Ha that's perfect lol!

Benning sounded pretty simple which skews perception plus the OEL fumble was pretty damning but he did make a handful of decent moves and picks.

It's like choosing which cat turd is your favorite

That's a pretty succinct and accurate conclusion.

This town and fanbase will never take off their blinders to see the truth. Too invested in the narrative to see they've cheered JB's core (and still disgustingly tongue-bathe the remaining one).

He was an average GM who obediently followed the whims of the owner. Not saying retooling wasn't his own belief.

The ones that came after were truly incompetent and managed to ice the cake once before smashing the whole thing on the sidewalk. I'm not being hyperbolic in saying they left us with the worst era of this franchise in record time.

...and, as noted in my letter to AIG last year, one that has resulted in lost give a shit from many long term fans (an incredible achievement considering the franchise and what we've all been through) and a diminished for the crest development from the younger generations.

An absolute abortion of a pro franchise and an epic lesson in across the board failure.....

When the time is right, we invite you to come to BC to do your part for Canucks fandom.

Like Louis XVI, the FA monarchy will end one day through revolution by the people (I hope we're all still here to witness this). His end will be by the sharp edge of the downward falling, spaghetti skate.

If you set your fitbits' stroke length properly, you can get more accurate distance calculation during your masturbatathon.

Pace yourself, dude.

Only the Canucks could fuck up having the Jims in the back office, and not on the ice.

Our defense time allotment needs an overhaul

Hronek needs his ice time cut dramatically. He played 29 minutes last night ffs, and over 26 on the season. Manny needs to get him down around 22 or 23 a night before we wear him out. His play has dropped because of too many minutes.

Schenn played 12 minutes. Bench the old man, and give Mancini 15 minutes. What is the worst that could happen? We lose 14 out of 15??

And, both EP25 and Willander need a bit more time too.

I don't think Mancini is ever going to be a regular NHLer. If I'm the team I move on from him while you might still get something back. He just doesn't seem to have the hockey sense to see what's coming and is always reacting once they've occurred.
