Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Y2k picks for 4th OA Vilardi and 5th OA Mittelstadt/Glass.

right after drafting Petey: "****ing idiots!" & "Blown pick. Stupid ****ing idiots "

Y2K: "Going to be funny quoting the people who love this pick when we look back and see Vilardi was the better pick."


Nuckles: "*sigh* Pettersson is fine...shouldn't have passed on Vilardi though... "


MS at draft day:
"Should be Vilardi.
Expecting Glass.
Glass is such a meh result but I'd almost be relieved because I think they could do something a lot dumber."

Oct after draft: "I would have taken Vilardi at #5 (although Pettersson was my 2nd choice) and had Heponiemi at 33. Just so I don't get accused of hindsight, I did call Heponiemi a guy who should go in the first round in a post on the prospects board"

You should check the 2018 thread, that same guy was bummed for days that we took Hughes instead of his choice, Noah Dobson

In fairness there was about 90 % of this board that wanted Vilardi/Glass and Dobson. Thing is, now people understand that while those might have been solid picks and will probably become very good players, Canucks management nailed it. Right now it looks like Vancouver scored a top
3 player in both drafts picking from 5 and 7.

I'm fairly certain that is incorrect.

I remember in particular there was a large group of us who were sold on Petey pre-draft.

And I think things were similar in regards to Hughes.

But that's not the point...

Yes, that is the thing!

Those mongoloids over there criticize Canucks management in ways like:

"we think Benning's intent was to blah blah blah, therefore they're horrible"

... when the reality is Canucks management is conducting a lovely rebuild.

They keep trying to convince themselves they could do a much better job of running things.

... which is why I when management proves those mongoloids are delusional.

(as in Skyo's post above, for example)

Seriously I feel I have had people... like some of those folks... committed over the years.

They are... as we say in the biz... "out there".

There were folks that said they liked about fifteen or twenty different players depending on what day it was just to cover their ass and say they always liked this guy or that guy.

But at the end of the day the Canucks scouting staff appear to have hit two bombs. Kudos to them. That’s why they get paid the big bucks.

But you do see why I was LOLing at the mongoloids right?

“I don't think the majority of Canucks fans hate Benning, though. There is, however, a contingent of fans that Brian Burke referred to as the "lunatic fringe" (i.e. HFBoards Canucks) that have an unbridled, almost unhealthy hate for the man. He's made some mistakes, without a doubt, but he's also made some very impressive moves that have positioned the Canucks very well for the future. Even with all that, Bennings detractors have referred to him (quite frequently) as "the worst GM of all time" and spend a significant portion of their lives dedicated to spewing vitriol at the guy (with endless message board arguments, comic strips, petitions, twitter wars, etc.).

The silent majority are on the fence, especially with the more recent upward trend. But, if you ask the "lunatic fringe", his horrifyingly incompetent legacy will be "felt for decades to come" and it's only a matter of time until they have to tear it down and do an "actual rebuild".

Absolutely and I’m right there with you and this is why we are on page 160,.... those meat puppets still can’t give Elmer any credit for drafting a pair of franchise players

Well stated sir.

It is an embarrassment that they have set up a tard camp in Canuckdom though.

That's never happened before.

More confirmations that Bleach Clean is the Supreme Douche

Let’s review his post from 2:25am this morning.


“There are two key areas where your rebuttal falls apart:” - Very douchey especially the usage of rebuttal - extremely douchey

“1) Dismissing reports as speculation when these reports are sourced.” - More douche

“2) Ignoring the media arbitrarily.” - douchey big words

“Granted, you do in fact acknowledge that it is the media, and not the fans, that are driving this story. That is a key point in favour of your reply.” - douchey piling on of the previous douche

“The media has chosen to marginalize Benning’s known impact upon the drafts. You suppose this motivation is due to wanting clicks, but why now and not before?” - douche leading

“They choose now to reveal this, I think, because more and more insiders are recognizing Benning’s detrimental impact behind the scenes. This is why sources are revealing more information.” - douche speculating and the use of the supreme speculative douche term - ‘sources’

“Last, it's very difficult to arbitrarily dismiss the media when they are near unanimous in what they have to say. How do you think that comes across here?” - the use of douche word - arbitrarily, again. And douche generalizing with “unanimous”

‘Often times hf opinions are more accurate than the manager’

Listen Neckbeard. You aren’t getting a gig with an NHL team anytime soon. Now go back to serving Happy Meals and Big Macs. You know, shit you’re actually qualified to do.

“He’s one of us”

Never change guys. You’re highly fucking amusing.

Someone should drop in there with a
