pretty much everything zilly said is true. it doesnt help that most of the canucks' current problems are a result of previous management's bad decisions (trading away eriksson who only had 1 year left on his deal, bringing in OEL and garland who both have bad contracts with lots of term). can't trade away our problems cuz other teams want to win and are also up against the salary cap, so why would they ever take our terrible players.
Coach Boudreau was essentially used as a scapegoat for the team's poor play in spite of these poor signings from old management and a failure to acknowledge the gaping hole in our defensive depth by current management. Canucks are now on their 3rd head coach in 14 months, and they are still paying both Bruce Boudreau and Travis Green. with this in mind, something tells me it's not Boudreau's fault (aka the guy that turned this 8-15-2 team into a 40-30-12 team by the end of last season).
if u want my insider information, i know someone who works the 50/50 draft during home games and they say that the owner, Francesco Aquilini, is one of the rudest people they have ever met and it is rumoured that he is trying to do everything in his power to win a stanley cup before his dad dies (he is very old). obviously a sad situation for him cuz his dad is dying or whatever but to treat ur employees (who are both actively involved with the on-ice product, and those who are involved with fan interaction) like dog shit and force management into these ballsy moves and signings is just not how you deal with that. #SellTheTeam ...
