I think if you’ve been fully vaccinated the symptoms are mild.

Yes, and the people that chose not to get vaccinated? Who cares

This is already the case Codes. Proof of vaccine and government issued photo ID and masked up in public spaces. The table is your personal bubble - though I think it’s a stupid rule, as four people at a table laughing and talking is far more likely to project virus than someone walking to the washroom on their own…

I'm so behind. I havent been to a sit down restaurant in forever. Too hard with a 4 year old and a 2 year old. Generally just get takeout. I like the idea of scanning the QR code moving forward. Lots of tears will be incoming on that.

I can’t see Aquilini going from two executives up to ten, he’s too cheap for that. If they’ve got the right support systems in place I could see them hiring her for sure.

Call me optimistic but I think Rutherford took the job on the condition that he'd have autonomy to rebuild the front office the way he wants.

I'm envisioning a larger front office staff with multiple AGMs.

This has me excited because this is exactly what the organization needs.

However, doesn't it seem like Rutherford is acting like the GM when he should be searching for that person? He's gonna a pull a D!ck Cheney who was in charge of vetting potential candidates and recommending a VP choice to GWB. He's gonna say, 'after a long and exhaustive search, the best candidate is me.'

That may be true but that also doesn’t make it right to not hire old white guys if they are the best candidates. Hire a women in a similar capacity to the Sedins. Let them learn and earn a promotion.

I wouldn't get caught up in a title, just consider it a training position.

You missed the early days, I loved when a 19 year old kid would force me to put sanitizer on my hands when entering a restaurant. I’ve been practicing washing my hands for awhile now. Such a joke

No: he has loads of experience
- CanuckDon


Yeah, loads of experience as a pro scout.

I’m not against his hiring to the position, in fact, it’s just what I think they should do. Hire people with a high level of expertise in specific areas to oversee those departments.

Lots of fake vaccine passports out there. Good enough to allow travel.

Quite honestly, I care, I am waiting for a knee replacement and have already been informed that I will have to wait at least another year because of a backlog created by patients with Covid, taking up the hospital beds.

With these games being postponed, do the recent call-ups still count towards the cap?

Another topsy-turvy morning of blog writing end with the postponement of this weekend's games.

I honestly thought the opportunity for two more full houses this weekend before the new capacity restrictions kick in would be too much to resist, but I feel like this is a much safer course of action.

Anyway, new blog is up with the latest as of Saturday morning...

By the sounds of things, they are going to have 4 or 5 AGM's, I don't think having a person with minimal front office experience will be a problem, especially if the others are experienced and the other one is a sharp-minded individual.
Although the position might say AGM, the role could be similar to a Director of______, position.
I personally want to see the Canucks hire the sharpest available minds, which I believe Jennifer Botterill is.

On this I see JR mentoring & grooming AGM’s. Call it a new wave & investing in a bigger better front office. Delegate & spread work loads after all never can have enuf AGM’s with covid around lol
