The Canucks decided to give Jim Benning three more years as GM, so we decided to revive the aggrieved hockey talk you once knew and loved from us. The Athletic's Justin Bourne joins to discuss why extending Jim Benning is like re-electing George W., the prospect-starved history of Vancouver, the spectre of meddling ownership, the enduring struggle of hockey culture against forward progress, and the role of toughness in today's NHL. It was a dang treat having him on. This is but a taste.
