GDT: Canucks Season-End Media Availability with Jim Benning, Travis Green

[Canucker]

Yes its quite the significant personal accomplishment.

So you think its ok to celebrate the Cup with all the Palestinian and Israeli children getting killed right now? Wow...no words.

I don't understand your logic.

 

[Peen]

I don't understand your logic.

He’s using your logic and you’re trying to act
as if you don’t understand it to avoid being seen as a hypocrite.

You’re making it about morals while you ignore that you’re about to pump thousands of dollars into the farm team and the canucks on tickets, food, etc. when that money could be donated to help Palestinians. (I don’t actually care what you do with your money - this is just an example of your logic being used against you)

I’m just not ____ enough to tell people how they should use their money/spend their time, but that is the logic you are using.

I’m ready for the “Please leave me alone. Thanks” deflect response now.

I do donate money to charitable causes I agree with! Thanks for inquiring!

I'm sorry you disagree with my position, and I still maintain that a physical protest is a bad look. Seems we are at an impasse. But I look forward to your posts in the future! Cheers!

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

The gatekeepers in this thread are both obvious and comical.
How anyone watching could come away with anything truly resembling hope or confidence is a testament to naivety and alcohol.

You can say it’s a bad look but the logic you used made no sense.

 

[Canucker]

I don't understand your logic.

Why wouldn't it "be a good look considering everything else ongoing in the world right now" to protest anything, yet its ok to celebrate anything?

Things are always going on in the world it doesn't mean you can't cheer or protest the things that matter to you.

 

[Blue and Green]

So you think its ok to celebrate the Cup with all the Palestinian and Israeli children getting killed right now? Wow...no words.

There would never be an opportunity for anyone to celebrate anything at any time if that type of thing was the determinant because there are wars/genocides/mayhem going on literally all the time.

 

[hookshott]

Would a risto for Schmidt deal make any sense? And/or making it a bigger one by getting reinhart too?

Don't think we would have cap space for that.

Yep, thats my point.

Canucker you better sell your house and donate the funds towards a charitable cause today you POS

 

[arttk]

Please speak more respectfully to or about me.

All I am saying is that a physical protest of a hockey team would not be a good look considering everything else ongoing in the world right now, and would be a shame in the long history of organized protesting.

It’s not like all the protests are mutually exclusive.

 

[Canucker]

Right now the Canucks may qualify as a charity for a number of reasons.

 

[RussianRacket]

On that note, I do donate to Canuck Place! Wonderful organization

I agree...I can only hope that its better managed than the hockey operations.

As others have noted, this is ridiculous.

There are always bad things (and good things) going on in the world and people are free to protest (or celebrate) whatever matters to them, and as long as people aren't violating provincial COVID regulations they can fill their boots.

As others have said, is whoever wins the Cup not allowed to celebrate because it's trivial compared to larger issues?

I respect your right to protest and voice your opinion, however I still think it is a bad look. I apologize if you disagree, but I think we can move beyond this discussion. Thanks!

The way the Aquilinis treat workers and people is a bad look.

 

[RussianRacket]

The way the Aquilinis treat workers and people is a bad look.

Agreed. I would support a protest of the Aquilinis and their workplace conditions.

 

[BWJM]

I don’t think Benning has really used the words we will be “aggressive”.

I’m somewhat interested & somewhat scared on what he has up his sleeves for this summer.

You know he’s fighting for his job this year. Could we possibly see our top 10 pick moves?

Neither is wasting time trolling on a message board when you could use that time raising awareness for victims of the Russian Tzars.

I'd be willing to bet a significant amount of money that unless they win the lottery, they're going to trade it.

I don't think it's a bad idea either.

How much salary can a top ten pick shed? Could you shed Myers, Eriksson, and Roussel for example?

If they suck next year, players are going to ask out and we're going to enter a 5 year rebuild lmao

I think the point went over your head, but that's okay.

I am happy to agree to disagree with you, my friend!

I think we ALL have a pretty good idea what this moron's got up his sleeves.

Glad that we are able to agree comrade!
