@CpatainCanuck just found a photo of Benning finding out:

EDIT: Sportsnet650 just carried this as confirmed news, so I’m removing the speculation tag and opening this thread. Certainly hope we aren’t in for a lunch bucket let down of some sort.

In the meantime - celebrate responsibly!

It’s a message board. Why not just tag it as “speculation” and let us chat about it? Lol.

Poor IMac… no scoops for you

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I want to see it in print from Friedman or someone like that. Give it to me already, damn it.

Yay! I love we have a owner who spends money and listens to fans and does give everyone a chance upon failing. Hopefully next time he learns his lesson and fires the management quicker when things go south but still a fan of ownership here. I love Bruce as a signing curious to see who the next manager will be

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That’s just as good for me. f*** yes.

I was *more* fearful of having John Weisbrod as GM than Jim Benning.
