You spend a lot of time comparing men's finger to sausage sizes.

I know a lot of women who do that.
One post now = “a lot of time”
Oh, did I use hyperbole? How obnoxious of me. I sincerely hope you are not butt hurt.


That depends on the size of your banger.

Are these people the source of your otherwise inexplicable position that any criticism of Benning is an implied endorsement of Gillis?

You can’t be a GillisBro and a BenningBro equally or with some parts of both however divided. It’s like are you a Jew or a Christian, or a Republican or a Democrat? You are either one or the other. However - the GillisBros are idiots as much as Eyebags was and the BenningBros cannot be denied. We are the cream rising to the top and the GillisBros will disappear from the game just like Mike - 6 years without an NHL job and counting

Mike Gillis - “Aussie Rules Football - that’s the future of Hockey. I’ve been studying how they do things, the stuff they are doing is amazing and I plan on implementing their systems when I get the job in Seattle. Seattle are you listening?”

OK, this explains a bit. The possibility that you seem to be missing is that one can be neither. That is to say, there is no requirement to endorse the decisions or track record of either man as Canucks general manager. You could take a position on which one was better (or less bad), without thinking either was very good. Maybe think of it like the old Ford/Chevy rivalry -- a car enthusiast might hold that Mercedes was better than either, so the distinction was unimportant.

So far, Gillis and Benning have manged the Canucks to exactly the same number of Stanley Cup championships. When a Benning-managed Canucks team wins the Stanley Cup, it will be clear to me that Benning was better. I still think it would take the Dynasty that you promised to prove a genius, though.

You just described poster Y2K/Pauser!

He has, in fact railed against every GM in Canuck history!

But then he always railed against the Sedins as well.

(first they were not going to be NHLers, then they were not going to be top sixers, then they were just vastly overrated)

The Pause has never had anything good to say about anything Canuck until he/she/it left the organization.

He does however occasionally say good things about the Leaves.

Which begs the question: Is Y2K a Toronto Maple Leaves mole? :wow:

I don't know this poster, but the fact is, no GM in Canucks history has built a Stanley Cup winning team in Vancouver, so it would be reasonable to assert that even ones who did better elsewhere can't claim to have been great while they were here.

Unless you want to go down the anti-Canucks conspiracy theory rabbit hole...

You don't understand.

Leaves-loving Y2K has hated on every single Canuck GM from Day One.

And he never had a single good thing to say about the Sedins.

Y2K is clearly either a Leaves mole or Satan.

Or both.

The position I took was an easy one -

- Gillis was found out to be a farce (the one I had predicted him to be the day he was hired) after inheriting a great young, talented core group of players only to get one miserable visit to the finals.

- Benning the greasy, hot dog eating, rink rat naturel inherited a royal mess, will eventually prove that he was the perfect hire coming in after Gillis completely shitfucked the prospect pool with 6 years of miserable drafting and some horrific trades.

Pettersson Generational
Boeser - 23rd overall
Gaudette - 5th round
Hughes - that elusive offensive supernova the organization has never seen
Demko - 2nd round
Woo - 2nd round
Blah
Blah
Blah

Y2K is a very angry little man with all kinds of envy pouring out of every pore of his body. His postings reek of displaced aggression. Shit is going down in his real life as with all the GillisBros

RG - are you an errand boy (HF GillisBro mole) sent by Grocery Clerks (HF Mods) to collect a bill (troll)?

It wont end until, in the very distant future when Jim is forced to retire due to he got his letter from the Queen and realized how old he was,
then a new one begins over Jim Benning and Valter Sedin's oldest son, the new manager.
