hard to say, we'd need to send back one of Hamonic or Poolman so it depends how they pro scout those guys.

Dude. If all it took was to send Poolman or Hamonic back, I’d do that deal in a heart beat.

HNIC just threw a hissy fit over this. Man is the media bunch of cry babies when people called them on their bs.

 

They take shots at the team and our fan base all the time. The second one criticism is thrown their way they get so defensive and start whining.

 

It really highlights the arrogance of some of these media types. They really seem to think their word is gospel.

Wow, couldn't agree more. What does this clown know about running an NHL franchise, why they fired them, or what the resulting plan is, or what the timing implications are? What an absolute hack, the media has just become unacceptable in the garbage they produce. All credibility has been lost in my mind. It's beyond readable.

It's like they can't help themselves. 

It was a nice couple of days where everyone seemed to be positive but ultimately our media and some fans went into withdrawal.

Like nobody cares about the human aspect for the first guys fired but these 2 they do?

Everyone fired was part of the team and most likely those 2 would have been fired by JR,in fact this might have been his choice, nobody really knows the exact timeline of events.

I am a bigger fan of FA after this. About time the  sports media which let's be honest is the scummiest of media, right up there with TMZ is called out for the a sh*t they write.

They got rid of Don Cherry after trying for years. Look at how HNIC has changed since. They all sit up there in their checkered socks and do their kumbaya moments. Bieska is the only one who questions what they're bleating out. MacLean, the back stabber he is, pushes the holier than tho and gets away with it. 

 

I look around the NHL and see ex-Canucks populating a lot of teams. Chatfield last night had a solid game for Carolina. The destruction of the prospect pool is on who's head? JB or Green. JB provided those players to Green and Green couldn't seem to teach them enough to stick. Was the GM's imperative to make playoffs at any cost?

I asked this before. Why is Wall's name still listed on the management list? 

 

He is still listed under Management but not under Hockey OPP's.

I guess they want to keep him in their org but haven't found a new role for him , yet. Interestingly his profile was shifted from Hockey Ops to Management but his title remained the same. Strange.

The majority of them are simpletons, mental midgets, simply because they have a face on TV or any type of media. 

 

Guys like Bieksa, Burke, or anyone who has the guts to tell the truth are the ones whose opinions matter most.

Wall has around 23 years with the organization. I thought he was an up and comer. 

 

Maybe he is a candidate for the GM role.   Just spit balling.

 

It is really odd that his name wasn't removed.   Could just be a mistake.

How the hell can they throw a hissy fit over that? Which part is incorrect.

I really hope Aquilini send a kind letter, to HNIC and as asks them, which part is wrong?

Clowns in the press and medias becomes Kings in their own minds. 
Think they can get away with anything. So happy Aquilini has the balls to tell them off.

that $&!# bag Ron Maclean also did a little segment about a national anthem troll of us too. HNIC panel is trash without Bieksa, they are either Leaf blowing or fawning over McDavid with the occasional Vancouver insult thrown in.
