Spamming with the same picture of JB over and over is another. People would get much more respect if they WOULD present their opinion and reasons why rather than it just being a hatefest with the same stuff spewed over and over. As a side note, I try very hard to present my opinions without personally attacking whoever I am talking to or disagreeing with. My posts are generally based on my opinions and perceptions and I try to provide detail. Do you ever look at how many times I get an insulting meme or just a straight up insult in response? People who support Benning dont care if you present your opinion in a respectful way or not, thats my experience. They just run out of ways to argue the points and start insulting. People should respect each other and respect differing opinikns but the really dont on either extreme side unfortunately. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be a lot better next season, and for many seasons to come. Benning has built the backbone of a really good team. W3 are still maturing. But look at the key pieces. Petey, Bo, Miller, Bess, Pearson, Hogs, Pods Hughes, Bone, Schmidt, Myers, OJ. Demko, Dipietro That’s a very good group to build around. 6 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol no it’s to appease all the negative posters in here to let them know that the “ fire Jim Benning banner” was ok and to apologize for being soooo terrible at their jobs. I hope the presser goes smooth I don’t know if I can take Farhan, JPat and Drance asking the usual dumb questions.... tomorrow starts the mend so we can finally push this season away and start looking forward to next season.

Devron Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 7 minutes ago, wallstreetamigo said: Fair enough. But how is posting an unflattering picture of Benning to insult him any different than people posting idiotic memes to insinuate another poster is dumb or calling other people with different opinions stupid or any other such insult that generally accompanies replies to differing opinions by some of the who's who on here? They are not told to "tone it down" or stop insulting people. They get upvoted for their insults actually, sometimes by mods. I saw one extreme pro Benning guy (we all know who he is) the other day so upset by a banner getting flown to fire Benning that he publicly said the guy who did it was severely mentally ill, etc. Not as in calling him a name but presenting it as fact. If you are pro Benning that is acceptable behaviour here? The hypocrisy is what is most irritating. Had a poster called Benning mentally ill like that a firestorm of crap would have reigned down on him. If someone calls him Dim Jim, I see that as similar. The rules of decency have zero to do with being pro Benning or anti Benning. Or at least they should. Why do we have to be pro or con anything, We are all labeled now as such? Some people are just trying to voice their opinions. Unlike you amigo who has some moments of seeing things from both sides. There are posters here just trying to rake havoc. They have tunnel vision on the whole thing as far as trying to make Jim Benning not just a bad GM but a bad person. Posting tweets about Taj all the time. Have you actually looked at his Twitter, the guy is a joke. Yes I called him a name. He’s not a poster here but somehow he ends up all over these forums. He’s not an insider or anything. Just some dude getting posted like it’s “news”. Then you have guys that constantly complain and nag with little to no substance. They just seem miserable af. Is that really what they are or are they trolls, haters? What are they? Just someone with an opinion? Some of these posters you are referring to aren’t about having an opinion on something. They are anti-something. Some post for a reaction and others are obsessed with their enemy. In this case Jim Benning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 1 hour ago, VegasCanuck said: Please read! Everyone wants to take this out on Benning and Green, but the fact is, the Canucks started this season with the worst schedule of any team in the NHL. With no exhibition games to get everyone playing the right way, they played the first 37 games, including multiple back to backs and 3 games in 4 nights. By March 25th, they had played anywhere from 3 - 8 games more than ANY other team in the league. Through that 37 game stretch, they had One break of 3 days and Two breaks of 2 days and all the others were 24 hours or less, often while traveling between cities. They hit their break totally exhausted, then the whole team got Covid. Contrary to what a lot of fans think, although the team was no longer testing positive when they resumed played, they were not "OVER COVID". If you have severe symptoms, you're talking 4 - 8 weeks or longer to fully recover from it. So, they come back from what should have been a nice rest, rejuvenated and ready to take advantage of some other exhausted teams. Instead, they are trying to force themselves to compete while they are still recovering. They are expected to play the remaining 19 games in 32 nights, which is totally stupid, even if you're not just recovering from something that can take months to recover from. Through that stretch, they again had a maximum of 24 hours off in between games to rest and or practice. So, to sum up, The Canucks played a 56 game schedule with the bare minimum practice time, then One 3 day break, Two, 2 day breaks and the rest was, off for 24 hours, except when they were trying to fight through and recover from Covid and not training. Oh yeah, and we were without our best offensive player for more than half the year and finished with injuries to about 40% of the team. I am TOTALLY shocked that we did as well as we actually did. While some "fans" are slamming the team, I'm really impressed with their drive to continue and to do as well as they actually did, I'm surprised they weren't in a hard competition with New Jersey and Buffalo for the worst overall record. For sure! It’s why it makes sense they’re giving JB and Green another go round despite it being completely counterintuitive after this brutal season. Im sure it’ll be spun a million different ways to suit various narratives but it could really be seen as a serious vote of confidence from ownership to rally around for this group. Time will tell I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ohmy Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Oh my. I can't believe the fairweather fans. Go cheer for the Kraken, just proves you were never truly a real fan of the Canucks. You guys don't get your way and have a GM or coach fired when you want so you pout like children. Get real people that just shows you're softer than warm butter. My kids more mature than that. Guarantee you the kids at hospice enjoyed watching their favorite team play. I'm sorry you all lived long to be so pessimistic. Literally 99% will jump on the bandwagon again if we have success next year. With all due respect, piss off. This is my team, will always be my team, and when we win the cup one day I will know in my heart who the tough people are on this forum. Life's a lot harder than a game so smile you crazy Canucks. 6 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a favourite restaurant but they get a new manager and, over time, things go downhill.....overpriced, quality is diminishing, changing the dishes to new ones....just overall sliding in your opinion. You no longer like it. Do you keep going back and yelling and screaming? Or...do you look for another option? Because, over time, it just ruins the experience for others if you don't. Weak analogy.

I don't agree with your POV or your salty/sour posts most of times, but it's always good to have counterviews. I'm sure there are many who don't agree with my POVs and have thrown me on their ignore list. In our world of the world wide web, it is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, there have been some things that cross the line. POV about JB and his role here? Fine. But to be sharing pictures of the guy grocery shopping on his own time? Crosses the line for me. I've lost some tolerance for it as a result. We all like memes and stuff that's fun and silly....but some of it is very mean spirited and JB is part of the team until he isn't. When it carries on like a witch hunt it's overkill. I totally get why people are fed up with him and feel he has to go - I respect that. Just don't be stalking the guy because that's just going too far. Even flying banners around the city...this reflects on all of us. It's become a bit of a circus and I don't really enjoy that part of it. I can't imagine what it's like for those actually living it. I remember when the Bertuzzi stuff went down...it was the same (circus type coverage). The final straw for me was seeing a reporter (Ted Cherneck...I'll never forget it) standing in the middle of Bert's front yard of his home with his TV camera crew. The curtains were all drawn for privacy. I mean, they had kids. Sometimes things go too far. Some lose sight of the fact that this is a sport - a job. Passion and emotion are fine, until they're targeted in a mean spirited way that becomes relentless. Strays beyond sharing opinions. Human beings are involved. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
