All it would take is the Aquiliinis deep pockets to offer him a Mike Babcock contract.12 Feb 2015
Julien on Benning - "The one thing that I can say about him is how calm he is, never panics. Sees the game extremely well." #Bruins
Plus never underestimate the power of a good relationship with the GM as well.
The Aquas have, like they said they would, been silent for over 30 months. I didn't think they would be able to, but none the less, it would make me feel a little more secure, at this point, if we heard they were willing to flip the bill, no matter how high, to bring in Benning's friend.
Would show me they are not contemplating selling soon...

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Is AssBurgers an affliction associated to those who constantly bitch over and over about the same things regarding Benning, or is this just a convenient Gillis thang?
Personally I think IslandFarms theory is baseless and is now resorting to lowly ad hominems. "So sad"- The Donald

Who was it that came up with the conspiracy theory that McPhee was the one who pissed off Bure and drove him away?Blob Mckenzie wrote:Sigh....... this is about McPhee

We need that psycho wetcoaster for these stories, anyways.
After all that, trading his bro Gino was the final straw for the Russian Rocket. lol &
Thanks for link, I know there was shady practices for Pavel, but that shit cray - poor Bure dicked around by those old school management tactics, George McPhee the snake.ESQ wrote:Who was it that came up with the conspiracy theory that McPhee was the one who pissed off Bure and drove him away?Blob Mckenzie wrote:Sigh....... this is about McPhee

``Somebody from management planted that story,'' said Bure.
``They said I threatened not to play [1994 playoffs] and it really pissed me off.
While Bure would in no way even indicate whom he thought it might be, reason would indicate it was either then-acting assistant GM George McPhee or then-owner Arthur Griffiths. Quinn has indicated to some insiders he was led to believe Bure had threatened to withdraw his services by ``my guy'' but now says privately and publicly it never happened.
lol how tf you gonna make it canadian dollars?After 17 months of negotiation, a five-year, $14.7-million contract (little did he know the canucks made it in pesos, those snakes.)
aha sounds like arbitration tactics.But then I finished the season with another 60 goals. And the market was going up.''
``About two months later, when I was starting slowly, they (most likely McPhee) told me, `You were lucky to get 60 goals,' and that I would never do it again. They told me I'd be lucky to get 30 again.
I'd like to hear Tikhonov stories.Bure: ``I can tell you honestly I had no problem with Mike Keenan whatsoever and I loved to play for him. He was the coach and general manager at that time and I had 39 goals and a big bonus for 50. He called me in the office and said, `Listen, don't worry about 50 goals. I'll get you 50. I'll help you to do it.' And he was the general manager. I really like Mike.
He claims Keenan's style didn't bother him much and shrugged off the ``you little suck'' name-calling incident the coach engaged in during a game in Ottawa last season.
``That didn't bother me,'' Bure said.
``I played for (Viktor) Tikhonov so that was nothing.''
However Keenan did trade his friend Gino Odjick, which was by this time, the icing on the icing of the cake.
After all that, trading his bro Gino was the final straw for the Russian Rocket. lol &
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Good memory, Skyo. That was the death blow.
His total disdain for Mogilny didn't help either, but that's a long story.

Interesting how people from Arizona have been checking out the rinks is Seattle & Portland.
But are denying it.
But at the same time, it seems, plans to build a rink in Tempe Arizona have gone splat!

Nyquist should get 30 games minimum. History can't matter on this one.
He looked surprised he did it. Doesn't matter.
Reflex? Doesn't matter.
They better get this one right. If they don't?
You may one day soon see another Ted Green/ Wayne Maki.

Habs fire their coach and hire Julien just like that.
Savage and ruthless - salute to ya MB.
That saves Willie for this season now.
New canucks coach for 2017/18 either Dineen or Green.

I could see everyone but Linden getting gassed. Even though I think Trevor is a chump, the owners seem to like him as a front man. Playoffs LOL. Little early in the week to be ripped on bath salts .RoyalDude wrote:Nobody is getting fired, the Canucks are going to make the playoffs, baby!!
