Did you know geddy's real name is Gary, his granny who was English sounded like geddy when she called him and his friends started calling him geddy, true story.

True story. When I was in pro music the musicians association published their yearly membership list and I was right next to geddy lee. Not that big a deal really but growing up a huge rush fan it felt really cool.

Hughes and Myers sure knew where to thread that shot wow.
And Jake's wrister was a bullet. What a shot!
Really look forward to seeing jake play every game.

This is all part of why the Canucks are now a good team. Balanced scoring. Talented D being difference makers. Spectacular goal-tending. Special teams. Boxes all checked for the Canucks. Chemistry and buy-in with depth will have them elevating to a great team.

True. This is a good team now. Those reluctant to recognize that are not looking at facts and falling to emotions of being burned.

Where is this report?

I assume you are referring to Benning’s prospect criteria?

JB has discussed many times and so has Brackett.

“Jim has a tremendous scouting background...” Brackett said. “What they’ve really done for us as a scouting staff has been to really outline what types of players we’re looking for, what we’re looking to build and really given us a sound direction when we’re out at games: what types of players we’d identify as ‘a Canuck.’ So that’s been the most refreshing part.

2015 interview with Judd Brackett
Key to scouting: level of communication Jim has brought regarding defined terms and what they are looking for - defined terms like character and compete

Overall, Benning has established a criteria built around drafting prospects who are skilled, have a high hockey IQ, and are “last guy in the gym“ types.

How can this team be winning with 3rd liners, like Bo and Jake and trash like Beagle and Sutter?

I met Geddy/Alex at a meet/greet through my buddy who used to be the software manager at A&B sound. just super people would have loved to meet Peart before he passed but he was never really involved with fans and media much. For those three guys to come together at those particular moments to create that band is truly amazing. Their talent levels were literally off the charts.

Or Brackett wants to be promoted again and the club doesn't think he is deserving, if Friedman is reporting that the two are at odds, there is probably something to it.
- Makita

One of the most short staffed groups in the league and they are doing this well, I would imagine people are trying to poach our staff at this point. Canuscks have queitly spent very little money and done very well. haters will hate but this is literally half the staff of a lot of teams right now

Dude have your opinion about yourself and others, but don't ever say things that make you feel like you hate everything about Canucks management. Cause that is what that means when you say you're turning into Marwood.

Bo, Pearson ad eriksson has become a legit shutdown line. I have very little love for loui, but being able to shut down teams late game is exactly what weve been unable to do.... arguably during the golden era even

Certain parts of the schedule over the next two months are ugly. I will break them down into 10 game segments and hope we play a tad over 500.
