Pre-Game Talk: 2019-20 Pro-Team Tank Thread - The Final Countdown?

So you figure he'll do it again? He would look even more foolish than even I think he is and that's something. It mystifies me why so many posters here cut him so much slack, he is clearly a rich, entitled brat.

I’ve been anti-Aquilini for years. Back when people like Bonose were defending him. He’s an idiot owner no doubt, but I don’t see how Benning survives another year.

 

[y2kcanucks]

0-2 and shutout already. Excellent, excellent.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Same problem as last year, not anywhere near enough offensive firepower.

Hopefully this means that in the future the next GM will overcompensate and load up on offense.

Who doesn’t love watching lots of goals?

In addition to losing, it would be beneficial if we continue to struggle scoring.

Team is capped out

0-2 and shutout already. Excellent, excellent.

Both losses against division "rivals". I'm like what I am seeing.

 

[The Drop]

They won’t be this bad going forward but wow do they look bad.

Lack of skill. Lack of speed. Lack of coaching.

I’m glad they don’t realize they’d be better off with Goldy and Baertschi instead of Schaller and Eriksson

 

[TruKnyte]

0-82 here we come!

Simply a coach playing not to lose instead of playing to win, which we see all over the league especially on teams that don't have a great roster on paper. Be conservative, try to limit chances both ways, and hope you get a lucky bounce and/or your goalie stands on his head.

With Eriksson scratched, watching the game was almost relaxing.

They had nobody on the team that actively raises my blood pressure.

That 5 on 3 didn't raise your blood pressure? Can I have some of whatever you're on?

It did. It did...

But Gudbranson and Eriksson do something special to my mental health.

Just noticed that Guddy is tied for first on the Pens in +/- with a +3 (yes I know it's early but...). As for Loui, one game and he's THE problem with this team in the opinion of many even though when you mention how terrible Boeser is playing those same people say "hey, it's only 2 games". Man I love this place...

I agree. Loui was fine vs Oilers. Im sorry for cursing Boeser.

Schaller raises mine...

I love that every big signing Benning does flames out. Eriksson, now Myers...

And how someone defended this as a playoff team?

If a 4th line winger, who is overpaid by 1 mil and plays ~9mins per game, is our worst problem, we should be in pretty good shape.

 

[UK Canuck]

how long will Green last this year you think? Elmer's idiotic offseason will force his hand at some point into doing something about the awful coach, otherwise he'd stick with him like he does with all his other idiotic decisions

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Last night was complete ass. I've reached the point of cheering for the Canucks to lose as painfully as possible because that's the only thing that will save this damned franchise.

If you see, I didn't said he is our worst problem, just that he boils my blood. And those are the most undeserved 9 minutes per game on our team.

 

[MadaCanuckle]

Right now, the cheerleaders are starting to turn upon him. So, come December, if he's out of a playoff spot, he's out.

 

[Lindgren]

I'm already discouraged that none of the other relevant games have gone to extra time.

I don't think I'm going to enjoy this season much.

 

[VanillaCoke]

 

[canucksfan]

Problem is, if Green gets fired that likely means Benning doesn't.

 

[dwarf]

How can that be, HE OWNS THE FREAKIN TEAM!

The outcry from the bandwagon bettys, will be fire his duff.

 

[Hemty]

10 losses before 5 wins please.

 

[bossram]

Unfortunately, Schaller is far from being the biggest problem with the team.

Myers has "flamed out" in two games? Wow...
