Man o man , am I dreaming or are the canucks for real? 5 outta 6 points in California, not too shabby . What happened to their pop gun offence? They're suddenly an offensive juggernaut, a lean mean Petey and Brock scoring machine! Team averaging almost 4 goals per game and over 5 per on home ice.
Well Jr, are you a believer yet? So far Benning looking like a genius , team is much deeper this year,including Utica , more prepared for injuries but let's hope they can keep the injuries to a minimum, this is too much fun , let's keep it going! If they make the playoffs then the rebuild is almost complete , foundation, framing,and drywalling all done , Benning then just has to decide on what color paint ,which appliances, and whether to order quartz or granite counters.
And I expect Lind , Woo , Podkolzin , Hoglander , Madden , Lockwood , Juolevi and Rathbone to make an impact in the next 2-3 years .
The future suddenly looks bright.

I know Gimp my friend it's like someone turned on a light switch and boom they took off this year. Mind you Jr. did mention afew times on the old forum the last couple of years that JB was doing a good job and to just be patient. Which is true as we were focused on over paid louie Louie or if Tryamkin was the real deal or just a large tree. anyway's yes it's been an awesome start hope it continues and let's hope Hughes isn't out to long it's still too early in the program to sustain long term injuries to our future. Those names sound like ingredients in my puppys dog food.

[Forrest Gump]

I believe they're also the same ingredients in costco's polish hot dogs , mmmmm good!

Actually I don't think Jr was a fan of Benning, probably wanted him fired . I agreed with his extension, you gotta give him a chance to see the fruits of his labour rather than have someone else taking his place and stealing the fruits of his labour. Yes he's not perfect , but pretty well every team has a money for nothing and pucks for free contract anchor around their necks, look at chicago lots of potential boat achors there.

Let's see if Jr finds us , this thread has been kinda dormant , then he can clear the air regarding his past feelings on Benning.

Here I am

I play hockey a couple nights/week, half the time as goalie. We're talking mostly scrimmages where defense is often a second thought.

And yet, I cannot remember ever having to face a 3 on 0 as epic as this...

But have you ever played 3 on 3 ? Maybe not 3 on 0 but I'm sure there's been some 2 on 0's . It's the nature of the beast , i can see how it can happen ,very entertaining though . It was the perfect storm with Myers skating deep and then ripping a shot that misses the net and rapping around the boards and trapping all 3 players with 2 colliding into each other.

Yes, lots of 2-0s, and I've played 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. Our scores are usually something like 13 to 13, but last Friday I hurt my knee half way and my team was up 6-0. I don't know if anyone has ever made it to half time without letting in at least 1 goal before, so I was having the game of my life. Put in another goalie, and the final score ended up being 10 to 8.

If this keeps up, I'll be showing up at Canuck's tryouts. LOL.

P.S. Luongo and I are the same age, so maybe not!

Well , my claim to fame was playing on a team in the top men's league (division 1) in Vancouver in 79-80 , we won the league championship and I had
35 goals and 75 assists for 110 pts in 44 games . Unfortunately that was only good for 2nd in league scoring , my centerman beat me out by 3 pts

Here I am

That's it ? Just 3 words? I'll presume that you agree with my memory that you were anti-benning , Sardineman thought you were pro-benning. But the question is are you still anti-benning?

[Forrest Gump]

Oh oh , 3 losses in a row , let's hope they learn from it , although they did have their chances tonight it seemed like the jets put on a clinic in the 2nd and 3rd periods as to how to close out a game. On defense Winnipeg is a shadow of their former self but still looked pretty good out there.

I hope I didn't count my chickens before they're hatched. A good start can do that.

I fixed it fo you Gimps, I had a feeling these two games were going to be tough all part of learning as well as the up's and downs of a season it's just how well they break out of it. I couldn't help but notice Tanev did a good job at replicating Skooks and Slyty guy disappearing and reappearing more than once.
