SO YOU THINK YOU’RE UPSET ABOUT THE WAY THE CANUCKS PLAYED LASTNIGHT…
YOU’VE INVESTED 80 GAMES OF YOUR TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS TEAM…FOR WHAT???
UNLESS THE CANUCKS GET SOME HELP FROM EITHER ST. LOUIS OR CHICAGO…THIS TEAM WILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE LAST THREE YEARS…
NOW TRY AND IMAGINE THE EMOTIONAL STATE OF THE OWNER…FRANCESCO AQUILINI…
HE’S GOT ABOUT $300 MILLION INVESTED…AND THAT DOES NOT COUNT THE MILLIONS HE SPENT FIGHTING A CIVIL SUIT TO KEEP THE TEAM…
IN THE 4 YEARS AQUILINI HAS BEEN AN OWNER…HE HAS SEEN HIS TEAM WIN “ONE”…COUNT ‘EM…”ONE” PLAYOFF ROUND…
TOUGH TO TAKE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THIS FRANCHISE HAS HAD ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAY ROLES IN THE NHL…
TOUGHER YET IF THE CANUCKS LOSE THE FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT THIS SEASON TO NASHVILLE…A FRANCHISE THAT PAYS IT’S PLAYERS NEARLY $20 MILLION DOLLARS LESS…
TALK ABOUT ADDING INSULT TO INJURY…
CERTAINLY THE PLAYERS…THE COACHES AND THE SCOUTS ALL DESERVE A PIECE OF THE BLAME…
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY…THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY ALWAYS LIES WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER…
DAVE NONIS HAS HAD THE JOB SINCE 2004…
GOOD OR BAD…WIN OR LOSE…THIS IS HIS TEAM…
SHOULD THE CANUCKS INDEED GO ONTO MISS THE PLAYOFFS…
THE IMMEDIATE QUESTION THAT MUST BE ANSWERED IS THIS…
WILL NONIS BE GIVEN THE TIME TO CLEAN UP THE MESS???
IF SO…THEN AQUILINI MUST PUBLICLY GIVE HIM THAT VOTE OF CONFIDENCE…
NO GENERAL MANAGER CAN GO INTO THE OFF SEASON WITH A GUN TO HIS HEAD…
LOOK AT HOW WELL IT WORKED OUT IN TORONTO…
IF NOT…THEN AQUILINI MUST START MAKING CHANGES IMMEDIATELY…
ONCE THE REGULAR SEASON IS OVER THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS WILL BE THE ENTRY DRAFT FOLLOWED FREE AGENCY…
WHATEVER HAPPENS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS…
ONE THING IS CERTAIN…THE CANUCKS WILL HAVE A WHOLE NEW LOOK BY SEPTEMBER…
THE ONLY QUESTION NOW IS FAR UP THE FOOD CHAIN THOSE CHANGES WILL GO…
