I have your gold medal Zippy!
Not if the other team was the Leafs, Oilers or Flames.Watching Benning’s team get exposed on the national stage would be great.

Yeah but this one above all will give me a small consolation in this sorry season.Why not the "trifecta"? We still play the Oilers and Flames once.
The bigger the market, the better.Not if the other team was the Leafs, Oilers or Flames.
You think thats true? Man if this is true it means Benning is pretty dumb. I know guys like to joke hes an idiot but hes the GM of a pro hockey team, i would think its an exaggeration hes walking around like that, clearly our team was not great and us the fans could see it, of COURSE Benning could see that tooToo funny. Just listening to the Pat Cast and Botchford while he was in Vegas he had dinner with some NHL Agents and they were saying that in December and January when the Canucks were doing ok. Benning and Weisbroud were very arrogant and strutting around arena thinking as one agent said they were " Ballers" the agents were laughing at them and more so now. wow!!!

No Hutton no Tanev against the regular season stud Leafs. This gonna be ugly, like that Anahiem a couple a years ago game ugly.Just caught Green on his post-practice presser.....pretty obvious this latest Canuck swoon is just killing him inside. There's no doubt the guy cares about his team, but appears near the end of his rope to me.
The problem at this time of the year, when your team is basically playing out a string, is that you're facing teams that have everything to play for. Let's face it, the Leafs are treating this game as a 'automatic' in the win column. With so much at stake, the last thing they want to do is lay an egg against an NHL bottom-feeder.
So unless the Canucks have completely recovered from their 'Vegas flu', or unless Markstrom does his best Jacques Plante imitation, this is going to be another long night.
Botchford is part of the media. As a member of the media, his job is to create buzz for clicks and getting people to read his article. The more people he draws in, the more money he makes.
Fake news.Not that I would ever, EVER want the canucks to lose to the leafs, I think a bad loss to Toronto on HNIC could be a large nail in benning's coffin. You hate to see it.
so you're saying he fabricated the story?
Yup.As much as I hate the Leafs, if a big loss during prime time is what it takes to make significant changes and resurrect this team then so be it.
Who cares DJ just go for the Eriksson hatty and be happy with itYup.
I’d be happy with a 10-3 loss as long as Pettersson gets his.
Being shut out would be much better.Yup.

A 10-0 shut out without any of the shiny new toys getting points would be a huge hit to Jim Benning's status.

People keep repeating cap hell and cap crunch like any team ever has actually been affected by this idea.
In real life teams find a way out with various loop holes. Toronto is not losing nylander or marner. Winnipeg is not losing Laine. There's always a zaitsev or kulikov.
Not to even mention the other ways teams have gotten around it.
For every media pundit and casual joe licking their lips for kapanen there's a Chicago Blackhawks laughing at you.
