That would be a good start.
- Marwood

Yes, it would.

Seen this on Twitter.

Auston Matthews scored 0 points last night. If he keeps up this pace he will end up with 0 points at the end of the year.

It made me laugh.

5-2 Oilers....McDavid with six points #MVP

I've felt that way for the last 2 seasons, I only watched the medal games from the Juniors. I'm starting to find hockey boring unless it's the Canucks and they're sucking.

Looks like the franchise will survive if you don't watch the games.

I don't know what he said but he's right.

He talks a lot about how they need to right the ship immediately so they don't lose Green to Seattle.

He said the teams top players have been playing better lately but sub-par goaltending and lack of talent beyond the top few players is hurting the club. Also, that it would take a miracle for them to be a playoff team as they'd have to win eight of their next ten games just to get back in it. Apparently he's a fan of Travis Green as well???


Title: "Forget results, the Canucks have too much at stake to keep wasting time"

"Hopefully for the long-suffering fans in Vancouver, the Canucks don’t run out of time and lose a competent, hardworking coach whose ability to maximize what he’s given has served to obscure just how thin — and downright dreadful, frankly — this Canucks roster actually is.

It tells you everything you need to know about this club’s problems, for example, that when Sutter opened the scoring on Sunday — the direct result of a fortunate bounce off a stanchion – it was the first goal the Canucks received from a bottom-six forward at even strength since Feb. 2.

Over 20 days and eight games, as The Lotto Line got going and the club found their five-on-five game, the club’s luxuriously expensive bottom-six forward group was outscored 9-0 at even strength; a grim testament of how much the club’s current problems are of their own design."

How many of his own goals is he going to assist on?

Also if they lose another couple games they need to sell now because waiting till the trade deadline is for suckers.


I did find the stats he threw out at the start interesting in a sad way. Canucks have outshot their opponents by 47 in the last 2 weeks and they have the largest expected goals margin in the NHL during that time

Generational talent's can do that, just for the record

- NorthNuck

Yup, that too: basically Benning has not been a proactive long term thinker in this regard.

SN650 also carry the Larchat or whatever they are called. I heard it for about 5 minutes. Radio broadcasting has sure gone downhill.
- VANTEL

Yeah, those guys make the homers here look like team whiner.

Also the quality is terrible. I assume they are literally broadcasting from their mom’s basement.

I listen to him and J Pat’s podcast and he is generally a very positive, optimistic guy, but sometimes when someone passes him a drum he beats the crap out of it.

Also, his laugh is among the most annoying in the history of laughs.

I keep seeing William Eklunds name popping up as a player to watch in this draft. I think Canucks have to take the best center or best Dman

Today is the halfway mark of the season.

Even with a losing record, the Canucks are not sellers.

At best he's a procrastinator.

how long do you think the Dmen drafted in 2019 draft take to make the team?
