Well besides another multi-goal lead being blown (anyone know the season long record?), here are a couple things annoying to watch.
1. The PP: It consists of setting up two guys to take shots off their back foot. Sure it works sometimes but ever notice how the PP goals usually come early and then gets shut down. An uber predictable back foot wrister is pretty easily blocked in the NHL.
2. The Panic: It doesn't matter the team or the line they're up against, once the panic starts in our own end there is no one to break the cycle. It resembles a rec hockey team.
Spencer Martin seems legit. Too bad our goaltending could be set but the whole rest of the team is a dumpster fire ... except you Bo, don't worry this will soon be over for you my friend. - Sayros
I now watch, only for the comedy, both on the ice and in here. |

In other #Canucks news, Danila Klimovich, one of their top prospects, is once again a healthy scratch. |

I see that goof Uncle Toothless is trying to start a Go Fund Me to raise money to fly another banner Bring Back Benning. |

Benning is why we’re here in the first place. |

It's actually reached the point where it's laughable now.
Hey, as long as FA sells tickets for a crap hockey team, who cares?

The list is long. The list is very long.

Another big game tomorrow night, against the Bruins, should be another fun game to watch. |

It’s always a collective effort but the piss-poor core group and complete lack of prospects is all on Benny. |

Boston knows "the Canucks are a fun team to play against". |

I agree, just wasn't going to let the new regime off the hook for continuing on with the Benning plan. |

Okay they don't have prospect like Gaunce Shinkaruk or Jensen in their pool, but what team does?

None of us know what deals, or lack there of, are out there to be made. Now or last summer. Rutherford said something like teams just aren’t interested in some of your players, perhaps he was talking about Miller, which is maybe why they re-signed him. Horvat needs to be moved, along with Quinn Hughes and a bunch of the plugs who fill holes. |

I’m not even sure what that’s supposed to mean, or how it’s relevant to right now, but I’m sure it sounded good in your mind. |

Give them away, or let the contacts expire.

I am all for moving on from anyone on this team, just not Spencer Martin. |

It’s just not that simple, for numerous reasons. The cap ruined the excitement of the league in terms of player movement. |
