Don't worry about points, focus about points percentage: (after Bruins win today)It wasn't a spectacular night on the out-of-town scoreboard last night. Eight teams behind the Canucks in the point standings were in action. They produced two wins, one extra time loss, and four regulation losses—so not great, but probably effectively compensated for by the three point game between Montreal and Winnipeg.
Four teams behind Vancouver in the point standings are in action today. The Rangers are already down 3-0 to Boston, so not much hope there.
I know it's too early in the season to be focusing on minutia like this. I should go out and enjoy the rain.

Even with the late start, We are in our usual February form
Our team will likely f*** up the tank like they f*** up everything else, then we get something like a 12th overall pick while listening to Jimmy telling us how bright our future is.
But that's down the line~.
In the mean time, I see Jets in the sky prepared to dive bomb us into oblivion.

"Of course I’m disappointed by our poor start, but the last thing we’re going to do is panic. We’ve been better in recent games and I believe we’ll continue to improve."
It's becoming more and more obvious that what happens on the ice the rest of the way, matters little in the big scheme of things.
Canucks will likely end up with another top-five draft pick, which is huge. And of course the owner has to undertake the long overdue review of the entire Canucks operation. Those two decisions are really all that matters now.
It is telling that the only area of autonomy Benning truly has is in amateur scouting where Benning and Co have done reasonably well and where FA can't meddle. It is also the area Benning says he is best at "I have a background in amateur scouting" and will be concentrating on because of the departure of Brackett " I plan to spend more time in amateur scouting". In all areas of proscouting, where ownership can presumably meddle, the franchise has been basically brought to its knees.

Do you really think the GM spends more time amateur scouting than proscouting? Any GM?
I’m just waiting for the Sens to pass us. Now that’ll be a day. Unless they already have? I haven’t looked at the standings in awhile. I already know this team is out of it and at the bottom.Detroit can pass us tomorrow in point percentage, and points
Not yet. OTT has a game in hand and 3 points behind us, DET has a game in hand and 1 point behind us. OTT has 10 points in their last 10 games, DET has 9, we have 6 out of a possible 20I’m just waiting for the Sens to pass us. Now that’ll be a day. Unless they already have?

Im not too happy about being on the tank once again this year. I was off it finally last year. But it was pretty f***in obvious that Benning went all in and we were in for regression this year. The funny sad thing is competent coaching could trap this team to a mediocre record. Our smoothbrained bench jockeys cant even do that. Hopefully theres finally light at the end of the tunnel for a clean sweep of management this year cause if theres not, Im finally at a point where Ill check out on this team until it happensThat's the Sens to the left, Wings in the foreground.
Ours is the one in the middle catching air.
This club reminds me a lot of the 70’s and 80’s. Bad management, bad coaching, and bad everything. The difference is tickets back then were 5-10 bucks for nose bleeds, and moving to the best seats was easy, considering the rinks was half empty. We aren’t going to see the cheap tickets again, but we might see a half empty rink if Benning/Brod is left in chargeIm not too happy about being on the tank once again this year.

Im lucky enough to have only been a fan since the early-mid 90s, I was spoiled with Bure/McLean et all of the bat. I was young and naive during the Messier and revolving goalie years but that seemed to fly by even as a kid where a year lasted forever. These 7 years have both flown by and seemed like an eternity with this ownership and management doing everything they can to piss off both the average fan who wants a playoff berth and the diehards who want a cup more than anythingThis club reminds me a lot of the 70’s and 80’s.
