What a terrible comment by Benning regarding the Virtanen allegations. Calling her "girl" and stating she made a blog post is just unprofessional and incorrect.
Im excited for the off season, clearly this season is a wash and any playoff expectations for this year is unrealistic looking at the roster/injuries and cap space. High hopes for next year
Ya know
Podkolzin will be a lot like Podkolzin
He keeps saying that we just need make the playoffs and then anything can happen. We can't just think that we can slip into the playoffs and then out of know where be able to compete with the top teams. In the year that we were the closest to winning the cup we were the top in the standings. I'm not saying we need to be at the very top but at least be able to compete with the top teams to have a chance.
Benning is the worst
Wow fn ask this idiot gm about bad contracts…. Media is sooooooooo fn stupid……this guy screwed the organization with bad contracts.
Goodbye Canucks, great way to support the team. NOT!!!
Canucks were terrible in the playoffs last year, what's he talking about?
Wow Benning straight from the heart of whoever wrote your speech.
Yes it was a shit hard year for everyone, for every team, the schedule did suck and you handicapped us from the start with your management.
The only reason I even remotely stand hearing your vision, is the fact we got Coach Green for the next 2 years. Praise Jesus, the young players have someone to look up to in Greener, Miller had to speak up for you on the return to play from the variant. Players had to speak up against this team losing more pieces, they cried for this organization to keep the best goalie coach in the sport and one of the best young sound head coaches around.
Ian Clark is going to cost you to keep him, because your owner treats his assets like mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them shit. Now he has the leverage of Calgary and Florida only has the first 2 basic choices.
You comit to a young goalie but not to his development and his psyche?
Good luck to you sir, to your vision which from the sounds of it… “just get to the playoffs, you know, anything could happen you know” rings a lot like stepping up with dice to a craps table…
Hey Jimbo…watch out for snake eyes.
Zero confidence in this management team to improve this team.
Canuks is the best tame in hole world number # 1 i beiver that we wii win the stany cup we wll get most stany cup in the nhl 🏒🏒🏒🏒🥅🥅🥅🥅
Virtanen is high maintenance and low hockey I.Q. Too many chances …..
Travis Green is now relieved he wouldn't have to consider head coaching the Buffalo Sabres next season.
We need speed and more scoring? Lol
Lets start with having fewer breakaways and adding dman who can play actual defense
If u made a drinking game out of how many times Jim says "you know"… you would die
We’re gonna be aggressive in free agency and trading? Please God no
Some good questions here, Jason FINALLY got his off..barely…as tee time was lurking lol…probably didn't get the answer he was looking for though…but that's Jimbo! Expect anything different!? Lol
Thought Chris Faber's question was properly loaded to the relevant situation that is…Chris does a great job through and through…very thorough, always value his work
Jim and Travis did a stand up job in this, also, good solid-thinking questions by the media on this presser, great job everyone!…except that last question…I mean it's a legal matter…what was he gonna say? – that was a stupid wasted question
