Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning probably caused a little bit of road rage with his TSN 1040 interview yesterday.
In typical Jim Benning fashion, the interview was chalked full of “real goods”, “uhs”, “well the thing is” and then a couple of eyebrow-raising, Twitter frenzy-inducing, what-the-heck-is-he-thinking moments.
It all stemmed from comments like the following, when asked about being sellers at the deadline:
Benning: It’s too early. We have another five, six games here before the deadline and we want to analyze where the team is at

And then going on to say:
Benning: I would even look to add, if we can, to make our team better to compete for a playoff spot.
