All i see here is speculation with 0 proof backing it…which seems to be Vancouver medias specialty.
Imagine believing anything Steve Simmons says
Is it on the coach? He can only ice the players that the GM or POHO acquire. I can agree if you're saying the players aren't playing up to their potential. That's also really on the players to prepare themselves. Yes coaches can instill duties or new systems, but after that, I don't know how much you can pile on the coach. The same players have pretty much played the same for 3 veteran coaches that ALL played in the NHL. Same results. Is that coaching? Or does the management need to get these underperfoming players out of here?
Sounds like there is trouble with Aquilini again. The owner of the Canucks is NOT a hockey guy — he's a 100% money guy. Aquilini doesn't care about building a winning team for the future, he only cares about the profit margin of his team TODAY. Vancouver fans have proven to be among the most loyal fans in NHL history for decades. They continuing to show up for games, buying tickets and beer and food —- win or lose. That will continue and Aquilini knows it. So any radical trades and big moves by a new GM that might upset Francesco's golden apple cart is not going to go down well. It will take years for the Canucks to rebuild, no matter who is their GM.
It's easy to see what is wrong with Canucks. Look down the road to Seattle Kraken. They have the opposite of Canucks —- a real hockey TEAM —- four hard-working, fast-skating, aggressive lines that have fought their way to Number One in the Pacific Division in only two years. Kraken management has shown Canucks management exactly what they need to do to rebuild. Unless that happens, expect several more years in the basement for Canucks fans.
Worst franchise ever
Imo it's the Aquilini's who are the problem. They must be the worst owners in the NHL, those morons need to remove themselves from the equation and just be the owners. No interfering with the GM's or coaches, no influence on he draft or trading
Be happy with you money and F right off lol
Let him go , he messed it up now wants out.
Uh, this is the Canucks, no surprise.
Stop putting everything in to the swedish scouting team
maybe its up to the fans and ownership to help Mr Rutherford become that "Cake Decorator" he always wanted to explore. Maybe, Mr Rutherford wanted to explore his artistic side of his brain and was being held back by the Canucks org?? Maybe, ownership and fans are being remiss in preventing him from exploring his creativity??
Trevor Linden proposed a rebuild and ownership made it clear it wasn't happening. I am a life long Canucks fan but I've come to grips with that, as long as ownership remains the same, things won't change.
Popcorn on overdrive , love this dumpster fire franchise
Rutherford, Allvin, Aquilini & Tocchet all can leave. I would be much happier if all four left Vancouver and never came back for any reason.
There all pawns ♟️for the true King 🤴in charge Francesco Aquilini
The Vancouver fan base is toxic. They want the team blown up for a rebuild then complain when they trade away the players or change the coach. They want untradable players traded , throw jerseys on the ice. I can't blame him for wanting out.
Wait why does he want out? The entire management is created by him and now even the head coach. This makes no sense, unless the owner is forcing him to do things.
The reason he wants out.. He's the one that looks stupid for doing that too Bruce… 💯💯💯
YUPIE …..YUPIE …..
I don't know about this one all hear say from one to the other
One day at a time
GO CANUCKS GO YEA BABY
rutherford is such a classless bum lol , walked out on the penguins in a huff because he couldn't get his way so just abandoned the team mid season
surprised no one talks about the sean burke thing either
Sorry, i had to turn the video off once i knew the article was from Steve Simmons.
Ownership is at fault but Rutherford trying to crawl out of his portion before a rebuild that will cost him his job anyways.
I will drive him to the airport.
If he wants out, why doesn't he resign and please everyone!
I dont really care, but I still want to know what you say on your sign off lego. It's been a year and I can't figure it out.
