A fair portion of Benning supporters show negativity toward Green, Baumgartner, Brown, etc at every which way you turn. It's never been about "the team" or about preserving the positivity. The people here are happy to rag on individuals so long as it fits their agenda and protects the GM. Things that aren’t true and greatly exaggerated for $500 Alex 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targeting someones wife that has nothing to do with the job their husband does is a completely different thing to me. If they flew a banner saying his teenage daughter is the reason Benning should be fired I would feel the exact same way about that. But they didnt. Totally disagree. The people who blamed Gaudette’s and Tryamkin’s wives felt it had everything to do with their husband’s jobs. Flying the banner was just a public display to show disapproval, exactly the same as the people who posted about the actions of the two wives. All three were amounted to public shaming to try to further their points of view and all three were hurtful to their families. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Devron Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 Basically how every Canucks Talk thread turns out these days... There’s literally a “7 years blah blah blah something about brass thread” Don’t get it. Same argument, same people.

When things effect people’s families it’s not right. What makes the stuff with Benning right but with people’s wives wrong? Both are wrong imo. I am struggling to find what he’s getting at. I know Wallstreet doesn’t think the world of Benning but maybe he just feels left out or something on his point of views. Not enough other people agree with him? It’s like he thinks there’s two sides or something. Like if you are a Benning supporter your also this or vice versa. I don’t know, I can’t figure it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 After listening to this interview a will bet you that the Canucks do very little in this off season. The playoff talk is for season ticket drives. They will have minimal cap space even with some buyouts Jim says they will look at everything. Yet he says that they will not be high end players. Today he said that many of the holes that need to be filled could be done internally. LOL I think management realizes their screw ups and they know that fans will have no tolerance for more of the same. This may be a very cautious aggressive off season.

Vinny in Vancouver Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 8 hours ago, Maddogy said: J.B. is at the very least an average G.M. The problem then is if you fire him, how certain are you that you can find someone better? We've seem a a lot of teams that go through changes in management and coaching staff and they are still underwhelming. People think that if you fire a G.M., someone better will magically show up. If you quit your job, a better job is just around the corner. If you divorce your spouse, your soul mate is waiting at the altar for you. Yes but at what level of certainty? The risk is, if J.B. is fired they may hire someone that really end up ruining the rebuild and screw up this generation of Vancouver Canucks. Average will never win you a championship in sports. People are not paying a lot of money just for average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) reading the posts in this thread and im..... Glad to hear people are sick of Negative Nancy reporting and media chaos starters. Whiners are just annoying and are just cancers to a Teams mental health. Which is the roots for a never ending losing environment.

Popular Post ilduce39 Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) I thought that was a good interview all around (as JB interviews go) - D and D asked a bunch of pointed questions and Jim answered about as honestly as I think he could. Clearly they believe this year was more of an aberration and they’re closer to the “bubble Canucks” and willing to give it another go. Interesting to hear the Sedins are going to get immersed in the whole business end - I don’t think you go to green guys for immediate help - but investing in those two seems a good long term move. I have to laugh at the jackals spinning around justifying their overboard crusade against Benning on here and in the Twitter comments - I’m fully convinced the little fraternity where they make the same 3 jokes over and over crapping on management means more to them than their “fandom” of the team (half of them have publicly jumped shop to the Kraken - just go already).

All three were amounted to public shaming to try to further their points of view and all three were hurtful to their families. The difference is the hypocrisy I was actually talking about. Benning earned the criticism he gets himself. No one is protesting his wife or calling her down or blaming her for his mistakes as a GM. The evidence used against him by his detractors - whether you agree with it or not - is still directly related to his work and his issues. Blaming Gaudette's or Tryamkin's wife, especially with no evidence they had anything to do with how things ended up, is just misplaced anger from a group of people looking for excuses to justify laying 100% blame on the player and his family to avoid any criticism of Benning. Those are two different scenarios. Protesting the job a GM does and personally and publically slandering and verbally attacking wives of hockey players to further your narrative are two different things. Anyone who cant see which one is worse simply doesnt want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
