My mom was a nurse all her life and 2 weeks before her retirement the doctor she worked with cut her (frank)ing bowels with a simple gall stone operation and the bile leaked out and poisened her and did nothing and no opologies just a cover up is that funny or how about my dad at 43 years old they cut his spinal cord on another simple operation and by the time he died at 61 he had 12 pills he took daily had 2 strokes the 3rd one killed him, he couldn't talk and could only use one arm for 2 years is that funny.

The team will never improve until we have new ownership. The only real options as fans are to be a coward and find a new team to cheer for, or just enjoy watching hockey knowing that we won’t have a championship in our lifetimes. I’ll choose the latter. The Stanley cup doesn’t mean as much to me as many other fans. I just like watching puck

Edit. Don’t be hysterical

Every time I throw shade at Benning and back it up with stats it's labeled hysterical by his supporters. Sort of ironic the response no?

Yes!!!!! But we need a rich owner that isn’t involved. They don’t grow on trees sadly. Maybe if the Pfizer gang teamed up we could buy the team.
- CanuckDon

FA has not worried about putting money into the team. They are normally up against the cap. Allocation of the budget though with a small front office. Rookie GMs and coaches. The things he skimps on a bit sometimes looks like it hurts the on ice performance.

We don't really know what Jim has to work with or if he has freedom or not.

No, it wasn't. Quite the deflection there.
- manvanfan


Don't be sensitive, I wasnt deflecting anything. Comparing past GMs to Benning is pointless. No Canuck GM has ever got us a cup, some closer than others, but ultimately if you don't get your team a cup, it's a failure of your job. Benning is in there now, so judging and critiquing his body of work is what we are doing.

If I wanted to get hysterical with you I'd bring up Pfizer or Moderna donny, or that your pool pump has a nice surprise waiting for you in the filter

23 players on a team. You do the math with 1 first round pick per year given to you.

Even if you get 2 good players out of each draft.

- manvanfan


I guess what I'm getting at is just not sticking.

Benning seems to do a good job at drafting, for the most part his top 10 picks are successes. The rest of the picks are hit and miss with some good ones in there. He's been trying to build a winner his entire tenure here. He's been collecting more and more top 10 picks because he sucks at building a team through trades and signings.

Also, it would take 12 drafts if it's a first rounder + another pick that makes it. Don't even need some trusty paper to do that math on.

For the people who support Benning don't you get tired of defending almost every move he makes while being a bottpm 5 team for roughly 7 years? It's just confusing to me.

Talk coach owner whatever don't care Benning is running the ship for the most part and Holy crap is he terrible.

He wouldn't even look at the camera in his zoom interview what 2 weeks ago. I understand that doesn't matter for his ability to run a hockey team but because he's failed so far I'm sure effected the way he did that interview because man oh man does he suck.

Last gm got fired cause we couldn't win a cup

This gm can barely keep us out of last place

Not saying hire Gillis but I am saying remove Benning and try again

Just trying to wake the masses from thier dream spell, I've known about these times for decades and I've been warning people that long. The 1% have so much money and power the only way to stop them from turning us into slaves is to wake the (frank) up and stand up for yourself. Nurses are quitING in droves and speaking out so people better start researching natural remedies and cures it's all there. Every leaf has a cure.

There's a cure for a constant first round exit?

It's been noted that Shanahan and JB took over at the same time. So.... ya.
- NewYorkNuck

Has it also been noted that they were rebuilding for a decade before that? It's also worth noting how much mlse invested in management. Pres, gm, advisor, multple agm... they've done well but they also paid for good management

Whoever takes over is going to have a great core to build around even if theyve sucked for 7 years though

This I could partially agree with. A non-meddling owner would be great. lol

I think everyone seems to forget that Linden was MG’s replacement and he was the one who hired Benning. They should have kept Benning but a found a credible replacement for Linden who could prevent him from messing up the things he sucks at.

He certainly is lacking in his trading and signings. His leash for building the rest of the club has grown short.

Gillis and Nonis had 10 years and came up with 2 players really. They might have made the playoffs but zero long term success.

Dream to find the perfect GM. A lot look good because of multiple lotto pick wins now a days. Van may have to try other methods.

I was given the authority to let you into that gang, which I currently haven't done yet.
You said you were going to do some things to impress me, which so far you have done none of those things, so please stop with the we shit.
