If you can't boycott the team, at least you can boycott going to the games. Send a message to the management by not spending a dime on their shit.
Let's make the tickets go under $10.
Will you boycott the rest of the season?

No, and for right now the main reason is that I want to see if Virtanen and Leipsic are going to become legit NHL regular forwards, like they both appear to be transforming into. That's entertaining enough for me at the moment.
There's not a heck of a lot else to get excited about right now, though. But hey, there are up times and down times. That's what being a fan of a team is about. No big deal.

This is an overlooked positive of the current regime. A lot of people who didnt go to games because they were too expensive under competent management can instead not go to games because we're terrible under current management.
Personally, I wouldn’t use the word boycott for myself. I’ve watched virtually all the games this year so far. However, what else is there left. It’s supposed to be entertainment after all. Virtanen is a good story I guess, and Bo keeps trucking on. But beyond that, it’s another hopeless finish well out of the playoffs. Will be stat watching on NHL.com pretty much the rest of the way unless Gaudette dons the jersey.
You do realize that there are draft picks available for 2019 as well, I could care less if they don’t get more 2018 picks, load up on 2019 ones.

Wait...
Im confused...
Why are some posters who voted they will boycott the rest of the season from anything Canucks related, still posting on the Canucks board???

Yes, you support THE TEAM, you don't have to support management, it is possible to do both without flouncing around like prima donnas as certain posters do on here.

Funny cause pro Benning crowd are the one that flip flop their statement most frequently.
Benning haters like us, even though we cheer for the tank and boycott the games, we always stand on our own opinion, which is “Lindenning should be fired”

Oh, let me guess
Too many negativities is the reason why this team sucks?
Chanting “Go Canucks Go” is suddenly going to make this team not the laughing stock ?
For someone who voted yes on"boycotting the season" you spend a lot of energy on the Canucks board.
Why are you so obsessed w. " the laughing stock" of the league? Do you lose sleep over that ? What does it matter what other franchises and fanbases think of the Canucks ??
Why do you seek their approval?
In 2011 did you care who was at the bottom and was considered the "laughing stock" of the league then.
I didnt. Not sure why it would matter.

True. If you watch live it is pretty slow team.
Vancouver is also a terrible possession team.
Fans dont want to see a team trapped in their zone for a majority of the game, which vancouver does a lot as they cannot get the puck of their own zone very successful without icing it or shooting it off the glass.

Because they didn't do that, that was something that you added yourself-- the OP gave a very loose definition of "boycott" that didn't involve avoiding everything Canucks related.

We're not renewing our 5 tickets next year, for the first time in close to 20 years... The value just isn't there... nor is their promised future realistic enough to continue to help fund and support. We might get VSO seasons instead. That's how far down the list the Canucks value proposition is to us.
It's up to those who support the direction to now vote with their dollars. Give Benning and co. the vote of confidence they need to sustain their direction longer term. Talk of support online is cheap, and not very helpful in the grand scheme of things... vote a "yes, we support" with your money. It's up to you to keep the building full.

It's a better product this season than the last two years. I say that as a disgruntled, self loathing Canucks fan for at least 20 years. We still have a long way to go, but I do see hope in the horizon. The problem with that is a lot of that hope is based on Pettersson, Gaudette, and Juolevi actually contributing and living up to their potential. An elite franchise d-man like Dahlin is really what this team desperately needs (and has never, ever had). But that's just hoping for lottery balls to fall in our favor.
I'm still at odds with the management group with how they have constructed this team. Pro scouting is laughable, asset management is just bad, and Jim Benning is an utter buffoon. For a multi-million dollar franchise, management should be more direct with their goals and exude confidence. Teams like Detroit have had better regular season success since Benning took over but still have a boatload of draft picks they have acquired. If we're talking about lottery balls falling in our favor, how about acquiring lottery tickets to increase our odds? Success isn't just predicated on 1st round selections (ask Edmonton fans), it's also about finding those later round gems, which seemingly to Benning's credit, he's done a semi-decent job at. It's not perfect but it's a start.

We are all mumps
Canucks have not seen a cent of my money since the 2nd year of the Benning era. Well, I did buy many beers when I went to games but the tickets were free.
Now, I won't even take free tickets at work because the games are so boring. The only way I'll go now if it's box seats for free.
At home, if the game is blacked out on Center Ice, I don't have the desire to go hunt down a stream.
So I guess I'm partially boycotting. I'll still watch when the game is on Center Ice just to see how Boeser and Horvat are doing but it has been months since I've watched a full game.
I guess apathy would be the word to describe it and it's really sad...before the Benning days, I've watched/listened to every single game since the first lockout...either live or a replay or just radio. Now I just don't care and I'm not the only one. The empty seats in the building agree with me:
The product on the ice is absolute garbage and so are most of the players Benning acquired.
And I will only get a new jersey once Benning is canned.
