Fans want JB gone so he fires them and then hires what you all called the ALL-STAR management team. Now that they are floundering, he has to sell the team, it is all his fault. We are the fans we actually own the team and and and... He should sell the team and move it to Hamilton or Quebec. It's people like you that are the reason we have sweater ads, helmet ads, virtual broadcast ads... You juust take it, no lube needed. When I call the brass 'all- star', I am mocking them. They have all these credentials but dont address our needs. I am also not a typical fans in the sense you mean. I have sent more dollars the way of AQ than most. Until 3 years ago I was one of Vancouvers biggest retail liquor buyers. I helped get some of his products off the ground. Became a top seller in BC of some of his stuff. I did this by reducing my mark-up on AQ products and provided them free promo amongst other things. I did all of this because I love the Canucks. The familly do have their hands in the team ops. I have sat at the owners table enough times, worked closely with his people...oh and one of my friends dated his daughter for years. Btw, since you are on his leg and are in Mexico(?) you may be interested in the fact that his favourite alcohol is tequila...the more expensive, the better. My suggestion was to a poster that wanted him to sell to another person and move the team. I suggested, sure but why not to a person that doesn't want to move the team. You however, doubled down on selling and moving the team because of your disgust at typical fans? because of the way we support you don't want us to have a team... Well, you can bugger off. Unless you an AQ shill and then I understand you are just doing your job. Edited December 21, 2022 by bishopshodan 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best interviews I've heard on the team's status.

The same fans that support this team, creating a 1 billion dollar franchise. Without the fans, AQ would not be lookiing at a $750 mil profit if he was to sell. Those fans that cough up thier hard earned money should be allowed to speak their mind. That is what is really pathetic. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think his insisted upon direction to management is not going to build us a winner. But then it did work with Gillis. So maybe the owner’s direction can work again if we have the right key core to build around. It’s just frustrating watching the future being sold for trying to make “win now” moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell ya, I would probably be the same as an owner. He has a lot of passion and wants to get a cup for his familly, that really do love the Nucks. He and I are too much fans. I would want everything my way too. So, unfortunately I would probably not be a good owner. The Canucks have had a few owners, they may have more in the future. Like any business, it is nothing without the support of the customers. AQ should probably sit up and pay attention otherwise he will no longer be the richest man in the world. Wait, thats a different dude...but same sentiment/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, thats a different dude...but same sentiment/ Seems to me he gave JR three years to build a winner around the current key core pieces. One year has already gone by. So two years left for JR to make the supporting cast good enough that the club is winning. To me that’s a scary situation. Looks like we will be sacrificing a lot of the future in hopes to “win now”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is because of what you point out alot, which is the truth, that the owners are impatient. My problem is that they havent done enough IMO....but...there is a but...If, they manage to grab a top draft pick, trade for a D-man, get us out of cap hell and Demko comes back like, as a great poster calls him, double bubble Demko. Then I will turn my frown upside down and sing their well deserved praises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, J.T., and others on the team haven't finished, talking, about doing something, yet. If Eli Wallach was still alive they could get him to do a little speech about how when it is time to do something, you should do it; and not just talk about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
