TB and CGY fans both said he was a bad GM(even despite a cup). Defending that hire is like Leafs fans when Nonis was hired, don't do it man.

Back when Tortorella's tactics were still relevant and the salary cap hadn't been implemented yet. Both have been underwhelming ever since.

This can't be a serious option or the Aquillinis have a lower hockey IQ then they already appear to.

OH Francesco what are you up to now? Will you do something smart for a new hire or are you going to do something stupid? Jay Feaster.. Seriously?? Face palm.

Gillis caught FA's ear and got a job.
Torts now has FA's ear and Feaster will get a job.
We are not winning the cup until FA goes deaf.

If nothing this gives me another reason to get hammered tonight. Drown my sorrows. If only Canucks were playing tomorrow and torts gets fired on Thursday and we hire Feaster on Friday. That will make it an entire week of drinking games. Wifey cannot complains since I will have valid reasons. Dreams

I know the process well. But what I want to know is if this is a bold move? Since the guy promising the bold move is moved.

Hiring the guy that got fired by the guy you fired, weird.

If this is true we are about to go into a dark age of canuck history. Boring defensive hockey. I want to see goal and fast paced end to end hockey. We will never have that with Torts.

"Stop this train... it's going to derail!" "Yeah... uh... the brake lever just broke..." "Oh (frank), now what?" "Now we pray... we're going to crash right in the middle of downtown Vancouver with a payload of cannolli, olive oil and Tampa Bay and Calgary rejects." "Hey it might not be so bad, we'll go down in Flames and Lightning!"

FFS, if Feaster is hired sales will drop further.

Here's an idea FA, hire a good senior hockey mind, whether its Linden or Naslund or whoever, I don't care, just do us all a favor and let them make the recommendation for the GM hire. And then stay in your hole.

Well, if Feaster is hired and Torts returns atleast we won't have to worry about any significant form of "expectations".

McDavid will tank his season to drop in the draft and avoid this poop show.

It won't be boring hockey once we trade Kesler for Brad Richards.
