theminister Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Don't celebrate until you know who the replacement is. If it's Feaster then we just took a step back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hopefully ownership lets the new GM hire his own coach. Torts has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Wow. Pretty surprised. Thank you for the service, Mike. I feel you did a great job considering the climate of how things go down in this league. Much respect and best wishes. I will remain a fan. Fall guy, but I guess when you're management and things are going south that's bound to be the case.

Specter's Vengeance Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Jesus Christ... I see so many people who wanted Gillis' head on a pike and NOW I start to see the "ERMEHGERD! DIS WUZA MISSTEAK!!!" comments? Best thing to happen to this team since making it to the cup final not too long ago. Oh well. You'll never please everyone in Canucks Nation...

250Integra Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Guy misses the playoffs 1 year in his entire run as GM after having the most success this franchise has ever seen & ownership fires him HAHAHAHA. What a joke this ownership group is.And back-to-back first round exits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's not entirely his fault as his team just wasn't built to beat the Ducks, Kings and Sharks routinely. However given that this team can't remain out of the playoffs for any longer period of time they have to reload from the front office down. Goodbye MG.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 HUGE MISTAKE Team will regret this in the future. Gillis will land a job quickly and help whatever team he end up on.

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think he'll do well for a team that has a legit chance at winning. Thanks and good luck, Mike. There appears to be no plan here now. But i'll admit this was a long time coming. Whether it was his fault or not, Gillis was unable to get anything done since 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bure19 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Really scared about who the person replacing him is going to be. Things I liked about Gillis, is how he used science to try and find an edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 This move was made to appease the bloodthirsty masses. It's a bad hockey move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So who's going to be the scape goat next year if things don't go our way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorevat Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So Torts lives on? It had to happen. Apparently whoever the Gm/Prez is, will decide if torts stays or goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberries Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 well we are guaranteed a new GM now, and the odds of him sticking with Torts are rather slim. Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Nazzy stepping down as GM at Modo. Bob Nicholson stepping down as President at Hockey Canada. Trev rumours today. All these things that seemed to be mutually exclusive a few days ago suddenly may not be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hindsight is 20/20 but a lot of the trades he did were questionable. He did make some really good key signings though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
