We had stellar goaltending and Vegas lacked the ability to put anyone away. It caught up with Vegas the next round. Lol ok bud. You think expecting a goalie to play like that indefinitely while the rest of your team is turtle games and generating next to nothing? That screams fluke sorry to tell you. The Canucks would have been done in 5 if Markstrom/Demko had even just been good rather than otherworldly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can say if Tim Thomas had been just ordinary in the Finals, there would be a statute of Gillis in front of the arena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hate the way they play and the culture of losing and excuse making under this regime. Would love to see them gain some self respect as an organization tbh.

HF is where those ones go. B. JT. Miller is trash because Lightning traded him and they won cups after is your theory. By that reasoning, they won the cup because they got Luke Schenn. Or John Tavares is trash because after he left the Islanders, the Islanders improved. C. I could go on but, why bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks made it pretty easy on Thomas and the Bruins all things considered. He played great but it’s not really the same. The Bruins as a team dominated the Canucks in several games, including finals clinching games. The Canucks weren’t even competitive against Vegas. It was literally all goaltending.

whysoserious Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 15 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Benning currently has 7 players on the team who he drafted not 5. Pettersson, Boeser, Höglander, Podkolzin, Hughes, Rathbone and Demko. Another 3 picks are currently in the NHL playing for other teams, McCann, Forsling and Gaudette. He also has an 18 year old in Abby who is a slam dunk to make the team next year. But we won't even count him. Please show me another team that has 10 draft picks currently playing in the NHL starting from the 2014 draft. I'll wait... Edmonton has 10 draft picks playing in the NHL from the 2014 draft. Now show me another GM with a win-loss record as poor as Benning's that hasn't been fired. I'll wait... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhawk Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: If Gillis was such a great GM, taking over someone else's team to try and win a Cup, then why hasn't any other team even bothered to hire him in the last 8 years? Don't really good GM's usually find new jobs with other teams after they've been fired? I'm confused as to how a player who leads his team in scoring can be considered trash. Can you enlighten me on how that works? Dont know man but he won two president's cups, GM of the year and one game away from the cup. He went all in and jeopardized our future, couldn't draft worth a damn but again he was one game away from all of that being forgotten. His attitude is trash and it can affect a team. If you're surrounded by negative people it will have a negative impact. He quit last year, he barely tried I hope you're right and I hope he puts his head down and works hard every night, without the antics.

They don't give the Conn Smyth for good performances imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
