Dreger is spreading. The multi millionaires do not need your sympathy. The vulnerable do.
PS. Sorry if this is insensitive but I can almost guarantee I love our boys more than anyone out there... I've volunteered enough on the east side recently and seen people with REAL PROBLEMS tho...
But oh no someone call the whambulance..
Brandon Sutter dad even said specifically, he's having bad flu symptoms. That's it! He also has the luxury of isolating himself in the basement...
Show of hands, how many of u know people that got covid and were in small 1 bedroom apartments and didn't have Brandon's luxury to get space from their family? I can think of 25+ people personally.
Edit: here's some positive stuff click for free enjoyment & smiles, it's not embedding for some reason

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...

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.

What colour is the sky in your world Apollo?
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

This is p1, it's an entirely different beast
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.

Yeah ... I know this situation is more serious than hockey. But I am trying to imagine the worst case scenario being that Vancouver needs to do a complete rebuild again because the team's young players will never reach their potential because of the long terms effects of covid.
Obviously I hope this doesn't happen, but we all know about Canuck luck.
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.

Just an opinion. Getting sick to the point that you need and IV is fairly serious. It takes time to get your body back to a professional hockey players standard. We shall see what happens.
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

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!

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

There are 184 NHL defencemen who have logged at least 250 5-on-5 minutes this year and Myers is bottom-five with his expected goals against rate. That influx of quality chances against has translated to the second-highest actual goals against rate among the club’s defence corps. By the eye, it’s evident that he’s allowing too many controlled entries against as a result of poor gap control, that he hasn’t been able to deny passing lanes well enough and that he has found himself out of position from time to time.
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.

Last year they gave up assets to acquire Toffoli. Then they realized that they couldn't resign him. No cap space.
What kind of plan was that? Are we deep enough to be giving up assets for ten games?
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

58 minutes ago, NewbieCanuckFan said:Brock? Not a chance. EP? If team takes steps to protect him on the ice, easily. Quinn? Depends on how he develops his play without the puck. Even if he doesn't progress in that area, I still see him contending for the Norris in the future (as that is more points based).
Nobody cares about "runner up". We were runner up in 1982, 1994 and 2011.
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.

League MVP though with a guy like King James around.
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?

I agree that the club has drafted well under Jim. We all do.
So is that the plan? Fumble through year after year with no direction? How many extra draft picks could have been acquired if there was an organized plan to maximize assets?
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.

**** rookie of the year. How about drafting three league MVPs?
Sam Presti:
Kevin Durant (he did win rookie of the year as well)
Russell Wesbrook
James Harden
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

Calder nominees* not winners. Only Pettersson won that.
It doesn't undo how great the picks were but let's not stretch the truth here.
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.

Thank you.
Also this whole IV thing...
You guys know this is super common for millionaires right? They go out drinking partying then have the doctor ready for them to come over at 9am with IV and vitamins.
I'm playing the world's smallest violin for our glorious boys. Long live our our boys... Love em... But come on...
There's vulnerable people in our country that actually need sympathy and help.
BIG SHOUTOUT to the aquilinis for stepping up and helping our most in need.
