Anyone who's saying that Benning is the worst GM in the league and in Mike Millbury territory should get a slap. But all in all, its probably fine. We are in a rut. Tensions are high Weeded out? So censored then? I don’t think that’s the answer. You can’t just silence every fan you don’t agree with. Theres a lot of fans that are pissed off right now, and rightfully so. Some are just more pissed than others. Likely fans who have been around a lot longer and seen the same problems over and over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seeing opinions that aren’t coming from yes men might do him some good. No way he's paying attention to the noise. If he listened to the masses we'd be through five GMs and coaches by now. Like a yo-yo. Right now the pendulum is near the top of one axis, a few more wins maybe it will swing back, a few losses stick where it still is. Glad better minds are running the show.

Do you honestly believe changing the coach and GM would be an overreaction right now? We’ve been the worst team in the league for the last 5 years…Literally any other franchise would have made a change by now. Glad you’re happy with inaction and being the laughing stock of the league though. Ignorance is bliss I guess. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many 1st overalls did the Canucks draft, or lose position in the lottery? The answer is none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five radio dumb dumbs lead the hate on in Vancouver and then the flying monkeys who are sitting home alone, listening to these narcissistic bozos, spread the hate around. The sports media in Vancouver is now so toxic after years of the same sheizahan, that players don’t want to come to play here.

The sports media in Vancouver is now so toxic after years of the same sheizahan, that players don’t want to come to play here. We don't know if the last paragraph is true. But can say they'd much rather play in a market happy to have them. Hamonic is a great example of that. Was absolutely stoked when he re-signed, last year made it pretty obvious we needed a vet on the R side. Instead he's destroyed by the media. Funny thing. Many wise-men have said throughout the ages, whomever runs the "media" runs the world. Sucks he wasn't ready to play at the start...and sucks Sutter was too. That's ok Benning maybe if we have to play the blame game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling players trash, hoping for a Pit win, hoping for people to be fired.......what a disgusting "fan" base. C'mon mods, how about we make this place palatable for reasonable people Calling yourself reasonable while using an argument of futility is pretty funny. 2 wins in a row against 2 of the 3 teams worse than us in the standings isn't a reasonable person's argument, it's grasping for a blade of grass while about to fall off a cliff. 6-7 solid games where they went 2-4 or 2-5. Yeah, totally unreasonable for people to want change, so toxic to see the 8-14-2 record, 14th in the conference out of 16 with 1 team tied with 2 games in hand and suggest a coaching change. After all this is a team that made the playoffs...wait, what, oh, 2 years ago in a shortened season where they expanded the criteria otherwise it would make 7 out of 8 years missing them. But yeah, toxic as hell for fans not to be satisfied making the playoffs twice in 8 years. We should be happy with 6 playoff misses, 1 round won in 10 years. Relax people, you are being toxic because you dislike losing. Start to like it like stawns the reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these guys are simply discussing what fans are already concerned about then it I have no problem with it. Anyone I have listened to are just exploring the concerns that have already been stated by of fans and digging deeper into them. Those of us who have been with this team for decades and hope to continue to follow them in the future are concerned and I am glafd that there can be a productive conversation on the matter. There may be a few outlets that go too far and get into the personal lives of management and players. I will name names and say that I have tuned out Canucks Army because they often tend to sensationalize, try to make the news and cross personal boundaries with players. These guys never have an original thought or idea of their own and just repeat what they have heard other outlets say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poolmans, Pearsons and Dickensons all passed the analytics tests. That's what we have here. Someone sold Benning on analytics instead of just finding known quantities like the Sutters and Prusts. Hopefully that person is fired along with Benning. I'd rather a useful hockey player over someone the analytics dweebs like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Vancouver media is as toxic in good times as in bad times. I very much think that it had a major influence on the 2011 Cup run. The Canucks are playing for the freakin’ Cup and here they are criticizing our players into oblivion. You know who bought completely into the program that year? Boston. The Boston media, and most people in Eastern Canada cheered for Boston partly because the toxic media spews venom on a National level and it made Vancouver look lame. No one respects the Canucks because the Vancouver media thrives on taking craps on the team. Has nothing to do with whether they are good or bad.

I think AV is more to blame with the whole Luon8o thing and under utilizing Schneider. But I think media played a role as well. They wouldn't let go the 'pumping his tires' thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
