GDT: Vancouver Canucks vs. Colorado Avalanche | Nov 17 | 6:00PM PST | SNET

I'm just the messenger..They are getting evaluated on a small sample size of games....from what I understand.

Do you agree that 3 games will make a difference for this team's direction long term?

If people threw a bunch of Messier jerseys on the ice that would be hilarious.

There are some Jim Benning Canuck jersey's out there.

Be interesting to see if the crowd resorts to a "fire Benning", if things aren't going well. It's cruel as hell, but I guess that's where we're at now.

Kesler was a douche but he played harder then anyone currently on the team.

Hoglander?

change “was “ to “is” and it will be accurate. But he played so hard with little care for his body he ended up getting a hip replacement at 36. I find it hard to hold his trade demand against him at this point. And wow was he ever right in wanting out.

 

[Oleksiak]

Hoglander?

Hoglander and Garland come close

I am more looking forward to the fan reaction than the game itself. Says something about the team on the ice.

Feels at this point like the only reason I'm watching is to see this decades "fire Gillis" moment

This would be a good use of Jake Virtanen jerseys.

Objectively better value than replating to Dickinson.

 

[LaVal]

It's a tough time as a Canucks fan, because in my head I know that losing and losing big is the best thing for the franchise, but in my heart I still want them to win despite the fact that going on any sort of win streak now would be devastating to the long term of the franchise.

I'd prefer "Aquilini Out" above all else. If I didn't have class right now, i'd have found some cheap/free seats and gone and joined in the fun.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Keep the chant simple so everyone on TV can hear it.

AQUA SUCKS!
AQUA SUCKS!
AQUA SUCKS!

Why is it cruel to ask for a multimillionaire to go spend time with his family while still being paid?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Remember when we had an actual up and coming team?

This is more a death watch thread than a game day thread. Is anyone going to be happy if the Canucks somehow win tonight. We are still only 15 games in, so I still have a few grains of hope left that the season can be turned around.

That’s cause you want to “see the look on everyone’s face” when benning is named gm of the year.


Someone did the math the canucks would need to play at a bear 106 point pace to make the low end of the playoff bar. This season is almost over; no one wants a dead cat bounce to give them a reason to keep benning around.

"Sell the team" may also be a good one to try tonight

Sell the team! will definitely be going strong from the sounds of it.

A pro-Gaglardi chant would be *chef's kiss* but unfortunately 'Gaglardi' doesn't fit well into anything catchy.

Interesting that a team that's 5-11 is having one of the biggest games in it's franchise history.

I will be happy. I want this team to show some character and come together for a win. I’d prefer that to a tear down.

Weird start time thought it was seven

Firing Benning puts the team one step closer to contention, even if it involves a few steps backwards first. Those wishing Benning gone simply want the Canucks to actually threaten for a Cup, not live in this make believe land where .500 hockey is a success

Almost had me, jerk

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I dislike him as a commentator but at least Cory Hirsch realizes the team needs to rebuild.

He got me and I had to do a quick edit!
