2020/2021 Around the League Thread | Part 3

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I wouldn't have minded Brian Burke as President...too late now.

Would Aquilini hire anyone as strong willed as Burke though?

Probably not...So I guess we can cross 'strong willed' candidates off of the checklist?

Rutherford is 72. Hiring him would blow @StreetHawk ’s notion that 62 year old Gillis is too old out of the water.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Really? Whats the latest rumor? I hope it is for the president position if so, I prefer somebody else for the GM spot.

he announced today he wants another job in hockey just a month after resigning for unexplained personal reasons.

which adds fuel to the theory that was raised at the time that he suddenly resigned because his contract has a cooling off clause that prevents him from taking another hockey job for a set period of time. he was making sure he could start a new job in the offseason.

which then causes you to look at teams a month ago that might have been looking for a new gm or president.

I would’ve welcomed him back in Vancouver.

 

[EpochLink]

Rutherford had devolved into one of the worst GMs in the league. I want him nowhere near this team.

This is our punishment for 2011.

 

[I am toxic]

I haven't seen anything that convinces me that any of the names mentioned as candidates for President would be as capable as Gillis.

But I believe it is impossible to go back to a broken relationship.

Very unfortunate. Hopefully I am wrong.

I mean, there has to be a first time, right?

LOVe to see Gillis back, and President of hockey works.

I thought there was some sexual allegations that he was involved in which forced his resignation. If that's the case, I wouldn't hire him. Although hiring an OBC guy as president is something I wouldn't mind.

The one owner who gave him a chance in 2008 would have to be the one to give him his second chance in the NHL 7 years after he was let go?

 

[Paradise Circus]

Beauty game at MSG tonight

Well, given that Gillis was advising Aquilini at the time, and based on what we know about Aquilini, Gillis probably happened to say some things that resonated with Frankie. I don't think they're on the same wavelength anymore.

 

[Fatass]

Landeskog body slammed an Arizona player. Really nasty. Headlock, and body slam. This game might get really good! Bring on the old time hockey!!!

The Rat got kneed. Poor little Rat fink got a boo boo.

Buffalo down by one at the 1st intermission to the Philadelphia Flyers

Nashville doubles up the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 2-1 win earlier this afternoon

MTL about to be fired?

 

[mossey3535]

Of course Smith is back to normal now.

Also, he went down early (with poor form) which facilitated the first goal.

Who?

He never really changed. Canucks just logo hunted all day and didn't really challenge him.

 

[mossey3535]

To be fair he did make some crazy saves on us, and then also made some others where he clearly had no idea what he was doing but got lucky.

Just fitting that his hot/lucky streak would end just after he plays us.

 

[MS]

Joe Thornton 10 points in 10 games. League minimum.

Remember when Benning fans were trying to laugh at Dubas when our record was only a bit worse then theirs last year? Good times.

 

[canuckking1]

Trocheck PPG. Another gamble won by the Hurricanes.

 

[mossey3535]

LOL love Bieksa both dragging and praising Burrows as a coach. And then sarcastically throwing in a "your best friend Ron" to boot.
