That stage 2 is counseling but not inpatient. Yeah he was with the wrong people. He needed to be removed from that. That's what I meant by sending to rehab. Away at an inpatient clinic. He had the insurance for it. I think management wanted to get rid of MG problem and not deal with it anymore. Getting suspended and sent to rehab is hitting rock bottom. If they wanted to do an intervention. Takes work. They didn't want to do it.

Habs. They knew he wasn't clean. That stage 2 stuff has to be disclosed on trade. So, what did they care. They got rid of a turd player and got a 5th rounder.

It's a shame it didn't work out but the team tried...the veterans all tried as well. The Sedins and Bieksa spent considerable time with the guy as well. He was in a brutal place and needed a fresh start. Good for him for salvaging his life and career

They had already entered him into stage 2 of rehab. They made the right and ethical decision to move him from his peer group. His peer group was a bunch of dbag real estate guys ( I know his crowd well) that loved getting sh!t faced and snorting coke. He had a serious coke problem and needed a fresh start. It's shameful when people criticize he Canucks handling of him when Montreal gave him a two month leash versus two years. He needed to hit rock bottom in Montreal before rebounding. Good for kassian. But it's horse poop that he didn't need to go

cocaine has been a staple for hockey players for many decades.

I know of 3 current canucks that use it

I know a couple guys who partied with kassian....said he always had 2 8balls for a night out. A 1/4 ounce is a LOT of cocaine for an evening

Ya, it was really bad. Seen him coming out of the parlour washroom on a weeknight with coke residue on his face

A box of crayons would be an upgrade

Leafs or Gibbons who will last longer?

I wasn't saying to not hire an ahl coach ...the original comment was about the panthers wanting green ...I suggested typically teams would hire their own guy or another teams ahl guy who has won at that level

Can't blame him when RA Richardey has more RBI than Travis, Bautista, Martin, Pillar

He just signed a 4 year extension we are stuck with his incompetence for at least two years

Stupid Lucic

On a side note, does anyone know why the Sharks and Oilers are hitting each other and being mean? Should they be thrown out of the game? I'm new to the sport and have only seen Canucks games? Why are they being mean and why aren't the refs stopping the violence?

How the (frank) is telling me that both AV and cooper went to the finals after being ahl coaches for the same team agreeing that teams don't typically hire other teams ahl coaches if they aren't successful in the ahl ?

I was backing you up with examples of coaches that went from ahl to nhl and did well after succeeding in the minors ..... and no it wasnt the same team

why do I have to explain this to you? Youre not dumb, so maybe youre tired?
