IF Gillis is the only one fired, Torts will likely sit in on and have a say in the GM hiring process & IMO that can't happen. 1 step forward 10 steps back. Both need to go.

How long until we wish for the Messier/Keenan days.

Why play top players so much? Torts: It depends on depth. There were some games I played the Sedins 24 mins. Do I want to do that? no



Ohhh snap...

Gillis's next press briefing:

"Like I said before, we all bear responsibility for what went wrong this season. I mean look at the highlights: storming the Flames dressing room, not playing Luongo in the Heritage Classic, shotblocking and more shotblocking, Eddie Lack playing 100 games in a row. We're all Canucks right? We all share blame, right? You know, we all stormed the Flames dressing room. I was in the box upstairs, but we all need to share that one, really? The Heritage classic thing?"

They're not talking to the public, both of their comments seem directed to the Aquilinis. Time to blow it up, ask the Sedins to retire and trade everyone else, let the Aquilinis make the trades it's their investment/toy.

Until the Aquilinis are gone it wont matter who the GM is, who the coach is, or even who plays for the team. WE ARE (frank)ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've gotta believe they're learning lessons from this; this is not a toy but rather a 700 million dollar business. One can hope!!

You can clean the house all you want, steam clean the (frank)er. It's still the same house, and we know how well Aquilinis construct things.

The best case (realistic) scenario is the Gillis and Torts are both gone.

Two more hockey men, or would you like to fold the team?

I'd like the team and building sold to a real business man (Pattison) we need an owner that's not in it for his ego.

Wasn't this the same owner in 2011 & 2012?

The Dallas Cowboys have had the same owner since their "Glory Hole Days" (- Jerry Jones)... That doesn't mean it's a healthy situation. If anything, that sniff of success can cause an egomanic/delusional owner to think he's better equipt to run things than he really is.

Yup - he hopefully takes a step back though.

Saw the clip of Torts today, he's definitely not happy with MG.

Where's Booner, he's the only one who knows what really needs to happen?

I just watched it as well and got the same feeling. Someone is getting $8mil, who will it be? and how the hell can I get fired by Aquilini.

No, I can't even grow a black hair, but I could use the same hooknose disguise that Gillis used.

Gillis President
Lorne AVP
Hextall GM
Naslund AGM (PR move to drive ticket sales and prices)
Gillman AGM (cap only)
Gary Roberts Player Development and Pro scout
Gully HC
Dineen Assistant (pp specialist)
- Linden_4_Capt

Gillis President: okay
Lorne AVP: okay
Hextall GM: yes
Naslund AGM (PR move to drive ticket sales and prices): would you really buy more tickets with Naslund in the fold? He was a great player but he's not Linden and was never really a heart and soul guy. I like him but wouldn't buy a ticket just because his name is on the website.
Gillman AGM (cap only): seems good enough at that job
Gary Roberts Player Development and Pro scout: will never happen. Gary hates the Canucks for their treatment of Cody.
Gully HC: don't care either way. next year isn't a cup year anyway.
Dineen Assistant (pp specialist): why? because the canadian women scored a few pp goals?
