Popular Post Green Building Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 28 minutes ago, Podzilla said: We’ll never win a cup under this ownership. No one good will work for them. This is the quote. Little to nothing to do with JB and Green when it starts at the top. Let's all take a trip down memory lane when Nonis was fired for NOT mortgaging the future with regards to an Edler, Kesler, and Schneider for Brad Richards trade. Imagine the repercussions of that, and Nonis gets a high five from me for not capitulating. Aquilini has been cookie-jarring this crap since the get go, and JB is just the yes man. There are many personal anecdotes I could share about Gillis' tenure/demise, but people tend not to care for those. Him &^@#ing Linden over was the final nail in the coffin of apathy for me. Cheapshot BS by a useless interfering ass something akin to Jerry Jones of the Cowboys, minus the uptick of recent Dallas success, but at least Jerry has a championship to show for it. Lmao but we were close in 2011, oops what happened after that phenomenal run? The worst part of all this is that Aquilini came out and called for fans to diss him for failures, and many/most fans still want to hang the coach and GM. Such a shame that a market as passionate as this one can harbour such misdirected anger. That said, it just goes to show that there is no "one thing" wrong; the whole organization is &^@#ed. I just prefer to call it out from the top. Hey Aqua: Quote If your PR team or assistant or whoever you had cancel revenue streams to local broadcasts are listening, they should tell you this city is gonna turn on you cause you're acting like a clown. You are a clown. Even if we turn it around this year and make a battle out of the season you've lost all benefit of the doubt. If I go to the game tomorrow it's only gonna be to boo your ass. Not the coach, not the GM. You. I don't like you, you suck. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 It's interesting, how many fans, think there's going to suddenly be a change in management and coaching. Trying to decide if it's funny or not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Like it or not the canucks have just announced they are re entering the rebuild stage. It's time to maximize assets and look at trading some players to rebuild for the.future The canucks will not be playoff contenders for several years and our pending ufa's unlikely to want to remain. Most UFA' won't want to sign with a perennial rebuilding team unless they are over paid. Thus it becomes imperative to ensure we aquire some top picks to be the new players In a a few years as we have little for prospects in the system now ( rhe best of them already are up ) I don't like it either but today's meeting just reinforced that the owners want players who play to the coach and these for the most part are clearly not them It's not a panic sell off but they need to stop letting assets walk for nothing and given this direction we can expect some players not wanting to stay as we become perennial.bottom feeders. Maybe ticket prices will drop so common working folks can go to games... even if it's a guarantee loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I mean it’s not like they were gonna announce changes coming after the meeting. I’m not sure Dregers tweet means a whole lot. Whatever was discussed now has to be turned into a plan if they were in fact going to make changes. They would need time to conduct a proper coaching search if that’s what they came up with. That would likely be done quietly behind closed doors. Similar to how Gallant was let go with the Knights and then already having Deboer lined up. Im sure if a coaching change were in order they would want to have the replacement in line already. My guess is they’re not giving up on playoffs yet. The less time they have to have Shaw coach the team on his own the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckleheads fan Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 2 hours ago, Down by the River said: I'm not saying strip Bo or anything like that, but the reaction to OEL by fans certainly can't be any different to how his teammates reacted (i.e., they loved it). You can't ask anyone to be a good fighter. You can't ask them to be tougher than anyone else. But you can ask/expect them to stick up for their teammate, no matter how unsuccessful they were in their attempt. Did OEL get revenge on McNabb? Certainly not. Things did not go well for OEL... but I don't think that mattered to his teammates. It certainly didn't matter to fans. In some ways I'm critical of Bo. But then again he is playing ~20 minutes a night, is the only guy taking faceoffs, and plays hard minutes. Maybe his just dead. Maybe he knows that the team can't afford to miss a shift. And this all comes down to roster construction. For example, fans can pick on Myers, but he'd be a fine #4 dman if this team had any depth on D. like 80% of the roster is playing higher up in the lineup than where they belong (especially because Petey/Boeser got demoted). Bowey is awful, Burroughs is out of his depth, Hunt is not defensively capable. There are just so many holes in this roster that the weaknesses of every player on the team get amplified. I will agree with the reaction to OEL's jumping in on McNabb. That took guts, McNabb's a big dude and he's tough, but you have to stick up for the young guys, or they're going to start to turtle thinking nobody has their back. I will also agree that Madison Bowey has proven in the past two games why he is a career AHLer. Hunt is likewise awful, especially if his partner isn't great in the defensive zone. I will disagree with your assessment of Burroughs, I think he's been quite good in the bottom pairing, especially considering that when he played during the last homestand with Hamonic he was forced to play his off side. I thought he was far better defensively than Rathbone, as when they got scored it, it was almost always Rathbone's mistake in coverage, plus Burroughs hits people. If he played every night, he'd be easily lead the team in hits. His play, along with OEL, Podz, Hogs, and Garland keeps me tuning in, even though I expect they're going to lose every game I watch. I have always been a big supporter of JB and Green, but unfortunately something is NOT working, and they're going to have to make a move. They should fire Green and Baumer. They should find a special teams oriented coach to come in and fix the PP/PK. I'd like to give Shaw a chance as interim head coach, I know he's been a finalist for other head coaching jobs, lets see if he can rally the troops and right the ship! I doubt that at this point in the season management is going to find, much less want to pay the $ for an experienced top tier NHL coach to come in and fix this mess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Francesco is the one guy who cuts guys off in meetings to say " So how is this going to make me money? Or " Hi, I'm francesco the vancouver canucks owner " Literally every time. Spends to the cap regardless how good we are because he wants to look good money wise. Not the brightest apple in that family tree apparently Take it for what its worth but these are facts lol Probably explains why our management team is never a bright spot, No smart guy seems to want to work for us as history shows since francesco took over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should have been done behind closed doors on the road trip, No one in their right mind sees the BS Green is pulling and considers that suitable for continued employment. Aquilini and Benning could have figured this out in Vegas and told Green not to get on the flight back home, giving themselves a couple of days to line up an actual coach.

Then no firing will take place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
