You had me with this, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like about this is it really looks like they could be setting the Sedins up for long term success here, thats showing some great leadership and learning from past mistakes. I am not saying the Aquilini's have been bad owners. I am simply saying even at the time it didnt feel like Benning or Willie D were really decisions driven by Linden. The public face was that they were but they really felt like they had more than just approval level influence from ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dazzle Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2021 Notice how the only posters who are negative about this are the same ones who find something negative about this team. This isn't realism or pragmatism. Posters like Squamfan are just an embarrassment to sports fans in general, not just the Canucks. 5 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't he a Toronto guy? This accomplishment-free dilettante should probably focus more on how his team is going to ice more than one line next year over what's going on here.

Dirtman Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That's great! Looking forward to see what capacity they're used in. I get the skepticism considering what happened with Linden, but this is a great move. True professionals from day 1, I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 4 hours ago, Alflives said: You honestly believe the Twins have the type of character to sign on as a PR stunt? Not a chance. These are two guys who love the sport, and want to help our team be the best. What about Linden, was that just a PR stunt or was it him just not agreeing with the GM about how to proceed and him basically saying if you don't respect my input why should I even be here... This signing means nothing to me, they are going to learn the game from a NON player point of view and proceed from there. This doesn't change our cap situation, our poor D lineup we have etc. All the holes on the team are still there, time will tell if any bold moves are done. Hopefully this works out well and they remain a part of the team, wish they recruited someone like Juice instead. He does NOT sugar coat stuff and says it how it is, something this team needs and I have my doubts the twins will ever be those kind of people. See what all is said tomorrow and go from there, took weeks to announce this so the intrigue has been gone for a while for me, I want big roster changes to help the on ice results could care less who is in management etc. The nostalgia people will be over the moon tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i'm glad i put this stuff aside with a couple of posters last week to reflect on some more important personal stuff, i still stand behind my feelings re: these types of posters / calling them out. I'm also glad i'm not the only one. It just crazy seeing this stuff consume this board / market!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, he'd be a solid hire. Could replace Baumgartner. 5 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: Why do I have a feeling that they're going to mess with peoples heads, constantly saying that they're the other one? Man I’d love to see both of these happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
