Sigh...I have been following this team forever yet I don't see any success this year. They lost again tonight...I think this team is cursed.

Curse of the Benning/Aquilini! Cure, replacements!
Yah, Aqulini is a bum and needs to sell the team.... Trevor was right with a full rebuild needed but Aqqulini just wants to fill seats, doesn't care about the team they ice.....

Trade rumors are starting boil.... Boeser potentially available, Minny inquiring about JT?

Seems like a long season ahead

I say yes, fire Benning! But, don't make any drastic moves to try and salvage the season, try for a high draft position. And see who actually wants to be there, unlike Pederson.

Agree with all of the above. Only word for them is pathetic.

WTF is the media doing promoting trading JT Miller Or Boeser? This is a rebuilding phase and why would they trade their better players? Gotta build on the better players. Besides the Canucks have a poor track record making trades and end up with more disposable parts.

Take a look at the Blackhawks from their several losing seasons and built a multiple Stanley Cup winner in 5 years.

When they were awarded the franchise they were put in the East division and Chicago was moved West.
All down hill from that point till 82 when they had no business making it to the finals. Outside of 94 and
2011 mostly disappointments really.
As a 3rd generation east sider that be a whole lot of suffering.

It really has been a minute since I have watched a full Canucks game. For me, it started with the media coverage of the Canucks that i had a hard time with. it was the was Luongo/Schneider goalie controversy that the media perpetuated that really soured me… still not sure that having 2 reliable goalies is a bad thing, but that’s probably why I am not a GM. Althought not sure that Mike Gillis was a real GM either. I slowly stopped watching games at home, only watching when going out with buddies, the occasional in person. But following them in highlights and box scores. And even that has become less.

hard for me to speak about Benning directly. I wonder how much is him vs how much the Aquilinis allow him to do. Since they have been full owners there have been a lot of questionable moves. Trades for players past their primes or injury prone.

I do think there needs to be a change, and at this point is probably needs to be from the top.

Followed this team since it's inception. The best part was watching HNIC when the 'nucks played the Islanders at the old Coliseum and the three young streakers ran out onto the ice. Second best memory was seeing Bobby Orr,he looked weird in a Blackhawks uniform. Back then tickets cost $8.

Travis as head coach seems to have a blah attitude about him like a few of his spark plugs aren’t firing, he has always been like that. It’s probably not working for the team anymore, time to get some energy in the dressing room look what it did for the White Caps.

Not saying any of u guys are as I have a couple of friends who are die hard Canuck fans but the average fan is garbage, just like the team. They whine when they lose and riot when they get the closest they've ever been to winning anything.

So, the season is now officially over. Hope it's a good draft year.
Anyone dreaming of a Whitecaps-style rebound are most likely doing just that - dreaming.
Benning will have to be next, and will the new GM stick with Boudreau?
