Today I learned that the former Canucks enforcer Enrico Ciccone confronted Mark Messier about his lack of leadership in the locker room
Fun story from Enrico Ciccone (Trade deadline always makes me reflect) on what a good captain Messier was and the solid coaching of Mike Keenan:

Also Gino Odjick: “Look what happened with Trevor (Linden) in St. Louis when Keenan gave him (hell). Did he come over to him and say, ‘Look Trev, we’re with you?’ He didn’t say a word. How can you be captain like that? How can the team be together that way? He’s not with the players. He’s the one who controls everything.”

Mike Keenan acts like a bag of shit towards his players… FUCK MARK MESSIER! Am I getting that right?
The Messier situation in Vancouver is so weird on so many levels. The guy has two fanbases that would gladly lie down in traffic for him (hell, I’m wearing my throwback Oilers Messier jersey right now), but everything seemed to go south in Vancouver.
It sure seems like his ego took over once he got there.
Among soccer fans, folks who don’t like Pep Guardiola call him “bald fraud”.
Mayhap Canucks fans can have our own bald fraud?
Fuck messier
