Also, how weird is it that Friedman refused to comment on Benning/Green during the intermission a few days ago and today is publicly saying that Benning could get fired soon?

Minds change, narratives change.

"I tested negative every day, all the time, very good very negative tests, but all of a sudden I tested positive"

It sounded like he was basing his statement off of what the local media was reporting rather than from any sources that actually reported anything to him directly.

My wife just walked by while this Wisebrod pic was on my screen. Her comment: “is that one of those dumb hockey people you’re so often reading about?” She sure hit that nail on the head.

Too funny LL, my wife is from Ottawa we share the pain of having a horrible owner.

The Benning firing countdown is on, great news!

If it ends up Weisbrod at the helm I'd rather keep Jim but strip him of all powers except to sell Pearson at the TDL

Well if the Canucks are 6-20, then the firing squads come in.

But it should be coming soon, the public will lose their shit of the Canucks are 6-20.

he's okay with repeating media buzz, as long as nobody can attribute any critical thought to elllliottte personally. What a boring hack!

The comments in this post are really getting heated now, some are wanting this done ASAP

Worst coach in Canucks history, Bill LaForge, was 4-14-2 when he was fired.

6-20 ain't far off that territory of crap if they get to that record.

That was back then, this time around with social media and public out cry as big as ever..one more lose could really spell disaster.

 

[Fatass]

Keep: Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Horvat, Hoglander, Podkolzin.

The rest can be traded, need a competent GM to rebuild this team.

I’d add Rathbone.

 

[4Twenty]

What was Aquilini thinking with that tweet?

 

[4Twenty]

I’d add Rathbone.

Why he can’t even beat out Chatfield for minutes. Use him to dump a salary. Might be a Bartkowski at best. Not significant.

They're actually lucky this is happening during pandemic. Imagine an arena semi-full seeing this "entertainment" (and paying full dollars for it)?

I can imagine fans throwing shit on the ice and calling for Benning and Green to be fired.

Also Bronx cheers for every player on the team.

My Wife was born in Toronto, and grew up in Calgary. She cooks in a Leaf’s Crockpot, and reads by the light of a Flames table lamp.

It would be nice to see Rathbone play. This is exactly why we need a new GM now, so there can be an evaluation process.

His reporting in general is really weird like you can't tell when he's speculating, throwing shit at the wall, reporting or trolling. Not to mention he's pretty much a talk piece for the NHL. It seems like he's trying to replicate how the NBA big media dogs do things, but I'm not sure which personality he's going for .It would be nice if their was another big time insider in the national media that can actually force him to do his job properly

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I find it at least a little bit funny that some are relentless in making fun of Chiarelli when he was in Edmonton. What face do you think they make when they realize who his assistant was for 7 years?

 

[4Twenty]

Sure it would be nice but if he performs like rafferty the jig is up. Send him down to the minors and met him play with players closer to his level.

It would be nice to see him play an NHL game, but with Hughes and Schmidt (and Myers sigh) his skillset doesn't really fit the team anymore

He’s a long term prospect. Needs game time against lesser pros.

The Canucks prospects after Podkolzin are extreme long shots to be NHLers let alone difference making top of the lineup players.

If they could sacrifice Rathbone/Lind/Dipietro to get rid of Beagle/Roussel/Eriksson you have to do it.

yeah prospects over draft capital. These drafts in the next 2-4 years are going to be really important for replenishing the team when Petey and Hughes hit their primes after 2025

Which is why we need a new (and good, of course) GM now. These moves need to be planned, and completed before the draft.

 

[EpochLink]

At least the hockey talk now is about getting Benning removed. I don’t wish bad upon people losing their jobs but his time here is up.

He will get paid well in terms of compensation.
