Everyone else: Hfboards is negative as f*** and whine about everything

HFboards today:

Tej Dhaliwhal is going to have a fit if everyone becomes really positive and hopeful about this team.

The news that Frankie Blueberries might be getting fired by his dad and brother is the most jawdroppingly brilliant thing I could have ever imagined.

I've never seen such an embodiment of the concept of a Failson.

Where are the FA getting fired rumors coming from?

Matt Sekeres primarily but other media have also suggested that the winds have changed over the last week.

Previous thread

absolutely amazeballs if true, but i believe this is a pr stunt until i see it.

i can see francesco allegedly steps back, benning is fired and they pretend to have restructured.

i can even see aquaman neutered for a while.

but i don't see that aquaman is truly gone so long as the family owns the team. he will just be biding until things settles down.

then again, i would never have believed the aqualinis would leak the idea of restructuring at the ownership level. it's absolutely amazing this is even a story.

sekeres seems to have an axe to grind. dhaliwal less so.

one thing that occurs to me is that perhaps petey and hughes are making it known they are very unhappy and hinting that their continued presence here depends on changes. they will have figured out who is running the show by now.

Yeah, agreed. That's probably the most positive thing I've heard regarding the Canucks management in a while.

Horvat also threw shade on management recently.

Don’t know if Hughes would given his family connection to Weisbrod.

Yeah, I am not vouching for his accuracy. I am no Sekeres fan, or a fan of any of the western conference media for that matter.

When is the “good news” to be announced?

Sat Shah mentioned that it should be clear whats going to happen essentially as soon as the season is over on Wednesday.

I’ve heard that about the from office but nothing about a change in ownership representation.

 

[TraderJim]

Yeah, I can't really find a tweet that represents that either. Seems to only be about the front office. Maybe he said it on the radio? I'm not sure. Only passing 2nd-hand knowledge, sorry.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

This thread is giving me a Rathboner right now. Keep going; I’m almost there.

 

[arttk]

So what is Roberto aquilini like? Is he actually competent?

 

[MS]

I’ve heard that about the from office but nothing about a change in ownership representation.

I can find people re-tweeting a quote to the extent that Luigi will be handing the reins to Roberto because FA is too closely tied to Benning but not where the quote is from. Sekeres’ radio spot?

 

[TraderJim]

It is just a lot of people referencing Sekeres basically it seems.

 

[BWJM]

Watch it end up something like this.

President: Mike Gillis
GM: Kevin Weekes
HC: Lane Lambert

If we are getting new management, why in the heck was Benning allowed to extend Pearson to that God Awful contract?

 

[I am toxic]

A full house clean would make my year. This should of happened 4 years a go.

6, but yeah.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Davidson Gorton for the love of god.

An easier, more obvious, more convenient, bigger upgrade couldn't fall into your lap if you owned an actual leprechaun.

 

[Vector]

If we are getting new management, why in the heck was Benning allowed to extend Pearson to that God Awful contract?

Ownership is extremely reactionary to public perception and the grumbling from fans as the team increasingly bottomed out and no visible leadership from management has made retaining them untenable. Same reason Oilers let Chirelli extended Koskinen.

 

[I am toxic]

Oh. I had no idea.

Because the pundits voted Benning like 7th best GM last year, told us we owed him an apology, and that the Canucks were sitting in the best position to end Canada's Cup drought.

Huh.

 

[Cupless44]

Yes but now that the local media is on this in tweets the momentum grows...
