But it was presented as hockey talk by NYN... and I am showing the contradiction in his idea.

He posted that today btw... and today I'm addressing it.

Something that will never change in here... applauded by people until someone disagrees then they are being insulting or railroading threads....

Since you are playing the control freak now, I'll count how many times you get in people's faces about discussing something from an earlier thread.

But there was that many pages discussing the hirings of past inexperienced people and how those mistakes shouldn't be repeated. Now people want to go off about people not having a problem with it in the past so they must be sexist if they have a problem with it now....

Or could it be that a few people here don't want to see the Canucks stack positions with very little NHL experience AGAIN.

- boonerbuck


No there wasn’t. Nobody blinked twice about Benning being hired at the time, in fact, it was applauded.

Only a few raised concerns about Green, ASL leading the “no interview” charge.

With JR in charge, the situation is very different than when Linden was the boss.

I don't know why people keep bringing up gender TBH. The Canucks have hired 6 first timers in upper management . Last time we hired three first timers . I guess doubling the chances doubles the odds of success or does it double the chances of failure?

People forget when we hired Benning he was the talk of the town back then and Linden was the golden boy to calm the media. Enter Allvin and Sedins .

Weisbrod was a horrible choice and we have replaced him with his associates Derek Clancey .

My opinion of Granato has to do with the job I seen her do in Seattle as head of scouting and yikes.

I see so many similarities between this new group and the one that just left.

When I see the names floating around that are mentioned in trades it looks no different to me than what Benning was trying to do.

I know right... people in here who can only talk gender when you talk about these hirings think they are not narrow minded.

Meanwhile, Rutherford has himself set up pretty good right now. You question his group and instantly you are a sexist old white boy.

That was me.

I'm not disputing Jordan Belfort. But every other character in the movie never existed. No , Donnie Azoff, Naomi Lapaglia, or FBI agent Patrick Denham. Made up.

Now some of the story is true to fact but once again, say it with me, euhemerism.

But it was not fiction was my point.

Not at the time of the hirings but over the last few years certainly in hind sight and expressing how it cant be repeated. Point is, it's not an issue all of a sudden.

Only a sexist racist would want a more experienced group.

Meanwhile, Rutherford who protected wife beaters in the past had one of them as a finalist for the Canucks GM job. Is he sincere about changing his ways or is he insulating himself. Stay tuned...

Yes it is.

You see the movie Inglourious Basterds? You can use any real person's name and tell a story with them in it. Doesn't make it factual. Makes it entertaining.

I'll call him out when he posts the same post in two different threads because he didn't get the response he wanted the first time.

On the point of Seattle she wasn't the one picking players in expansion, as head scout she would have advised but not made the final decisions, so we don't really know what her opinions were.

Point taken .

Counterpoint is if Francis took the better picks than what she suggested, I would hate to see her list of recommendations then.

The new thread opened while I was writing it is all. People shifted to the next thread before I even posted. There's literally 2 min between the two posts... so much for that narrative.


Enough with the lies ASL... it's a bad look for you.


Oh and can't help but notice when one of your buddies kept the topic going after I dropped it, you didn't say poop.
