Please explain what this has to do with job performance

Not sure why anyone has to explain anything about giving someone a nickname, if you are that concerned about it, why didn't you say anything about nicknames like Allvin and the Chipmunks, or just yesterday when Lefty was called Loadcatcher?
Also, you must have missed the time when her Twitter selfies of her in a bikini were posted in here, hence the nickname, Bikini Rachel.

Catchy.

I think so . Bikini NN could stand for NorthNuck or No Nuts. Your choice. Anyways you can now go back to saving the world and protecting them from big old mean Vantel.

Some people are just not too smart and twist everything.

Yes everyone knows if you want to white knight, the niche hockey forums are where it's at

I just like pointing out people's obvious biases, doesn't really matter what the subject matter is. A lot of people throw hissy fits when confronted with it, much like you are right now.

I am thinking we might have to start calling you Bikini Vantel.

Truth be told, I actually wanted to draft Reinhart that year by trading up to get him, as I’ve always advocated the build through the middle of the ice mantra. Turns out his skating is too suspect and he’s not really a player that would be successful in the middle because of it.

All that said, I never wanted to draft Virtanen, BUT, once they took him I said he’s the type of player the Canucks need as he can skate like the wind and he plays a heavy game. Which he did in junior and at the start of his NHL career. Although he and McCann were clearly brought up too early. I don’t know if Virtanen’s career would’ve turned out differently had he been handled better, as he was his own worst enemy.

At the end of the day I was wrong about both Reinhart and Virtanen because I don’t watch enough junior hockey to get a good gauge on these kids but at least Reinhart has had a successful NHL career.

That's a pretty big understatement on what you said about JV. You claimed "he was the player that was going to turn around the franchise". You were saying stuff like "Gillis watch and learn, this is how it's done"... and "Jake is going to make the doubters eat their words"

Even though you admitted today that you liked the pick after it was made, you also got caught by me saying that you never liked the picks from the start until I went back and pulled up all the quotes... and for what it's worth, you are still downplaying what you were saying about JV back then.

I was waiting for you on this.

Dude, because someone doesn't think a person is good at a job, I don't think you should automatically assume that it is about a person being female, Swedish or old.
Vantel has stated several times, how he doesn't have faith in Rutherford, using his drafting and trying to retool in Pittsburgh, as part of his reasoning.
As for Granato, I don't like her either, not because she is female, as I have clearly been a big supporter of Emilie and I believe I may have been the first on here to state how I would really like to see Jennifer Botterill on the management team.

The Canuck's are doing an internal investigation to find out who their leaker close to the front office is. This makes me laugh... Granato married to an insider.... Hmmm.... I know where I'd start looking.

Yup.

Some seem to think that because you are a fan of the Canucks, you must agree or approve of everything Canucks.

Always nice to remind yourself what a properly constructed team looks like
