I've been a long time season ticket holder and have been to many games over the years. Here's is what is different right now. The stands were filled with Oilers fans. These people are buying tickets from Canucks fans who are tuning out and selling their seats. Don't blame them $200 seats are tough to just waste if you don't feel like going to watch a losing team. This will continue. So get used to this Canucks fans. Being in a building where there are so many Oilers fans they are taunting Canucks fans with their chants and cheers and jeers is just not fun. I am appalled at what a lousy job Jim Rutherford has done. Allvin is a nobody so he doesn't count. This mess is all on JR. I will not be buying season tickets next year. This mess has to end and I won't support it anymore. Get rid of Rutherford and bring in somebody who at least knows that you can't destroy the culture of a team without any plan to build it better. He wants a retool. What an idiot. He is destroying the very fibre of the team, while opposing fans cheer and jeer and taunt the home fans in their own building. What a (re) tool he is. JR is a puppet to Aquaman. Don't support the team with buying tickets. #sell the team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, there doesn't seem to be much hope on the horizon. It's not going to be better until we get new ownership. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Path Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm really failing to see what the issue is. How did Canucks management disrespect Boudreau? Making him coach when he was on contract to do so? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughcat Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I haven't really posted much for years, but this is the most ashamed I've been as a Canucks fan. Ownership and management are nothing short of reprehensible. I don't live in the Lower Mainland so I haven't been to many games live. However, I think it will be a long time before I'll feel comfortable spending money on this franchise after this.

Can't wait for the Canucks to come out with some Propoganda about "supporting mental health" in the community. Won't that be funny! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Rutherford said that his comments were "overplayed," and in a sense, they were. But he openly criticized Boudreau's system in the media, so how did he expect the players to buy in to that system? Nonetheless, the players were clearly distraught about the inevitable coaching change. Boudreau was a favourite with the players, as he was with us.

Popular Post Tiger-Hearted Posted January 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2023 I will always bleed the blue, green and white and the black, red and yellow of the Canucks but as a longtime passionate Canucks hockey fan, I have never been more embarrassed, ashamed and appalled to be a fan as I am right now. The good news is that the classy Bruce Boudreau is now free of this idiotic and moronic circus(not counting Stan Smyl, the Sedins, Thomas Gradin and Cammi Granato). The day when Francesco Aquilini and his criminal family are no longer the owners, it should be a civic or a provincial holiday. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naahhh. That was really toxic with the Keenan era on a whole new level. It was not good the way this has unravelled for BB and for the record I think JR has not done well.....but the team has sucked and JR's comments were defensible. The press here constantly pushes and prods for little details and JR gave them what they wanted without a plan in action but it's the press that has been the most vitriol out of anyone. They've also pumped this story up to no end which is more embarrassing to BB. The reality is that any team would fire the coach though with the performance we're seeing. The GM should be on the hot seat of course too. The only difference in this case is that the Vancouver media helps the snowball effect of a bad situation.

So Aquaman wanted to have BB this year also. JR didn’t… Who won the battle of coaches?

Pretty normal situation in NHL when players are in that position quite often. Why is it a difference because it’s a coach? i've never heard of a player being subjected to firing or seen a player fired in the middle of a season. getting traded and getting fired is 2 completely different thing. you can argue it's no difference from player getting bought out. sure but players get bought out in the summer not in the middle of the season.. and chances they'll find work again right away making just as much as before buyout + new contract vs a coach getting fired. they usually don't find a job right away. maybe there was a team during last summer if they didn't keep boudreau would have signed him if he was available? now they no longer need a coach so that opportunity is gone? and might be years again before another team that might be compatible with the fired coach have an opening? nhl players will keep getting opportunity unlike coaches who might be a decent coach but the team style is not compatible and it might be a long time before something compatible comes along.
