Ya we just got to ride out the bad contracts

tell that to nucker.

Alex Edler on losing all the UFAs last off-season: Sometimes you lose great players and great teammates, but that's part of the business. That happens on all teams. Things like that, you can't do much about.

--------
Pretty sure only Benning does this. Edler needs to retire, becoming senile.

I got no time for that fanboy. He judges players by the bulge in their hockey pants

Benning tried to buyout a player so he could sign Toffoli. Ownership said no

Every day I’m in here brightens up the conversation. Where else can you go and get these hot takes?

Nowhere K-. I've tried liven up the Flames thread but it's like dancing in a funeral home there most days. Have a ballena of Pacifico for me.

plus, let's be honest, it's ownership who is hiring the sedins not JB.

JB isn't running this team. he's survived this long because he knows how to get along.

I wonder who is not doing the exit interview and is going to be traded. Maybe Schmidt?

🛀 🧂 codes.

That’s a shot at ownership. Benning has been trying to resign them all year and Sutter knows that. Come on you are better than this .
- CanuckDon

yeah im not going to get into the whole FA/Benning debate. Call it ownership, call it management, i don't care, they both need to go. At the end of the day, FA signs the cheques, and Benning issues them.

Now Bo advocating for bringing Green back, how many players have to speak out before ownership listens?

You're talking Sutter here. Green probably only reason he is still in the league.

i dont want Sutter back at all, but if I was a betting man, Benning extends him

You are being dishonest though. The media has mentioned 75 times that Benning wants to bring green back.

What exactly has Bo led us to so far? These guys enjoy playing for Green too much.

Do you want Green back? Just because the players wants something doesn’t make it right. They probably like their cozy country club

and if the players are coming out with these quotes, they know it too so are appealing to the owner.

lucky for us, nobody else in the hockey world can see what's going on!

The mistake Blair made was acting like a professional by relaying potential news to the market via his inside sources. When REALLY, he should've spent his time calling 650 post-game, piss-drunk, crying over Sutter while discrediting and calling his fellow 650 contributors clowns

Blair off sportsnet650 now i read.

I don't understand how he can not look at Sutter's body of work and not realize that he isn't very good. Green also.

Green did play Michaelis in 15 games even though he did nothing in any of them.

Very interesting that Sportsnet 650 is no longer mentioned in Alex Blair's Twitter bio. Wonder if some people were upset with certain tweets about Benning and Canucks ownership

Green has always said the right things, the results have just never been there. Idk if its players execution over 4 years that has been lacking but there had never been a consistent period of time where they looked like the team that Green had talked about.

Willie D has a higher win percentage and the players on his team were not as good as the current one has.

i don't pay attention to canucks twitter and don't listen to the radio so a couple of questions:
1) who is alex blair? i know he was the one who tweeted about canuck changes coming but was he an employee of SN650?;
2) is SN650 the broadcaster of the canucks? seriously, i haven't listened to the radio in years.

i could see the canucks giving pushback against negative media where they can flex their power.

remember brian burke going after print and newspaper journalist's jobs? i seem to recall him flexing the canucks clout against some reporters he didn't like.

All true but green is a much better coach than Willie. I like him. But everyone should be fired 🤷‍♂️

As I said when there was a big kerfuffle about his tweets. "Never heard of this guy and now his is gods word"

VHG knew who he was and he seemed to be the only one.
