However they are in the process of purchasing Bell, Canadian Tire, Canada Life and Scotiabank so they will be changing the names of all of the hockey rinks in Canada to simply “We are Rogers”… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Technically the Canucks are still paying for both of lu and virt so keep them all up there. We can have the all buyout/cap recapture team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post McBackup Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 The Virtanen banner will be down when the team replaces all of them for the coming season. I have no doubt they'll want to do that anyway to promote Garland/OEL/Podkolzin/Hoglander/whoever else. This is a complete non-issue being utilized by people who always want an excuse to grab their pitchforks. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it smart for a club to have a giant banner of a guy hanging outside their arena who is under investigation for sex crimes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket1994 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yet, some defend the media here. While this is about one banner, it really does speak to the overall issue with the media here. They truly are horrible. No wonder agents / players have called them out! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect whatever contractors do that kind of specialized work are probably backed up for months due to Covid, like you see in many other trades. And if they could find someone to do a rush job, which isn’t necessarily a guarantee, they would probably need to pay several times the going rate to have any hope in jumping the queue. ^This.

This isn’t about media; this is about common sense. Jake is under investigation for sex crimes. Having a giant banner of him hanging outside the arena is wrong, whether he was still on our club or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree that it should come down (keep in mind the innocent until proven guilty), but let's be real, it will get done. Do you really think it will just be left there or that they want it there?! Maybe they're waiting on a new one(s) to replace it / them. Let them take care of business without it being made into something it's not or making a bigger issue out of it than it needs to be, which is what the media is doing...and this is just one of many many examples.

The Canucks are a 700 million dollar business. They can afford to hire a couple guys to take down the Jake banner and put up a generic team banner in its place. The league talks about being proactive, and taking a stand on important social issues. Big swing and miss by the Canucks here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sid mentioned there's probably a backlog of work. Even still, I'll be glad when it's down. But he's been released. He hasn't signed anywhere else yet. (Who would take him at this juncture?) Pretty sure by the time training camp starts his banner will be down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its waiting on the other contracts or part of a complete re-do of the outside. A building isn't an app. You can't swipe things away instantly. Its just another "look, Aqulini bad" province article. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Lock Posted August 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2021 Either 1) They know this whole thing is stupid but know it'll get views because of it Or 2) They have nothing else to write about at the moment. Either way it's sad journalism at best. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
