Had a good time going to the game with
@Jyrki21. I don’t have anything to really say about the game itself. I feel pretty checked out from the actual on Ice activity right now.
Jyrkis signs were awesome, and as he mentioned, there was a ton of Canucks fans at the game. Well, there really weren’t very many fans at the game at all, but the ones that were there were like 30% wearing Canucks jerseys. A lot of people expressed support when seeing the signs. A few people who didn’t understand them, but nobody who disapproved.
listening to the post game show on the radio was a treat. The post game media dudes and the Sens fans were absolutely PISSED. They were saying the rebuild was a failure, Dorion needs to be fired, they’ve run out of patience, etc. I don’t necessarily think they are wrong … but it is a funny contrast. At least they were actually rebuilding and didn’t trade away their last two first round picks! And Dorion has been a GM for less time than Benning. But somehow you don’t hear about toxic negative coverage of the team in Ottawa. Really makes you think.
Also it was funny that their radio host said something like “please don’t call in to complain about ownership. We already know, and it’s not going to change.” Lol.
Anyway, I actually think I’m going to step back for awhile. I have some hope that change will happen this season, but as everyone likes to say, we will wait and see. I’ll check in maybe after the season and hope there’s some good news. For now I feel a bit exhausted by Benning stuff and want to focus on some other things. So probably gonna stop posting for awhile and I’ll see you guys at the party when he’s finally gone.
