I really don't see a problem with them being pissed. I can't see a company like Arbys paying someone to go on TV and say their food is fvcking horrible.

It's like having an ugly sister. You know she's ugly and you can call her ugly but it is not okay for others to call he ugly.

Hearing VAN owner Francesco Aquilini to meet with GM Jim Benning this afternoon. Neither individual will comment, but from what I understand, this is a meeting to understand why the team is losing and address it, not to make a change at the position.

You realize this likely means they're going to trade away another 1st round pick for a band-aid solution right? Based on the wording it doesn't necessarily mean within the front office

What a cowardly post. Grow up child.

I’d like see him name names.

Wonder if its JTM?

I’m sure it happens all the time in big markets, but funny nonetheless. Francesco has been outspoken against anyone or anything that puts him in a negative light

Being the problem? Being on the bottom 6 with EP?

At this point the best publicity they can give these shows is pulling their sponsorship.
- Load Management

The Canucks don’t sponsor those shows, there is no “advertising” other than that the team is being discussed. The advertisers are law firms, auction houses, manscaped etc.

That gives a great out for any player not happy here, say something negative about the owner and get the trade you want.

Financially. I wouldn't want to pay him 7.5 mil a year.

All of them, players who’ve left, have said the organization is a shit-show internally. Surprised Francesco hasn’t said anything about it.

He fired Linden because of philosophical differences, he fired Gillis for similar reasons, and Gillis is arrogant….yet he keeps Benning because he does what he’s told and he’s got shit for brains.

The position the club is in says much more about ownership than any other one particular thing.

Yup.

Well when Fort McMurry had the fired that burned most of the town there were a couple d-bags on here claiming it was karma and served them right.
So now BC is having these problems I guess it’s also karma and serves you right??

- VANTEL

My point wasn’t they wanted out but that they said the organization is a gong show. Eichel wanted out because they wanted him to have a surgery he didn’t want. At least that’s my understanding, although Buffalo and the Canucks are pretty much two of a kind in terms of internal turmoil and dysfunction.

Leafs trade for Kyle Clifford after he cleared waivers. Off to the Marlies.

With you being an upper management type it’s sometimes hard for the boys to distinguish what your actually saying, I just thought I’d put it in simplified terms
