Bad press, It's followed the Benning regime, like a fish-fart vapour trail from day one, around two years ago they decided to do somethng about it. Read though any popular message board where the Canucks are disscussed, it's right there in black and white. Obstinate, Pro-Benning poster's who will argue till the Canuck's cup parade (That's a long time) that the Canucks G.M is a genuis, an expert at the draft table (hehheh...hehehehahaaha!) that Joulevi was the right pick, that the Gudbranson deal wasn't a "Let's find out if he's REALLY that dumb" practical joke expertly played by Dale Tallon, ect. ect. blah blah...GO! Take a look!   Yes, trawling though this trash is exceptionally anoying, but don't blame "THE THREAD" the dissonance in discourse is due to specific posters I think most people  are intelligent, and don't have their ego tied up in being "Right" I think most people are fine with changing thier mi...

Alex Edler.....just let that sink in, If this guy wasn't born to be a Canuck, then Vancouver's cost of living is do-able. At times, the guy has looked like he's had it all: The shot, pin-point passing, size, hits, PP point production, we've seen it all from Edler, his recent years have shown him to be in decline, but even at his best, there was something....off about the guy... Not off, as in, he seems like a bad person, I don't know him but certainly, don't believe him to be anything of the sort.  By "Off" I mean, as in: "This guy is fantasic.....but, I'm not 100% convinced he CARES" Edler as far as pro athletes are concerned has a bit of an issue, it wasn't so bad when he was doing extraordinary things, but now in the twilight of his career, it's become a real problem for the team. The problem is this: Edler is lazy, he's always been lazy (I once had to hold the door for him in Blaine because he was talkin...

I am sooo sick of hearing you all talk about how inconsistent ref calls are holding the NHL back Like so many hockey fans you are just parroting what you hear in the media, the rule enforcement is a complete non-issue, when I became a hockey fan I learned about how the game was called and was like "Fine, I get it" People want an ENTERTAINING PRODUCT, why in the hell would they care if rules are called differently than other sports? What do you think? Some new potential fan is enjoying a hockey game for the first time, sees something not called in game 7 OT and says "Well, that does it....I just can't enjoy this game anymore, they aren't calling this like it's PRE SEASON" That NEVER HAPPENS, the only people who care about this are the media who invented the issue so they would have something to talk about and fans who are too dumb to think for themselves. NHL marketing is a well-known joke, sure, but the number one issue that has killed the NHL for th...

    In a career saving, prayer answering group of sentences Griffin Reinharts dreams, for which he worked his whole life, were rescued from the clutches of evil men. When I think of how he must have felt when Vegas took him in the expansion, draft it must have been some small fraction of what a German camp survivor felt as Allied troops rolled in. Make no mistake, damage has been done, but I think it isn't too late for him, I think Reinhart will prove himself to be a serviceable #4 D-man I thought he looked ok in The playoffs, and really how bad can he be? I think he was a scapegoat because a lot of executives used him to make themselves look bad, so they punished him for their own ineptitude. Had he been a 2nd or 3rd round pick, he would have been quietly enjoying his solid but unspectacular NHL career for a few years now, but the powers that be, angry at their own ineptitude did their best to convince him he couldn't play and...
