So when I said players don't tank, I meant that. But that doesn't mean owners don't try to tank. Clearly that's what they're doing here. Players will still try their hardest (well most will) and coaches will try to win (which is why tanking owners will hire incompetent coaches).
Maybe in a couple years there might be like 3 players still on the team.

It’s all a little over dramatic allbeit it was drawn out
He picked up the option he had to continue coaching, couldn’t turn the team around, and subsequently was replaced as is almost always the case with new management.
Wasn’t pretty and was obviously handled very poorly but it was inevitable

Imagine you were well respected at work, and all of your co-workers knew you’d be fired in the near future, but you continued with your work doing your best. How would you like that?

Your original comment was Allvin was a POS for his final comment, I simply replied, what else was he supposed to say? Like I said before, if BB was on his 1st year of a new contract ie 3yr, 4yr, etc would everyone still be on BB side the way everyone is right now? Don't kid yourself, this fan base has always been so side blind/tunnel vision. We've seen how fans turn on a a player/ coach in an instant and this scenario isn't any different. Die a hero or live long enough to be a villain. BB is the former and if he stayed any longer, I can guarantee it would've been the latter. Quote:

Coaches don't dictate wins and losses. That's why they call it a hockey team. The team is bad, the coaching wasn't working, and the management is bad for the team they put together. The coach is always the sacrificial lamb though. That's why you get a few million and don't have to get put into the boards. They know the deal.
That said, the lack of loyalty and high school style shit talk from upper management could resonate through the organization for a while.

Is Tocchet going to get trolled with 'Bruce there it is' chants at Rogers arena? I can totally see this happening towards the end of the game if the Canucks are getting blown out.

Yah, there may be extra reasons for giving BB all the love, namely as a reaction to the hate towards this mgmt team. BB was doing the best that he could given the poor D players that he was working with. It is clear that this team can score but ...
As for 'Bruce there it is chants', we shall see on Tues ... with Blackhawks in town for Lunar NY theme night. Anyone going?

Anyone going? | I'll support the team by watching the games on TV. -not buying tickets from the Canucks because A) my money is being used for red pockets to kids for Chinese New Year  and B) it's my way of protesting against the dysfunctional management of this team and a meddling owner who does not know shit about NHL hockey.
Talk about being insincere to a respected coach. Rutherford has been bad mouthing Boudreau for months, and now offers an "apology" to Bruce.
This idiot along with Allvin could not even manage a 7-Eleven properly. 
Greedy ass organization which keeps making those ugly Chinese New Year jerseys to sell at exorbitant prices. There are actually fans who would buy that ugly merch?

^ players won't be able to wait to get the F out of here. So it goes back to why would owners go and recycle JR as Prez. Buck stops there and the present dysfunctional culture of the whole organization is on him.

The dysfunction with the Canucks starts with the owner.
It was Aquilini who hired Boudreau.
Then Aquilini hired Rutherford. Then Rutherford hired Allvin.
Although JR said that he and Boudreau have known each other for many years, Rutherford did not make the hiring decision to have Bruce as the coach.
If things went south for this team this season, and boy has it been bad, Rutherford can always pin the blame on Boudreau for the team's failure. Bruce was not his coach. JR criticized the team's lack of defensive structure during Q and A's with reporters. A not so subtle dig at Bruce.
All this shit happening with the humiliating firing of Bruce and the terrible management of this team smells like rotten blueberries at Aquaman's farms.

Interesting…
Tocchet puts JT back at centre.
Good luck with that.
Studnicka is on the first line with Bo and Brock.
Petey with the two Russians makes sense. They would generate scoring opportunities.
No Ethan Bear.
Monday #Canucks practice lines
Studnicka-Horvat-Boeser
Dries-Miller-Garland
Mikheyev-Pettersson-Kuzmenko
Joshua-Lazar-Lockwood

Single handedly destroyed what little respect the organization had in the eyes of the other teams, the players, and the fans across the league.
I've always said, if we could fire the owner, we should.
In other news, congrats to Brooke Henderson. Number one ranked at 25 years old. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/canada...ings-1.6242092
Bo Horvat should wear a jersey with a question mark to the All Star Game, gulolol.

Aqua is running the team exactly how a typical old school italian owner/developer in the city runs their companies. I went through 5 senior vp's (not exaggerating this #) in my first yr working for one and ended up just reporting directly to the billionaire owner that fired them all who was as old school italian as it gets. Some of those VP's were assholes but some were good people that were just not given a chance because they wouldn't carry out some bat shit order from the boss. No recruiters would send any more candidates over and everyone had to perform multiple roles that they were not qualified to do. He would often remind me that a billion people born a day, he can surely hire someone to replace me if I didn't do what he asked. Imagining how he would run the team is exactly how I think its currently ran if aqua's dad has input into what goes on with team operations

It makes some sense now about why the Canucks are in their current state. Godfather Aquaman has always been pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I can imagine some of the bat shit crazy hiring decisions that Aquaman and his Dad had input and influence in the decisions.
Hiring Tortorella for example. The team hired Torts because of one Stanley Cup on his resume and his Italian heritage?
Aquaman wanted to hire one of his Italian brothers as coach?
