In 2022 the Canucks( Allvin) could have drafted 6'7 Lian Bichsel, but they chose to draft 5'11 Likkermaki to be that big goal scoring winger.

To be fair he does have 2

Guenther would be very fitting! 😆

Cue up the "society" 😆

So many blunders over the Benning years. The McCann trade still bugs me.

Thank the Sedins for that. McCann was too mean for them. It's a Swedish thing.

I was hoping he got the hint without me having to mention his name. For the record I was happy too when they drafted him.

I remember liking it, but the winky face tells you I’m in the crowd I was speaking of.

Here's to hoping. Too bad our owner is FA.

EP116 isn't built to handle a long season let alone the playoffs. He'll end up with a mystery ailment.

Folklore, they should’ve been developing him instead of rushing him to the NHL. Pretty sure he’s Seattles leading scorer right now.

I thought last night he was noticeable an he still ended up -2.

It is going to be a big ask out of him to be a team leader.

You can blame Gillis for that. He left Benning a sh1t team of old men and NTC's.

Lind & Gadjovich both 2nd round 2017 busts by super scout Jim Benning.

Leader? 😆 Not a chance.

I will agree with you Benning was far from a super scout but one thing I will say is at least he had second round picks unlike Allvin and Gillis.

Context, he was -2 on empty net goals.

This is why I really Hate Allvin trading the first round picks. McCann and Boeser were both drafted late first round, and we hand them out like Tic Tacs .

Still is a goal. With the man advantage the puck should be on Canucks stick. Like I said I thought he had a good game.

Gustav Forsling was my favorite Benning gaffe! 😆

Sure but it’s not that same as you’re framing it. He won the faceoff on the first empty net goal but no Canuck player picks up the puck and Hintz scores from 800 feet. That’s hardly his fault.

Let's see how the new leader does moving forward! 🤔

He’s not a leader, he’s a quiet introverted kid. He can lead with his offense but that’s it. I’m not in the room though.

Maybe Miller was right?

I am really not sh1tting on him. It is one game only. I though he has had two good games in a row. He is now playing like an 8 mil player. Lets see if he can pull up his big boy pants a little more and play like a superstar that he is paid to play like.

This is why I don't want to trade Hoglander yet. He is showing signs of life. Give him some time,

Rangers are going to win the cup.

There’s a lot of smoke around the two but the leave of absence had nothing to do with Petey. Miller needs to own that.
