New era really? is that the new slogan? You die-hards ready to get milked for some more? cus I am pretty sure Travis's contract still counts and someone's paying for it and it aint the aquaweenies. This whole interm $&!# reeks of the stench of meddling. It was not that long ago that the aquaweenies said no immediate moves will be made, then it all changed when a jersey is thrown onto the ice. What's the matter aquaweenie? don't have the balls to stick to your guns? Smyl isn't a seasoned GM! so what's he doing here? Another PR move like hiring TL and the sisters? BB is a good coach but if Smyl isn't the man why is BB here?! What happens to BB when a new rubber stamp/aquaweenie cock boy is hired? How many more good head coaches can they afford to burn? I aint buying, and until you all realized and stop going to games/buying merch, Vancouver will always be the leafs of the west for years to come.

Guys, you dwell too deep into this. It's pretty simple. They have not fired Benning because he's their cock boy and they haven't fired Green because they just signed him. It's all about money. Letting vets walk for nothing, wanting to sacrifice future for short term playoff revenue etc, it's just money nothing else. If you want to invoke a sin, try greed. And for me, the best way to punish greed is to deprive them of the thing that they wanted the most, money. Cancel the Aquaweenies.

This fiasco has the potential to become a reality TV series. You can each go and meet the Aquaweenies in the board room, pitch your plan of how to fix the canucks to them and if they like it, they will say "You are fired!" to the GM, and hire you as GM. You get to do your GM job until the next guy comes along and gets you fired. This will be gold so keep it up guys.

NB was a crap D man during his playing days. JK was exactly what his initials suggests, a joke during his playing days. Whose idea to hire these two bums for coaches? But again maybe the picking was so slim that they end up being coaches and we have this nice garbage in and garbage out effect.

I see that someone already typed up the majority of the rebuttal that I was writing so I'll just add to that First of all, what makes you think an USA ownership would want to move Vancouver out of Vancouver?? There is relatively little competition compared to other US cities and the fanbase is about as hockeymad as any major US city can be and then some. Let's not forget how hard it was for Phoenix to move out of Phoenix despite years of failure, you think Bettman will let Vancouver Canucks move out of Vancouver? This is not the Jets and even the peg got their Jets back. Second, Towards the end of the Sedin's time they were declining, so were the rest of the core and instead of rebuilding then what happened? I remember I use to lose my $&!# when KB cough up the puck or when plugs like Linden Vey fan on a wide open net attempt etc. But then whose idea was it to sign Louie Player Name hoping he will be the second coming of Burr?? Third, Aquallini is the owner of the team. Of course he stands behind it, especially when doing so gets him money. And them losing money? whose fault is that really? You ice an inferior product people won't pay the money to watch especially when they have to pay parking and then the ridiculous concession prices. Lastly, paying customers have the right to expect a reasonable product. Blind faith in bad owners like the Aquallinis will only make owners rich, and this perpetual nightmare last forever.

Honestly, don't bother with these letters. These people can't be pleaded with. All they see is money and the only way you can get to them is through money. Stop getting all riled up, chances are they don't read these and even if they do they don't care. Don't buy ticket don't buy merchandise, when they lose enough money they will put the team up for sale.

Not that long ago a bunch of average-joes banded together and screwed some big shots over in Wall street (remember game stop?). I would love to see that happen when the fans as a collective put the screw to the Aquallini.

If one manage to get some off those leaf fans many years ago.

Don't buy tickets to go throw things onto the ice. Remember the tickets the jersey the hats whatever. You paid for them.

Don't forget those waffles.

Holy crap, you sure you are allowed to say this as a moderator?

Cancel the Aquallinis. Don't go to the games and dont go to their restaurants, support your local bars and restaurants instead.

So before the meeting actually happens we already know Jimbo's safe. So that leaves us with canning the coach and trading players. As for canning the coach, they just signed Green, canning him means the owners lose money. You think these slum lords want to part ways with their money that easily? Probably not. Ok so maybe the coach also stays, that leaves us with the option of trading players. Players aren't playing up to their potential because 1. they are all still suffering form long hauler 2. They gave up because the team sucks. So trading one or two players will somehow remedy the situations listed above? Probably not! Getting traded maybe is even music to their ears. And other GMs will eat Jimbo alive because they all know his team is in trouble so maybe not trades also. So a meeting with the owner for what? This meeting is nothing but a ruse to trick the fan base into thinking that something will be done or is being done so they keep buying tickets and merchandise. I suspect they will pull more and more of these meetings to appease the fan base because it's cheap and it works.

I don't know how much I should read into TL's "high tempo" comment. Defence wins championships. With tha in mind trots, sounds goood. Larry not a bad choice either. Carlye would be a good candidate for high tempo game but 1. you need players do play that game 2. leaves have to can him first.

I'd laugh if JT isn't canned tomorrow. TL waiting on Todd to get canned first?
