Renaud Lavoie tweeted it, so it's legit.

Congrats to your team. Now that the gong show is over, your team can begin their route back to being a great team again. Looking forward to what new management will do.

How do you fire the GM and leave the coach?

 

[Ryp37]

Aquilinis are ****ing morons

How do you fire the GM and leave the coach?

Wouldn't they leave this up to the new GM to decide?

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

How do you fire the GM and leave the coach?

Nonis/AV.

How do you fire the GM and leave the coach?

Insanity often begins this way.

 

[canuck4life16]

terrible big mistake

 

[McHortton]

This isn't going to end well. Spoiled fans we have , that are happy now but won't be in the long run. I for one am not happy.

I don't expect his tenure to last much longer. If they don't fire him, the new GM will replace him.

Matter of time.

 

[arttk]

God I hope we don't hire a former player with no actual management/business experience to be our GM.

 

[Shorthander]

If he's replaced with anyone but Lawrence Gilman I'm just gonna shake my head. The fact that this couldn't even wait until the season officially ended indicates a desperate attempt to please the fans rather than make the right decision for the team.

The "Red Wedding" begins! !!!

Dear God, the season ticket holders are running the Canucks.
