Still upsets me how we needed to pay to get rid of Dickinson. He was decent in Dallas, he’s decent in Chicago, and he should’ve been decent here
Jim Benning was an absolute travesty of a GM.
He would have given Hoglander 5 million AAV.
Canucks legend Juho Lammiko. I remember when we had that Motte – Lammiko – Highmore line that we thought was the shit because it was able to not be an outright liability for 12 minutes a night, which was big for us back then.
Now none of those players would even be on our first AHL line. As much of a beauty as Motte is, the guy has a career high of 15 points.
To show how far we’ve come, our lowest scoring roster regular (Blueger) put up a 34 point pace last year
Burroughs? Do we really need him?
Anyone would’ve been better than GMJB but not in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the replacement would’ve been *this much* better.
Fever dream it was
It’s a miracle that team managed to stay in playoff contention until game 80
That….is underwhelming in comparison
Holy moly
Just… wow.
Yikes
What were we even doing
The post is still up if we want to laugh at some of the comments 😅
Huh. I guess I completely blocked out how bad we were…
Someone needs to tell me again that Horvats leadership was the reason we couldn’t win a game
7/23 left…
For whatever reason I thought this team had playoff potential, so I bought a quarter season ticket package. The highlight of those 11 games was half the arena chanting fire Benning. Fun times
What would it have looked like if Dumbo Jim didn’t run out of time?
Wtf this gave me depression
What a pile of plugs lmao
I’ve watched nearly every Canucks game for the last 14 years and I do not remember a Dowling. He played on the first line?!
All hail Rutherford and Alvin! Thank you for bringing us from laughing stock to serious contention in such a short time. You two are beauties. Let’s f**king go!
#ThankYouJim
That lineup makes you want to puke
Dowling, Highmore, Lammikko, MacEwen, Petan, Pods, Burroughs, Hunt, Poolman, Rathbone would not crack our roster today. We’ve come a long way
I had a weird love for Macewan for some reason
Benning: “we’re a playoff team”
What a ride…. imagine if we had competent leadership through the rebuild years.
And that was the roster after we traded the 9th overall pick in the summer in order to be competitive!

Jesus christ and we had playoff aspirations…
This is and was embarassing
I just threw up in my mouth a little
Was boeser injured?
