I was going to comment, and say, “losing so much eventually leads to winning, a Jim Benning story”…..but I think you captured it correctly.

Big test against another really good defensive team tonight in Dallas, they need to beat some of these better teams to prove to themselves they can win against them in the playoffs.

Canucks match up well against Dallas.

Plus no Jake Oettinger for Dallas.

Abby win 5-2 against the Ontario Reign.

Kraken win in regulation over the Kings.

Highlights from the Abby game.

Another great thing Benning did was getting their own AHL club. New Regime getting lots of prospects and players in there now and aligned with the big club.

Dave Hall

Nikita Tolopilo started in consecutive games for the first time in his young AHL career. #Canucks

He stopped 22 of 24 shots to post back-to-back wins and is now 5-1-0 over his last six games.

Goalie controversy!

Yes it’s not a team they have had problems with or historically for that matter.

It’s Vegas, Avs and Kings that they have had issues with and will be the bigger test.

Sure.
Vancouver is 82-87-22-9 all-time against Dallas, including a 35-48-12-5 record on the road.

The teams they actually have a problem with are the East teams. Boston, NyR, Montreal.

The Canucks haven't won a Cup in 53 years, they have problems with every God damned team in the league!!!

They're 49-28-2-7 vs Nashville
39-15-2-9 vs Columbus

16-8 vs STL in the playoffs


So you're wrong. No surprise there.

That turd is somewhere in Mexico, pretending to be happy. I on the other hand start my drive to Sayulita Dec 27th, should be somewhere in Mexico for New Years.

That’s a sweet drive, border crossing is always a poop show
Guadalajara is worth a stop, great city.

Well the East teams would be in a Cup final so yeah they have lost to them all. I’d take that now lol. Though hey you never know they might buck the 53 year losing trend lol.

They beat Dallas and are second overall in the league think they just need to stick to the game plan

It wasn't to be taken literally, just a general statement on their lack of success over the past 53 years. But I'm not surprised it went over your head as you're not a deep thinker.

It went so far over your own head that you didn't figure out I was just playing along with your own stupidity.

Gotta stay strong defensively and take care of the middle of the ice. If you look back over the historical data regarding Goals Against, the teams that win the Stanley Cup are almost always in the top ten in the league in that category.

Here's 20 years worth of data, there are a few outliers in the East who win with offense but defense predominantly wins Championships.

2023 - Golden Knights 229 GA 8th best.
2022 - Avalanche 234 GA 7th best.
2021 - Lightning 147 GA 5th best. (56 game schedule)
2020 - Lightning 196 GA 6th best. (70 games Covid)
2019 - Blues 223 GA 6th best.
2018 - Capitals 239 GA 14th best.
2017 - Penguins 234 GA 15th best.
2016 - Penguins 203 GA 5th best.
2015 - Blackhawks 189 GA 1st best.
2014 - Kings 174 GA 1st best.
2013 - Blackhawks 102 GA 1st best. (48 game schedule)
2012 - Kings 179 GA 2nd best. (Canucks 4th 198 GA)
2011 - Bruins 195 GA 3rd best. (Canucks 1st 185 GA)
2010 - Blackhawks 209 GA 5th best.
2009 - Penguins 239 GA 15th best.
2008 - Red Wings 184 GA 1st best.
2007 - Ducks 208 GA 5th best.
