To be fair, not many teams are going to win a lot of playoff games with their back-up goalie.
Even fewer when their starting goalie is one of their top 3 players.
At least it looked like they tried really hard.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
Since this is for bragging rights, I assume that's predicting with your head.
But on an emotional level, whom do you think Canucks fans should hate more?

It turns out the Devil in New Jersey Devils is not a fallen angel, but rather a cryptid.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
"Liddell Hart was an admirer of the German generals; he described Manstein as an operational genius ." And in the same way that being an operational genius is still somewhat short of being a military genius, if the years prove that Benning was a drafting genius, that's still some distance from bein...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
I suspect Benning was told that the Canucks really shouldn't suck for the 50th anniversary season, and he had to do what he could about it. It was a fun playoff run, and I'm sure we all enjoyed it. Reflect on this and see if it gives you comfort if the Canucks fall short in 2024. Could be - I suspe...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Fair opinion, however I would say what got the Canucks past the Wild and the Blues? Their depth. To me, the Blues series was a very old, very simple hockey story: The Canucks got playoff quality goaltending, and the Blues didn't. And fair enough, the goalie is part of the team, and Benning can take...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Miller's contributions also bumped that 1st round pick from a top 10 lottery pick to the #20 pick. (oops, I forgot about the 3rd rounder, and Marek MaSparePart - still a cheap trade.) That was actually part of the point. Because Miller made the team better, the Canucks' 2020 draft pick isn't as goo...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
One non move and one crappy trade by two different GMs and the Canucks could have a pretty elite defence. Eye Bags drafting Shea Theodore instead of Hunter Shinkaruk. Theodore was right under our noses in the Fraser Valley. Ignitowski trading a second round pick for Sven Baertschi. Imagine if Benni...

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Honest to the Hockey Gawds, my plan was to shut up about this and let you just enjoy a nice payoff run, but some of you had to blow your genius horn, and at least this one last time, I will answer. Was it a perfect rebuild? Nope. But it was fast, relative to where they started - bad, old, slow, and...

Re: LOL
Ronnings Ghost is a good poster. He isn’t a raging idiot like ROE. Thank you. I don’t think they are the same guy. You are correct. RG hasn't been around these parts much since FA rush. I have found that I must agree with Strangelove on one important point: If you're getting angry and frustrated as...
