What bugs me about Gillis is that he passes off the Fans as idiots, and does not take responsibily.
2 comments that really bug me:
'In this day and age, it's really hard to make trades'. NO $h!?. It's the same for every GM, but the ones who are winning seem to be able to make those trades.
'Scoring is down league wide'. What does that have to do with the Canucks not being able to score as much as (most of) the rest of the league?
Grow a pair, show some confidence in your group, and say 'we're just not playing good enough, and I believe that the answers are in the room'. If that's not the case, make some real changes like the other big boys can.
