Stop being little babies and grow up. Whining like little girls isn't going to make your hockey team better. Show some respect. This guy is one of the best players in the league and we're lucky to have him. Just wait and see what happens over the course of the next few years. Watch and learn.

Been following this team for 30+ years. This has been the best most cohesive management and coaching this team has ever seen. They are clear and concise in sharing their POV.

Allvin is much more impressive than he was a year ago. And you're right about being cohesive. Benning used to talk about the organization being aligned and not really achieving it. These guys are aligned and communicate with each other all the time. I can't wait to see the moves that Allvin makes.

I personally really like Allvin’s attitude. Benning’s benchmark was “it’s day-to-day, if we make the playoffs then anything can happen” and that was a pretty awful attitude that didn’t push towards any progress. This year was super successful but Allvin’s right in saying “only round 2”. Gotta push the players to know that better results are possible and this isn’t the peak.

[@thisrandomvoice3214]

I like Tocchet, but it seems like there was a difference in opinion between Petey and Rick, Petey's exit interview seemed to suggest he had an injury that needed rest, and Rick made it seem like it was only tendonitis,and that Petey would be able to play through it, Rick should have rested Petey before the playoffs, some things you shouldn't play through, plus Rick kinda through Petey under the bus when he wouldn't admit to Petey's injury during the season

This team is moving in a positive direction , for the first time since before Mike Gillis sent it down the river with all or nothing management, and Jim Benning picked up the torch without even knowing how fire burns you! As long as ownership continues to put trust in Jim Rutherford and company, and STAYS THE HELL out of trying to manage the team themselves, then, there may be an actual COMPETITIVE future for The Canucks! Makes you kind of feel warm inside, doesn't it? Now, next training camp, hire Wayne Gretzky for one hour, and have him teach the team his mantra: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
