Wiebo was completely out to lunch regarding Elmo''s skill as a manager. Wiebo is a miserable old coal miner who did some cooking for the grubby miners and collected rocks in his filthy linen gown. But he stuck with his stance that Lennie Small was a genius. Wiebo's big thing was placeholder's and an age gap and he was gravely concerned about the placeholder's and felt that these veteran scrubs deserved 4 -6 year contracts. I was good with 1-3 year contracts for the scrubs, but you can lead a horse to water..:..... Six to eight posters on here probably want to walk back their stances on Ignitowski. He couldn''t manage a 2 car parade.

He got two draft picks right and made one good trade.

There is no denying - in the storied history, the pantheon of Vancouver Canucks GM’s - Sir Jim Benning, held the position the longest. An elusive, yet mystifying character, death defying, executive warrior - Elms!

He ate some serious dough. He could have mixed in a piece of fruit or a salad but he was a fat slob, that couldn't lay off the sugar/ salt diet and never turned down a bottle of screech. He was an absolute embarrassment to the franchise. The people that clapped their paws together and called him a genius and a Lord or even a competent employee for 8 years, isn't trolling. I remember Bum Smell and I both putting the boots to posters gobbling Elmer's glue.

The fact is even though he made several horrible picks, more rancid signings and a gaggle of terrible trades, it was how he carried himself and behaved like a spineless jellyfish and not being any sort of a leader, let alone a manager of people.

He was a joke

I’m telling you, if Jim was your neighbor in Peachland and you needed an alibi for some nefarious activities, he’d have your back with a wink, wink, nudge, nudge “I got your back, neighbor.” He’s that much of a stand up guy. If Gillis was your neighbor he’d be calling the cops on you nightly, he’s a prick through and through.

Just like he had the cajones to talk to the league regarding the Covid outbreak. Oh...... that's right, he got JT Miller to do it because he's a gutless piece of shit. Was gutless when he played too.

Or when Jake Virtanen attacked that young lady. Did he get out in front of that? Isn't that what a leader would do? You were in such a coke haze back in the mid 90's when we had a leader have Pavel Bure's back when someone came after him on CBC. You likely don't remember.

You don't get to walk this back and say you were just fucking around. There's 6 - 8 posters that are just complete idiots and supported this asshole as a GM. I think you might be so fucked up on drugs that you believe he did a good job here. How long did they hold your bald dome under water before you wan out of air ehile getting baptized?

If Jim Benning was Blobs neighbor, Blob would be over there every night sucking back tankards of piss with his new bud Big Jim Benning

I'd beat him like a red headed step child if he was my neighbor.

You were also among the window lickers that think he did a good job.

They’d be a pair those two, Renny & Stimpy, comes to mind. Jim is the kind of neighbor that if you ran out of beer and off sales were closed, Jim would let you raid his beer fridge in his garage in a heartbeat. Salt of the earth

Did either move the needle on getting us closer to the cup? I can buy a good alibi, or body mover. I can't buy a cup...

I would be Shane Corson feeding that lump of shit Dana Murzyn after he and his wife Skanna tossed one too many empties of Lonesome Charlie onto my yard. Just pulling the rip cord like Kirk Gibson after he walked off the Mullet in the 88 WS.


Hey Chef do you still have the front yard hot tub? I thought that was kinda solid how you grew the grass about two feet long and had the portable closet that stored all the robes and lotions welded to the iron rod gate and fence with two enormous golden lions. You were ahead of your time.

What was the security guard's name again? Gerhardt I think?

Old news.

Sauna’s and cold plunge tubs are where it’s at. Chicks dig that shit. It’s gets them in the mood. The Finns definitely know their shit in this department although their cuisine is none existent, what is it? Whale meat? Sea lion and potato’s? Blobbee, you need to get out of Tri-Cities, the mullet of Canada.
