Confirmed with Link: Canucks’ COVID Part 2

[sting101]

Why us?

This XXXkin franchise i swear.

15yrs of shitty leadership

Thing is, Aquilini is just as culpable in this instance. He’s the one who’d have the direct line to Bettman/the BOG to effect schedule changes. This is a failure for both him and Benning.

I don’t disagree. But he is also the only one that can do something. And that something is purging the front office, hiring a president and taking an obvious and public back seat to running the organization.

It’s actually not that hard of a solution. It’s just a solution I doubt his arrogance allows him to carry out.

To piggyback on VanJack’s point - definitely fire to this smoke. Friedman says the players are upset and felt left in the dark by the organization.

Props to Miller and the guys for standing up for themselves - but the Canucks (management, ownership) should have been the ones leading that charge.

Elliotte put it as diplomatically as he could “fences need to be mended between players and the organization”


Wow. Where’s IMac? That’s the second time Elliote stunted on IMac this week alone!

I’ve never heard an owner lobbying for schedule changes but I’ve heard of GMs doing it.

 

[Wall of Wonder]

Aquilini is doing the same thing with the Canucks as the Vancouver Titans sigh.

I heard the same roundtable interview with Elliot Friedmann on HNC......these Canuck players are seriously pissed right now. David Amber asked the rhetorical question about whether the players are ticked off with management, or exactly who they're angry at. But nobody was willing to speculate.

But it doesn't take a genius to figure out who has aroused their ire.....it's ownership, management and the NHL in that order.

People have to stop letting the manager off the hook. They wouldn’t have done it with any other manager in team history.

Gonna be sad when the usual suspects choose Benning over the players

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Not sure if it has been brought up here yet (too many posts to read).... but does anyone else think it is a coincidence that the Canucks had by far the busiest start to the year and ended up being the ones to get ravaged by covid? Basically what i am implying here is that because they had the busiest schedule, they were the most exhausted team and therefore their immune systems may have been weak. No I am not blaming anyone or making excuses, merely curious if this could have played a role. We know that exhaustion causes immune systems to be weak and we know that those with weak immune systems are at higher risk of contracting covid... so put two and two together.

Despite all this smoke, I still bet Benning lasts at least another full year. Lets be real - Aquillini is equally at fault here

 

[polarbearcub]

This organization is a mess. Top down.. what a joke

I sent @Mr. Canucklehead a dm about it since it’s not proven when the pic was taken but I really doubt someone would photoshop something like that. Shouldn’t be hard for one of the canucks media guys to figure it out

I don’t think there’s any harm in posting the picture. It looks like it could be him - but hard to say definitely with the mask.

If the Gaudette patient 0 rumour was true, and if the players were upset with him about it, then I can't imagine they'll be happy with Benning now.

And for any of the posters who get upset when people question Benning's intellect - it's because of stupid shit like this.

Im pretty sure Jim is still at the u18s watching the gold medal game

I'd agree that doing this under normal circumstances would be unethical but I think it's 100% fair game to take these pictures given the circumstances, provided that this is him.

Also he's a shit person so I don't really feel bad for him to begin with.

Its unethical under any circumstance........ How would you like me stalking you in public taking photos without your knowledge

It's no different than taking photos of anyone breaking any other law.

That being said, Johnston's tweet indicates that he wasn't breaking quarantine rules so this is all a moot point. I do find it ridiculous that he and Weisbrod are considered essential workers though.

speaking as someone who is on day 8 of quarantine after returning to Canada from Texas, and who had someone stop by my Airbnb today to check that I was here and that I hadn’t left for any reason, how exactly is he not breaking rules?
