Honky Cat Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Probably the the first media pundit to come right out and say that the President of the Canucks has done a lousy job.... http://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-10...our-1-1.691849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're being sarcastic. Can't disagree with him. The stated goal was to make the playoffs and he's failed miserably in 2 straight seasons. TL also hired a rookie GM and a rookie coach while he him self is a rookie President. Lots of learning on the job for all three of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomex Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think Bill Watters is a terrible media head. He should stick to football. We're all entitled to our opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard for this team is rather their overall stated goal -- to get younger, faster, and more skilled, and they are arguably on the path to achieving that.

Industrious1 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think most of us knew making the playoffs over the next few years was going to be a pipe-dream. If we do fantastic...but i'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I wasn't going to dignify this with a response. But fun it. This dude is an old washed up 73 year old chicken. Got drafted 2nd overall in the CFL but never played... He was an Assistant General Manager of the TMLs when they were brutal. You can thank him for all those years the Leafs sucked worse than a leech sucking your blood out. You guys shouldn't even bother with it. He's not worth the time.

exhile Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The Canucks are in a cycle of rebuilding the team after reaching a peak during the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. I don't know if the Canucks have reached the trough of their cycle but it seems to be getting there. It's not Linden's fault for the team's struggles. It's a combination of players and management.

Inge34 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Watters is an venerable, bordering on dementia, shock media personality. He did great job when he was affiliated with the Leafs. *falls on floor laughing* Please for the love of god, let's not care what this man says. He's buddies with Pratt, that should say it all.

Stating anything otherwise sends the wrong message to your players, especially veterans like the Sedins, and new players you want to develop with the right attitude.

And add the nature of sports to that as well. People seem to think winning, and getting/developing the players you need to beat other teams in a competitive league is realy easy when your sitting on the couch eating potato chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
