Remember the Site Rules vis a vis flaming and trolling.

The rules do not permit those who hated Benning to dunk on / do a victory lap on those who appreciated his tenure.

The rules also don’t permit those who appreciated his tenure flaming or trolling those who didn’t by martyring themselves and/or those who got fired.

Feel free to clinically discuss their tenure and the decisions that lead to their firing. Feel free to engage in polite debate. Rule breakers will be removed from the discussion and possibly be subject to further action.

There goes both the most stupid and worst GM in franchise history. Good riddance to an abject moron.

 

[Flik]

Uh, like, you know.

 

[hellstick]

I still feel ecstatic any time I read that Benning has been fired. We suffered for so long.

 

[valkynax]

JEB still fired, we still party.

And let me add the cherry on top: F*** YOU JEB! 凸=皿=

It’s like We live day to day and uh ya know we live in today and stuff.

There was so much cognitive dissonance around during that time...
Around here...
And even outside in the real world...
That it felt like a twilight zone episode.

I honestly begun to doubt myself...
Before I decided to just not talk about anything Canucks related.
I am just glad that I was not actually crazy.

I hope they do well in their careers/lives after this. Not easy appeasing this owner but maybe all sides have learned the lesson of what not to do.

They didn't learn shit lmao

They had an opportunity - let's face it every day - to reflect on this whole mess and change direction.

Specifically, that 2017-2018 season when the linden rift began and they decided to double down every year in that they believed the heavy lifting was done (which they never actually did they just built bad teams that they thought were good and got high picks because this league rewards losers)

Tell me you're adopted without telling me you're adopted.

Or was it the milkman?

 

[rypper]

I'm still so happy about this.

I refuse to wake up!

I'm afraid Jim Benning & Crew are *STILL* employed and it was all a dream!

I don't really care if Benning et al have learned anything from this; I don't foresee any of the old management team getting hired to an NHL front office again. It's going to be pretty hard to distance themselves from Benning. Even Chris Gear, who was in charge of the RFAs, made some bad moves on that front too and said some ill advised stuff on social media after the firing.

Really, what I care about is FA and the AQ family learning from this. FA tried to play dress-up as a de-facto team president and it blew up in his face. He allegedly veto'ed trades and pushed for signings. He kept JB over Linden because JB sold him the 'quick rebuild' fantasy plan.

Now, we are hearing noises from JR and Allvin of a retool rather than a strip-down rebuild. I think, truly, FA respects JR and will give him autonomy for a while, but how long before he decides he needs to sell playoff tickets and loses patience? Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Let's hope that JR didn't sell FA on a quick fix plan and actually does a thorough evaluation with the team he has hired and makes the prudent moves to get us back to a conference top 4 team in 2-3 years.

Thank you Jim

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Jim Benning wins the award for the person who most closely resembles a giant steaming pile of shit. What a stupid coward he was.

I know. I just wasn’t sure than an eff and ess bomb in the same post could evade punishment. And the ones they hand out here are no joke. Sorry.

Why is this still a thing? It's like talking about an Ex from last year or a TV show that was cancelled. Not trying to be rude...but wtf mang.

This wasn’t a normal failed tenure. This was like call in the rape cops shit.
