  1. Question is more like, when will he be top of the tree on that list... 12 more assists...
  2. This.... Been saying this for ages... this team has lots of leaders in it... Letters don't make leaders You're either a leader or you're not...
  3. Thanks... this is so true... After reading through the PGT you'd have thought we just got dropped out of the play off race... I thought the team battled back fantastically and gave them self a chance in game, that looked all but over after the second period. 2 point would have been great, but 1 far better then none, and the mental strength shown to at least get a point, shows the character in the team... The team is growing, and its getting better week after week... Canucks are right in the middle of it and that in it self is a remarkable achievement... Lots of big games coming up, and the team needs to make the most of it.... desire will go a long way in determine if they make it or not.
  4. Cheers Devron, well said. Harmonic even gave him a pat as he came off the ice, for sticking to the player being tough on Hunt... He is the only player, who consistently goes to war for his team mates... There's a reason he plays with Hughes..
  5. Ahoy sailor nice review.... I'd rather compare Benning to a CEO, who built a ship, a good ship to do a specific job... but hired a captain, who wasn't up to the job... Because the ship was drifting around rudderless, the CEO got the sack together with the Captain by the owners. Now the ship again sails an does the job it was built for...
  6. Yes it sure does Blaze... should never complain about a win... but as they say some winning scores are better then others...
  7. Well if he knew Green going, meant he was going too, he was hardly likely to sack him? No idea if that was the case though.
  8. I have no issue with Benning going down with the ship neither, changes were needed, and his reign was part of the problem... But he learned on the job, and he, despite the constant arguments here, did a lot of good things, which seems to drift into this air, when he tenure is discussed. I think its fair to say that the myth, Benning couldn't make any good trades, has been quashed with the extraordinary form of Miller, etc... Think what Benning could have been done with, was a man like JR in the background as POH... His biggest mistakes came in the beginning of his tenure, and it may not have ended this way then...
  9. Maybe Benning wasn't allowed to chose another Coach... its rare GMs get to sack 2 coaches and keep choosing the next one...
  10. Seems to be every single PGT... They either don't comments at all, when the team wins, or they look for anything negative to highlight... barely ever applauds a win... What a sad life....
  11. 4-2 Canucks Petey.... PS. Talk about curse... had 4-3 with Petey winner... I love Bo, but..........
  12. Spot on... And yes regardless of what they decide, there will be part of this fanbase that will be seriously unhappy... tough call...
  13. I think everyone wants him, if we can sign him for 6 years only...
  14. That's kind of what my brains tells me as well... But it also tells me, we need a good..no great haul to let Miller go... Have had enough of watching us lose...
  15. Yeah true, and that is the point that says sign him and run with it, cause who knows, what lays in the future... And.... we could possible be lucky he doesn't fall off a cliff edge, and actually can stay a top 6 player to the end of his contract. Now that would be something with both him and EP and Quinn for the next 8 years at a good rate...
  16. Think the real question is, can we live with him as a passenger the last 2-3 years of his contract... or at least no more... If we get a good 5 years out of him it'll be until QH is 27 and EP 30... so are we prepared to let 2-3 season go with Miller as a passenger at those 2 players prime? To be honest, I'm not sure... My head say trade him and make a killing with players, who can support EP in his prime, but my heart says roll with, while its hot... Who knows if EP will be able to carry the team in a few years time? Could get an injury loss of form etc etc.... Think I'll leave it to Alwyn to figure out...and if it doesn't work, I'll do like most and be cleaver afterwards
  17. Brutal.... respect...
  18. Yeah he's done wonders... Actually played well with Hughes in his first stint under Green as well... But yes he has certainly grown with the challenge despite not being the fastest... What a great hit he started the game with.... just set the tone in case anyone wasn't awake and ready... Love the guy
  19. Who would have thought this was possible.... a few months into the season...
  20. What does it really matter... A letter doesn't make a leader.... you're either a leader or you're not. Think Miller is absolutely fine with Bo being the Captain...
  21. Love how he doesn't dwell on himself but gives it to the entire team.... Leadership qualities.
  22. Unsung hero award goes to...... Schenn by a Country mile...
  23. I know and agree to a certain extend... My point was more like, when QH is 28 he'll be looking at an 8 year deal at high numbers, if he continues this play for the next 5 years He will get a monster contract from someone... but fair enough D-men does normally last longer...
  24. Yep... all true, and I get it as well. We may come to regret it, but atm Miller isn't only driving the bus... He owns the freaking bus... last player to be this hot in Canucks colours was Henrik Sedin... Just saw the sign about the value for Miller for us just now... if Miller doesn't get a point, we're 1-14-0... or similar... That is massive. When he gets a point only 28-7-4 and when he scores 15-0-1 or similar... Incredible statistics really... As for being a 'grinder', his playing style may be like a grinder, similar to Motte, but also think he was stuck in Tampas system behind some decent players. Yes I doubt he will stay this hot for long, and I know the concern is longevity, but feel t some stage you've got to take a chance... This team has moved the goal post over the last 20 games... to start with there was a spring in their steps after Bruce came in, but this has continued and I feel the team deserve to get the chance to run with this, if it continues. I stated more than a month ago that I was torn, on whether the keep him or make a killing, but as this goes on, you've got to think the rest of the players, will wonder be extremely unhappy if we take their points leader out of the line up now, and tell them not to worry as we will be better in a couple of years...maybe. Anyway, This is where Alwyn gets his wings, or will be in it up to his neck from the start... this is a massive decision he has to make, and he can thank his god, that he has a wily old fox sitting behind to lend him support, which I think Benning could have been done with, when he started his tenure here... Time will tell... its a massive time for this franchise immediate future...
