If he felt, Benning didn't follow the laid out plan, it was Lindens job to stop him. As POH he is Bennings Boss... If Benning broke protocol and didn';t follow what was agreed, he should have been sacked at that point. Otherwise Linden was just a figurehead.... This is not about, whether I like Linden or not... Linden is always going to be a hero at this club for what he did as a player. But if Benning really went against, what they had agreed upon, then he should have been sacked. It does suggest that Linden and Benning didn't see head to head, and obviously somebody had to pay the price, which likely was the reason Linden left. Benning was running the entire operation almost on his own at the end, and that is simply not possible... Its like the captain of the ship explaining, he thought the mate was running the ship aground, but now he has made sure it won't happen again... That is all very good, but unfortunately there is now a hole in the bottom of the vessel. I'm sure the owners would say to the captain, he should have stopped the mate, before. he ran the ship aground... The mate may not be sacked, but it gives the taste of a rudderless ship, or at least a weak chain of command. Hence I've always stated Linden should not have been POH in the first place, it was unfair to him and it was unfair to Benning. The two persons in the top should be totally aligned, and any disagreements should be kept behind closed doors....forever. What I’ve heard of Benning is that he blames others for his shortcomings. This mean that if he feels threatened by Linden he talks shit about Linden to Aquilini. Linden might have been superb but since Benning is so Trumplike it’s impossible to work alongside him and if you critisice him it goes south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that once a year novelty plays a big factor in that. I work in tourism in Ottawa so attend a fair number of Sens games for work events but not sure I would ever pay for one. Maybe if they get their shit together with a downtown arena instead of one in the middle of nowhere I could muster up a bit more enthusiasm to support them. Despite being an Ontario lad, I have cheered for the Canucks like a masochistic lunatic since the early 90s and rarely ever miss a game, so there is no doubt who I will be cheering for tonight, or where my loyalties lie. For sure there are many of us lurking in the woodwork all across the country. My best "road" experiences were in Calgary during the 90s where Canuck fans were always present and vocal, but got a lot more pushback from the locals than in Ottawa. I'm probably too old for than now! Have a great time and do the side proud! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforTheCurseEndsHere Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 In listening to the Linden interview I think he was pretty respectful and honest. I had no issue with anything he actually said. He certainly wasn't "slamming" Benning. The random overreaction to it was the only thing that made it a controversy in my opinion. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 2 hours ago, -dlc- said: I agree. Linden held his tongue for a long time out of respect for the team. But Benning's gone and he has every right to explain the "why's" in his departure. I don't think it'll be a big distraction to this team at all. They've really learned how to shut all the noise out. Media as always is up to no good, trying to drag the Canucks down with stories like this. This could easily be done in the summer interview, not when the Canucks is starting to do well. Any type of distraction would be gone by the training camp with focus on the season. I have no respect to the media for a long time due to timing on how it's being delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sens arena has great sight lines. And a homey feel. Worth the drive and the overnight. Haven't been this excited to watch a Canucks game live since EPs rookie season (live in MTL...stupid too many vowels and his accidental BS way out of the play) ... Got to watch JT Miller live, one of Greens last games, go through their entire team and score a goal. Hope for a lot of that! Also looking forward to the "go Canucks go!" crowd... usually 30-40 of them all together. My kids are taking me for my Bday. We'll be cheering loud and proud for the Nucks. Such a friendly atmosphere there but I look forward to a down town arena. GCG 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Veskit Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 My best road experience was when I just happened to be in Montreal when the Canucks were in town. The Bell Center is an amazing barn. Montreal shot out to a 2-0 lead and the Canucks stormed back to tie it. They retook the lead early in the third, then we scored to tie it up and Toffoli scored in overtime. Was 2020 right at the beginning of the pandemic just before the NHL shut the season down. Was a great game. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun to watch and be a part of this race for Lord Stanley’s cup instead of just hoping to make the playoffs. If the standings stays this way or remain similar, Pacific Division will have 3 of the top 5 teams in the league, but also have 3 of the worst teams in the league.

NHL Tyranny Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 27 minutes ago, Maniwaki Canuck said: No big suggestions other than to reach out to other Canuck fans in the arena. It's a bonding experience! Kanata is about as suburban as it gets so not a lot of suggestions about what to do there. Before the game I like the resto bar at the Rink. I arrive early and relax with beverage and food, sometimes watch all or parts of the warm up (you can access from the Bar so take turns and keep your table). Decent atmosphere and many nucks jerseys. I leave before traffic so also spend some time a Cabellas [sp?] beforehand. GCGT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
