What a joke. Vancouver's reputation proving true in this thread. How do you expect to have the mental fortitude to win 16 games in the post season if you're afraid of doing pushups?
I just don't get it.

Gillis says Kesler got a little banged up in final 2 games at Olympics. "We have to see how he is."
@BradZiemer·10 mins
Reading between lines of Gillis's radio appearance, sounds like we might see Nick Jensen sooner rather than later.

'Pretty rough' would be an understatement. Gonna be a tough game. Not sure what to expect tbh.

To bad we are not in that division. Or in the Northwest anymore where the bulk of the teams finished at the bottom of the league.
So this forum wanted av gone, now in a much harder division we want torts gone, we mine as well start recycling coaches like the oilers. We can change coaching but in this division with our players getting older, i dont think another new coach is going to turn anything around.

Just following the process that Aquilini says should be the consequences of the Canucks missing the play-offs.
There will be consequences...ticket prices will go up to make up for lost revenue.
Rumour is Gillis is on a much hotter seat than Torts.
Gillis thought they would be good enough to make a run this year, now has changed his mind and wants to retool. I think that pissed off ownership.
I think Aquilini has zero clue if he thought the team, as it currently is built, is good enough to win a cup. This year was always going to be a transitional year.

The core is good enough to make the playoffs. MG spent ~65M and likely had one of the highest off-ice budgets, for us to be a bottom 10 team is completely on the GM.
The core was good enough to win the President's trophy is consecutive years, an "off year" is a low playoff seed as a minimum.
I can see if Gillis sold Aquaman the "we'll make it as a wildcard and from then anything can happen", I don't believe Aquaman would buy anything else Gillis is peddling. I'm pretty sure Gillis is gone if we miss the playoffs.

My biggest worry is that regardless of the outcome of the season Aquaman is going to be happy with the revenue Gillis has generated. Canucks/Millionaire's merch has been selling well and I'm assuming the outdoor game will make quite a bit of money.
It could be a situation where the owner turns a blind eye as long as the fans keep showing up like in Edmonton.

We have a bunch of players who play like a shell of their former selves locked into long term contracts with no way out and it's the coaches fault? Get real. We're hemorrhaging points left right and center. You're damn right they should bloody do push-ups. Hell if I we're Torts, I'd have them bag skate til game day and fire off warning shots, at their feet, everytime I see someone slow down.
I swear......"He yells at them and makes them do pushups", "this act is getting old fast" Wah wah wah. They're a bunch of millionares who've been signed to lucrative contracts to play a sport. And they aren't even doing that properly! Maybe we shouldn't blame the new coach thats trying to motivate them, and maybe look at the sweaty guy up in the press box that signs players on the decline to pay raises for long term deals.

Canucks tickets aren't selling anywhere like they use to sell, owner won't turn a blind eye to that. Canucks have way over priced their product, this isn't the same fun, exciting, winning team it was in 2011, its a much worse product that's now playing a boring style but Canucks are greedy and still trying to get the top dollar it was able to pull from the 2011 days. I won't pay these prices to watch this average declining team, let alone put up with the hassle of going to the game with parking and getting out of there after the game when you have as manny people as a small town all leaving at once.
Where's this rumour about Gillis seat being hot now? HNIC said his seat wasn't even warm yet.
