TheOgRook Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it me? or does Benning have bad grammar and even worse vocabulary? "Yeah , like & stuff" He's not here to be an English major... What does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 i'm glad to hear him say higgins is glue on this team..i agree with that and is one of the reasons that he is my favorite player.. i don't see them moving higgins, richardson, burrows and matthias until, players come along that can move them off the team. they won't push virtanen, mccann, shinkaruk or jensen onto the team before they are ready...i respect and accept his decisions. he sure knows more about hockey than i do. most of them will be gone by draft day I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Would rather have a guy who gets the job done than a smooth talker. Agreed It's not just you. I noticed that Benning says "you know" at the end of way too many sentences. I think it is probably nerves, dude would obviously rather stay behind the scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think the past couple playoff exists have really damaged the general canucks fan base's understanding of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and how theyre won. When youre in the playoffs, whoever is bigger on paper, Whoever had more points in the REG S. None of thats important as long as you have a smart gameplan and youre willing to work hard for your teammates, which is exactly what weve got. A hard working team that wants to win and a coach that has proven to me in my opinion that he knows what hes doing and how to approach other great teams. St louis? We can beat them. Chicago? Damn rights, history literally throws stats out the window (anyone else praying for a nucks/hawks round 1?) La... Theyre due to be surprised at some point, we used to light quick up, plus the teams motivated to beat them. Wether we win the SCF or lose in the first round, we need to make the playoffs this year and prove that were not an old dog that needs to be taken out back and shot. Go Canucks. I hope the Canucks do make the playoffs and I think the Canucks would put up a tough series for any Western Conference powerhouse..Although,even the most optimistic fan would have a hard time believing we could beat St Louis in a best of seven.

Wed need our key players big time, ideally the ones who played when we swept the blues out of the first round. (Burrows, Bieksa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 TRADE FAIL.....the NUCKS do not need another small forward....they needed a Chris Stewart!!!....WTF.... god if you are one of those people who complains about Kassians consistency... and your wanting Stewart?

St. Louis is one of the few teams i believe the canucks could beat in a best of seven atm. Yesterdays game did not change that opinion for me. They just dont seem to be able to pull off wins against us no matter how bad we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 He may not be the most eloquent speaker, sure. On the other hand, Tortorella could put together a great sentence, but he still had weak communication skills or at least refused to use them in a constructive way. This is a guy that never spoke to our minor league coach once and pissed off a lot of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Benning is the type of guy that begins conversations with other GMs during the season and then gets a deal done in the summertime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Is it me? or does Benning have bad grammar and even worse vocabulary? "Yeah , like & stuff" He is not the most eloquent, which is why players like working with him. I read on a Boston forum about a player there who liked JBs meat and potatoes attitude.

messier's_elbow Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 At some point prior to July 1 I someone will either have to be moved or allowed to walk given that the cap will not increase by much and guys like Mathias and Tanev will be getting significant raises.

Ask a question he actually gives an answer ( unlike others we booted outa here ) Yeah to your last point, I think his lack of smooth talking actually helps the fans there as well. Since he's not so great at acting his way out of a question, he's pretty much forced to just say what he's thinking that second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I wouldn't care if Benning used sock puppets to communicate. Actually I would prefer it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Love his candour and long term vision Also surprised that he has a good sense of humour despite looking so rugged. A good deadline day. Didn't give up too much of the future. PS - Joey Kenward drives me nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAntar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I, for one, am very excited about Baertschi. We are always begging for someone who has potential to become a top 6 guy some day. He has a huge chance to be that guy here. He's got the talent. I think this is gonna end up being a very significant move in a couple years. I feel like we now have two thirds of a potential first line in the future with baertschi and virtanen. Still dunno who well centre them cause I think horvat isn't quite that guy (though he's fantastic, he's more the Bergeron-kes type while we still need the Henrik-krejci type) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
