danjr Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Losing season after season, without a sniff of the playoffs. With seasons getting worse and worse, when forward progress is expected. So many previous franchise had players wanting out en masse. How long is it until our players absolutely give in with the management and coaches. Seeing that they could care less about the state of the team. You can see player frustrations. Some of it started with themselves. Now they see it as a team wide thing, no one is helping anyone else to be put in a position to succeed. Garbage line combinations, line blender, pathetic strategies, or lack thereof. When do the players start to check out and absolutely sour on our team and never want to play here again? In all my years of following this franchise, I have never seen it so demoralized from the top to the bottom, and the fans just done.

DefCon1 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Benning should be fired after this season. He has put this team back in the rebuild with his bad moves from not signing Tanev and Toffoli, to re signing coaches and players like pearson. Benning didnt re-sign the right players and signed the wrong players in Dickenson, Poolman, Pearson etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day you give up on the franchise, you shut off the TV and find a new hobby. Now, the owners in charge however, can change the strategy. In the Canucks' case, both Horvat and Miller should be traded immediately so that...... 1) We can acquire elite prospects (Braden Schneider and Anton Lundell come to mind for me, but there are obviously many others out there). 2) We can tank this season and land Shane Wright, Conor Geekie, or whomever. 3) We can replace both Benning and Green. Julien/Budreau/Babcock replaces Green + maybe Mike Gillis is rehired as GM. 4) On July 1st 2022, UFA's will look at our team and see it as a team with an extremely bright future built on a new foundation. ps - If any player gives up on the franchise, you ship him or "her" out immediately.

Quantum Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I won't give up on these "franchise" players until they prove to be duds with new management/coaching at the helm. It's become increasingly clear that this group has no faith in management to help build a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think even just for team identity purposes, setting expectations, and having culture of accountability and consequences, you can’t just continue to leave this current regime intact, both management and coaching, when you have this shocking a product on the ice. Regardless of whether or not Green is a “good coach” or Benning is a “good manager,” both of their jobs are ultimately judged by results. They are failing. Badly. Embarrassingly. Soul crushingly. It’s time for a change. (It’s actually been time for a while now.) Some of the very best coaches and GMs in the history of the NHL, Hall of Famers and absolute legends of this game, have rarely, if ever, been given this long a leash. Head Coach and GM aren’t lifetime positions in the NHL. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot are just going through the motions right now, at this point but m disgusted with all the players as they shouldn’t be this bad. If coaching is their issue why doesn’t someone step up and talk to the media about it, if it’s a locker room issue then bring it out in the open.... somebody do something ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
