Why I don't want the Canucks winning the Cup this year
the grinder replied to EP40.'s topic in Canucks Talk
0r the 12 team league heck there should be an asterisk against all Montreal cup winners when they had exclusives rights to all Quebec players or when the 1st round only had 5 games not 7 better asterisk those cup winners too , better asterisk the Dallas cup win against buffalo too while we are at it -
Why I don't want the Canucks winning the Cup this year
the grinder replied to EP40.'s topic in Canucks Talk
the asterisk thing is bs , there was only like 10 regular season games left hence the play in round they are playing 4 rounds of a 7 game series so it will be like any other playoffs except no fans and no travelling , so you rather not see any playoff hockey then? every one is fresh , full rosters , maybe few guys still recovering from injuries if anything it going to be harder to win a cup this year . -
lol One of the first things GMJB did was hire Green to run Utica and you even said you like Green as a coach
-
so this comes back to the miller trade and the toffoli trade basically , miller and the 1st , miller is a player the canucks were seriously lacking , size. grit and scoring, and under contract , toffoli good pick up for the spot we were in with Boesser going down . , All teams have to let players go for free that's why its called free agency lol , you don't see teams in hunt for the playoffs trade away pending free agents , if the kings were in the playoff hunt they would of never traded toffoli
-
JB has laid out a plan , the plan is to have 6 to 8 young players that have been drafted or already in the system in the line up over the next 2 years , Hoglander .Podi Big Mack Rafferty Lind, etc . JB has also said wants to sign Trymakin, , resign Marky Toffoli and Tanev and try and recoup a draft pick if he can , sounds like plan right ?

(proposal) My Vancouver offseason
the grinder replied to Nicklas Bo Hunter's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
I think some players will be more willing to take short term contracts over the next year till things settle down a bit , owners have taken a huge losses and won.t be handing out big free agent contracts, so a lot of free agents may have no choice but to sign 1 or 2 year deals till things change for the better , just cant see another team shelling out 6 million to marky the way things are going , there is no fing way sutter is going to the sharks lol , you cant buy out a recapture penalty and your draft vison, all I can say who needs judd -
the point ? it was a missed call not sure why you would try and dispute that fact , insult? I just referred to your name and said you were funny lighten up eh
-
lol your whole post is about , the ref missing a 2 minute penalty on 2 delayed penalties when a goal is scored ,and your saying it a not a missed call lol , your funny and have the perfect name
-
I do believe there is video of it happening .as messier kicks him in the ribs and then punches him
-
umm you made your post about a missed call aka not getting a rule right but any ways CFAB er's ( Canuck Fans Againist Bettman) lets seize Stanley park in protest and threaten to topple lord Stanley statue if the nhl wont hear our grievances lol
-
you just figured this out now? after 26 frigging years ?? never mind game 7 how about at the end of game 6 where messier was literally kicking the crap out of linden when he was down , no call no nothing the fix was on from there

[Report] Canucks to part ways with Judd Bracket
the grinder replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
so with Brackett he has been with the Canucks for a total of 12 years ,so who did Brackett exactly draft in those 6 years before Benning arrived? any of those players make an impact on the Canucks? So then Benning arrives promotes Judd after firing a few scouts , and now Brackett gets all the glory for drafting all the players ?,then after 5 years Judd demands more control over the scouting department and its Benning fault for not caving in to the demands of a guy he promoted . so I guess we can blame those bust draft picks like Juolevi on Brackett then , right Benning haters -
you know what Benning plan is? get to the playoffs aka known as playing games that mean something and get the young core experienced in playoff hockey , ya he traded a first round pick for miller , but you know miller brings ? play off experience and that bit of cockiness , yep traded a 2nd and madden for Toffoli , guess what Toffoli brings secondary scoring and a cup , Beagle faceoffs and a cup, Rousell grit and experience , myers size and experience . , Ferland ,unfornately the concussion issues are sad but playoff Ferland is what the Canucks were looking for .; with some of salaries yes it is a problem but some of those players will be gone ,in the next 2 years and we can put some high price players on the expansion list as well . So some free agents wont resign , every single team cant resign all their free agents plain and simple and playoff teams don't trade free agents 90% of the time . Markstrom , yep he is 30 with no playoff experience and we haven't resigned him yet , so maybe gets a 1 or 2 year contract because he doesn't want to go any where Ottawa has a plan ? lol lets build a arena 45 mins out of town kinda of planning? suck and lose for the last 3 years , what happens if Ottawa doesn't get 1st over all? would that not be a failed plan ? you actually think Melnyk is going to spend all that cap space? how many draft picks did Edmonton have over last 8 years ? hows buffalo doing with all those picks , yep as A Canuck fan we are lucky the Aquillini.s own the Canucks , because it was their call to go for the playoffs till the sedins retired , FA is a hands on owner you can bet everything gets his stamp of approval before it happens . so with that being said you can blame FA for not tearing it down and rebuilding , because when torts uttered those words ' the core is stale " FA sure didn't listen . No owner wants to be shown up so no rebuild till the sedins retire

[Report] Canucks to part ways with Judd Bracket
the grinder replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
oh no a scout isn't coming back , oh no dim jim is ruining the team , oh no we wont be able to draft any good players again , oh no the sky is falling , don't ya think maybe bracket wanted to go in a different direction in his career , but no , it is just benning fault , you probably blame benning for covid if you could -
no team has resigned any big name roster players , the only players that were" signed" haven't got their contract approved by the nhl yet . You cant expect jim benning to come out and make a definite plan. First of all the season hasn't even been completed yet , Second your guessing , sure you can guess all you want but with out the actually facts of the cap going forward , it is a guess . You really think a GM wants to come out and just guess in front of the media ? I am sure benning has a plan but till the season/ playoffs is completed you can just keep on guessing till the nhl comes out with a definite plan in place
-
ya ok benning is in a fog right now and vague about the cap , so are the other 30 teams and the nhl right now, , what other gm has gone out and told their plan going forward during covid ?, not one , hell they don't even know how the playoffs are going to work or the draft , The NHL will have to figure out the cap going forward first , maybe there will be a buyout or 2 available , till that is decided , your gonna have to deal with the lip service
