Odjick the Warrior Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Thank you Fransico for doing something your own fans told you to do in the summer and you know how I know that happened because they flew a banner over the city behind a plane and if that didn't raise an eyebrow with your consumer confidence then you should have thought something needed to change before 20+ games in last place behind an expansion team. You sir are a baffoon for thinking you have hockey knowledge and Canuck Nation does not want you trying to be Jerry Jones because the next chant will be "sell the team" to an owner that let's hockey people make hockey decisions. A fan since Linden's rookie year Now the Griffiths family were owners 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Benning was never at fault other than this inability to move on from Green. People can say all they want about how Benning spent to the cap during a supposed rebuild, but those players that he paid for were renowned locker room leaders that were brought in here to safeguard the development of our young players. All roster spots and roles that young players were assigned were earned through merit. Benning's plan worked and the Canucks made the playoffs in 2020 much to the chagrin of Thomas Drance, JD Burke, HFCanucks.com, and a few other disgruntled idiots that shall rename unnamed. Unfortunately for Benning, he became too loyal to Travis Green. Green is a coach that is fine for a developing team but a team on the rise needs an elite coach. Benning simply didn't have the heart to replace Green after the 2020 bubble. As a result, the Canucks struggled even despite Benning's good moves post 2020 bubble. Travis Green turned Nate Schmidt into Caityln Jenner and the Canucks struggled throughout the 2020-2021 season. As promised, all of our bad "transitional" contracts were off the books before this season started. Unfortunately, because of Green, our top young players became our bad contracts. If Green had been replaced post 2020 bubble, we would have played some good hockey in 2021. No point in crying over spilled urine, but Bruce Boudreau is now here and I couldn't be any happier.

YEGCanuck Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 C'mon man, you don't have to stoop to name calling to make a point. It is unecessary and adds nothing to your argument. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unecessary and adds nothing to your argument. the owner needs to learn that the Canucks were not always the most popular team in Vancouver and things were heading that way with the White Caps making the playoffs before the Canucks. He needs to hire people he trusts and let them do their job until he loses trust and not just hope something might happen after nothing pointing that was possible and let it fester and disgraced Travis Green by becoming a dead man walking for weeks when something needed to change weeks earlier. I know I will anger a lot of people but that's who I am and I call it as I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 At least Aquilini stepped up and hired a real coach, something Benning couldn't do successfully. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning was the guy who decided to hire two incompetent clowns to coach the team. We also went to the SCF under this owner. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. This on ice change has more to do with Aqua hiring an NHL coach then firing Benning…. Benning assembled the team we watched tonight…..

VanCan2023 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 21 minutes ago, Odjick 4 Premier said: he had help that is on another team right now Jimbo did enough good, to make up for his bad. Unfortunately that's 50/50. You need more then half for a rebuilding team. Saying that minus defense, this team is loaded up front, with an all-star goalie. Two reasons Bruce hasn't slept well the past 3 nights. Van media & how to get Petty back. Bruce knows this is potentially one of the most talented players he has ever had. I personally believe Bruce has the leadership and small skills to turn him around quickly. Thanks ownership for not hiring the likes of Torts, Babcock, etc. Would have ruined what could be the best player in Canucks history. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
