  1. Two arguments I would make first is you where on private property so I'm 99% sure that right there voids the ticket, second I would argue that your vehicle was stopped, in park and out of traffic when you pulled out your phone.
  2. ARE THEY ONLY HUMAN THOUGH? I HEARD THAT PETEY WAS AN ALIEN AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT BOESER IS A PRETZEL WITH HOW OFTEN HE BREAKS.
  3. I think what is hurting the Canucks fans the most is there never seems to be a clearly defined plan that we can get behind. Management always seems to be rudderless. This we'll see what happens approach we always have is getting pretty old. If we are rebuilding then lets rebuild, if we are going for it lets make the tough decisions and go for it. I'm tired of the lets just try and make the playoffs mentality.
  4. Like I said you tell him your going to quit, FA does not want the nightmare of his newly hired President quitting on him because he can't stop meddling.
  5. Well then you still do the same thing IMO, then you have a meeting with the owner to say either you let me do my job properly or I quite. You might get a short term bump from pissing your employees off, but when that wears off, it will just create more disharmony. People will always work harder for someone they know has their backs.
  6. Well I'm annoyed at JR not because he criticized the Coach or players, although a good leader would do that behind closed doors, what annoys me is he didn't take any responsibility, nor did he criticize he's management group. He instead made excuses for there failures. If your the Boss you always need to take the first hit, if he had done that I think everyone would have agreed with what he was saying. A boss that throws his employees under the bus while making excuses for his failings is a loser in my books and someone no one should respect.
  7. Ryan Renalds cheering against the Canucks sucks, wish he was buying the Canucks instead.
  8. I agree I think he is willing to wheel and deal, the problem I see is that he fails to see when the best deal is in front of him and pull the trigger. He is instead taking the safe route and just doing nothing which has lead to this mess.
  9. The problem is every time they have an opportunity make changes they seem to double down and make it even harder to make changes. They aren't doing what I had expected them to do, based on what they all said when they got here. To me it seems like they did a complete 180 and just kept rolling.
  10. I ran a business for years and when things went wrong I took it on the chin, I didn't make excuses for why things went wrong, I told the clients that I was going to fix it, and never ever did I throw one of my employees under the bus to try and take the heat off of me. That's what I expect. He should be coming on TV tell everyone that all of his people are working hard and that he is going to do everything in his power to right the ship, then do exactly that. These excuses are complete BS, he knows it and anyone paying attention knows it. He needs to get to work or if not that stop throwing people under the bus. With all of Benning's faults I don't recall him ever blaming anyone else when things went wrong, he never through Green under the bus.
  11. All I can say is this is the first management group I remember running the Canucks that has kept pointing the finger at the coach while constantly making excuses for why they are doing a bad job. It's pretty unprofessional if you ask me.
  12. I think the $6.5 million in cap space it the best part of what we get for Brock. Should let us re-sign Bo and Kuz.
  13. I said yes, but maybe I misunderstood the question, do I think we will miss the playoffs yes, will I still watch as many games as I can and hope they make it? also a yes.
  14. If we hold pat with 2 we should have a good chance, but of course we will lose the lottery no matter what.
  15. Depression is the root cause of most addictions if not all, even in professional athletes. Carey is lucky in the sense that he can take time off and get the help he needs, which is unfortunately not the case for most people. Hope he gets better/feels better soon.
  16. Counting carbs is the way to go in my experience, our bodies don't need to consume them so the less we eat the better really as they cause a whole host of problems. It's unfortunate that a lot of peoples diets consist mainly of carbs.
  17. Not sure if they are worse, but so far they aren't any better that's for sure.
  18. I hope so I like the guy and want him to succeed, he's been a little disappointing so far in his career not entirely without reason of course, so there is hope it's just starting to fade a bit.
  19. Personally I think that if we aren't in a playoff position come Christmas we trade anyone 25 or older that can get us a 1st or better in return and start over. This team isn't built in a way that can be easily be fixed otherwise.
  20. Well to be fair Boesers best year was his rookie year 5 years ago so, it does seem a little doubtful he will all of a sudden break out. I would say he needs at least a 65 pt season to make his contract look ok and that seems rather unlikely to happen.
  21. That's the problem with these guys they are looking for the Grand slam trade, instead of a trade that will give both teams what they need. I'm souring on these guys quickly which might seem unfair as I gave Benning a long leash, but to be fair, I was expecting us to suck for most of Bennings ten-year where as I'm now expecting this team to get better but we are just back to spinning our wheels again. I've been watching this team for over 30 years and I think this is the most frustrated I've been with this team. I expect peaks and valleys and can live with them but it's been so long since we had a peak it's hard to take, and really I don't need a peak to make me happy just some sense that the team is improving and heading towards one.
