I just didn't expect Melnyk to be remembered as this 'generous' guy when he was definitely remembered not that long ago to be the most 'cheap' owner.
Probably because you are thinking of him only in terms of how much he spent on a hockey team.

mental health is from lockdowns and social distance, not vaccine mandates.
Thx!
If this is meant as an encouraging mental health comment then thank you! Although luckily I am not prone to that.
If its a meta comment on my presence on the board, I didn't think I posted enough to be know to anyone

I don't agree with vaccine passports.
It has been a way of punishment for those that don't want to take the vaccine. There have been some silver linings such as convincing more people to take the vaccine.
There is also no way to measure how much slower the spread has been amongst the unvaccinated population who is harder hit by the virus, but that could be seen as a small silver lining.
On the other side, people's mental health has taken a huge hit and that's not something that will be easy to treat. We have also alienated a large segment of our population.
Taking all of those reasons into account, vaccine passport is not a good thing for our society.

I would figure someone named after a South Park character would be able to take a joke.
Its not even a good joke. Its stolen from American jokes about the south and doesn't really fit for Albertans. But that's not the problem. If you haven't noticed the USA is veering towards violence between its two political wings, which pretty much boils down to rural culture vs urban culture. That's all on the back of social media bull$&!# that is warping everyone's minds. And we are heading that way here too. Adding any fuel to those sorts of fires seems pretty irresponsible.

His body of work speaks for itself, why would you not want him ? At 5.5
you would not be getting his body of work, as that is in the past and time runs in one direction

Yes, it has become an exercise in self promotion. To it's detriment imo
it used to seem more legit ya. But at the end of the day, unlike most news, the point of sports journalism is to keep you engaged with your team and buying tickets.

The expectation that a GM should disclose their detailed game plan and future strategy so the reporters don't have to do any work and cherry pick past statements show just how pathetic, lazy, and incompetent they are at their own jobs. It's a shame media outlets don't even concern themselves with holding their columnists responsible for quality or accuracy anymore. Pretty soon these dinosaurs will be out of work. We don't really need them anymore. Just someone reporting the facts and news would be great.
lol
sports journalism is marketing. They are giving the people what the people want.

What I am really hoping is that all the malcontents simmer down for a while. But I figure the next lynch mob is a couple weeks away.

Ultimately, this is a very passionate fan base. Every fan base in Canada is passionate. In Canadian cities where hockey is the ONLY game in town this time of year, you as a professional hockey player are under a microscope, get used to the new reality, because we're living in it.
-or- go play in the states, avoid the hassle and live a life outside of the fishbowl.

even during 2011 we were eating this team alive for any mistakes, 30 years without a cup in Canada is no coincidence. Don't blame Bettman.

"you see, when you start making millions of dollars you simply gain a natural aura that makes you impervious to loud and obnxious media fans that are on your case all the time. And I pay good money to be loud and obnoxious".

I want the team to be run by a collective of the loudest most disgruntled fans, That would be absolutely entertaining,
-
there were people complaining during the team's best years. Vancouver sports fandom comes with a guaranteed minimum level of toxicity

All I know is that if what he did was ok, then anybody there would have been within their rights to shoot him too.
