Master Mind Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I liked hearing his thoughts more than many of the other analysts. A shame he's leaving, but can't fault him for wanting more family time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was negative over Benning's tenure because it was mostly a tire fire. It's his job to analyze what he sees, not pander to insecure fanbases. Yeah he was telling the Canucks to rebuild as early as anyone. Some people here just didn't want to hear it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an excellent analyst v/v hockey but just ground the Nux every chance he got. Saying our team was trash when the team was trash isn’t anti-Canuck. That is the same as the sad sacks here who get all bent out of shape when media give pre-season projections of the Canucks missing the playoffs. The fact that those predictions keep turning out to be right seems lost on folks… because they are convinced the media treats us unfairly. Definitely anti-Benning by the end but that was well earned and shared by every non homer. Even his radio hits he always made it clear the Canucks were a team he would want to join in some sort of front office capacity. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, with Cammi in the FO, they can tie what Francesco & JB created ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get the Roussel and Beagle signings and it did turn out to hurt the Canucks cap wise I remember he said he didn't see Virtanen as a top 6 player and saw him more as Jannik Hansen. People here ripped on him. Funny enough he was also wrong but I bet people here would have been happy if Virtanen ended up being as good as Virtanen instead of what he turned out.
