Post-Game Talk: RETRO NIGHT - Flying Skate Canucks 2 vs. Wendel Clark Leafs 5

[VanJack]

We lost to an AHL team. We were outshot 38-19. And some people think we can be a playoff team.

The power of positive thinking....another game closer to an end-of-season coaching change..another game closer to sweeping changes at the deadline....and if Benning is tempted to even consider leaving this roster intact, he's got tape that he can re-run over and over.

No you two are the smartest guys in the room.

We've been saying this since the summer. So I guess we are

Hey man. Talent evaluater extraordinaire Jim Benning feels that the team is missing one big piece from being a solid playoff team. As mere fans, lets put our faith in the proven NHL executive and hope we make some great trade deadline acquisitions! I hope we load up and make the playoffs to give our kids four valuable games of playoff experience to "speed up" their development the way Benning traded draft picks for projects to "speed up" their appearance in our lineup!

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

I hope they find a way to keep Lidster- kind of like him.

 

[geebaan]

Better when they gave him some ice time. Funny how that works.

exactly. I really wish we'd give Virtanen, Ehlers or Larkin style ice time. I bet he'd excel.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Virtanen was in the "nothingy" range.

Oh well, I'll take that as a positive in these kind of game.

 

[banme*]

That sounds like sour grapes if I've ever heard them. Solid tank effort tonight boys, keep up the good work

I honest to god actively want us to lose games, I just don't constantly post about how I'm somehow superior to the other side of the argument.

 

[Captain Bowie]

As usual, decent, but not enough ice time to be effective.

He played almost 14 minutes tonight.

 

[WTG]

I'm hoping for some drama on tsn1040 post gamr

I remember when we got slaughtered by Buffalo last year down the stretch many had this exact reaction.

This year's team is obviously way worse with the terror trio getting massive minutes (and here I thought Weber's career was done, instead he goes straight to 1st unit PP time and takes Biega's earned roster spot, my god). But the fact still stands, this team is not far from a playoff spot. At any rate, they won't get there playing like this.

The reign of the terror trio cannot end soon enough. We are talking about having Bartkowski and Weber on the ice when we need offense. It's gotten so bad that I'm begging for Sbisa to get minutes over them. Please get these blue line cancers off this team forever.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

But but but.....it must be the plan that's holding his ice time down.....right?

It only stems from people trying to superiorly feed us the narrative that we will be a playoff team, and that Benning isn't that bad, or Willie is doing fine, when all comments point to the opposite.

 

[coldhands]

Edit: Nevermind

Bad game.

 

[me2]

We needed Prust in a playoff caliber game like tonight

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

He played almost 14 minutes tonight.

Which is not a lot consider he's been one of our best forward recently.

 

[wonton15]

Vey Dorsett deployed after a tired Toronto line ices the puck? No Sedins?

Don't fire Willie. Tank on

 

[Breakers]

For anyone who Missed it Elliot Friedman just described Vancouver's situation PERFECTLY



Ownership is delusional thinking they are still competitive

Benning wants to rebuild through the draft.

 

[clunk]

Where's LB? We need a 1040 call in

There are extremely annoying posters on either side. I personally find that there are more annoying posters on my side, or maybe just "louder" posters.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Elliot Friedman is a smart man.

 

[geebaan]

He played almost 14 minutes tonight.

Vey had more than Henrik, whats your point? Wouldn't you ride the hot hand if you see a guy hot?

 

[Knight53]

Tsn 1040 should at least make up for this embarrassing display.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Which is not a lot consider he's been one of our best forward recently.

It's a fair bit for a 19-year old in the NHL that's not a generational talent. Only 14 rookies average more time than that, which includes 20-24 year olds like Panarin

 

[EpochLink]

That God damn leaf YT person Dangles? Yeah annoying as ****, blocked him on Twitter
