I should try not to use it as much in writing I guess. No Worries Bud. Just kidding. I don’t mean to be that guy that takes offence to everything.

Some media members - being fairly dumb - continued to immediately ask questions of that nature. He wasn't trotted out there to speak on behalf of the team on this issue and he made that clear to anyone who isn't stupid. The team released a statement and that was all that was necessary at the time. Fair enough, that’s exactly how I feel. Unfortunately the media and noisy fans don’t agree. Not that we should have a President just for this reason though. Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver are the only teams that I could find where the position was listed as vacant. In addition I would say that communication is not one of JB’s strongest points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were true then you would have nothing to be constantly negative about. All your negativity about everything Canuck gets very tiring to those of us that just appreciate that we actually have an owner that stepped up and bought the team and is an avid fan of the Canucks. You must be the life of a party with all the negativity you constantly spout out.. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) So I was watching yesterday's game and @Alain Vigneault was bitching in the GDT, but said he wasn't gonna be watching. LOL. What a character. He missed out on the four goals of the third period. Edited May 19, 2021 by Dazzle 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt great in identifying NHL talent, but is great in drafting. We can win a cup but under a different GM not the one who lets a 28 goal scorer walk for $4 mil/year. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCon1 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Shekky said: Yeah glad he is being given the opportunity to see his plan through he needs to not be afraid to give up a draft pick to dump some bad salary though. I rather keep the picks at this point rather than give up picks for 1 year of bad contract. That should have been done last year to keep Toffoli and maybe Tanev. Too late now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wallstreetamigo Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 I criticize Benning a lot but if he is staying no one wants him to become the GM we need more than me. I can simultaneously criticize him and root for his success. Dont let me down Jim. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 To quote Jared McCann..it is what it is. I’ve been wishy washy with Jim over the years and have praised his drafting but loathed his UFA signings and overall asset management. Next year, if the Canucks stumble and miss the playoffs in what’s lining up to be a dogsh*t Pacific Division then lord help him. Until then, I’m looking forwards to seeing Podkolzin, further growth from Petey, Hughes, and Hoglander. On the flip side, I cant help but wonder how the f**k the Canucks could ever keep pace with any single one of these playoff teams given what I’ve seen thus far in these playoff games. It’s been fantastic, fast, hard, physical hockey with is everything the Canucks aren’t. Here’s to hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he is bad at nhl talent as of late Miller has been really good for us, Schimdt has been crimanlly underrated here, hamonic ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
