THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS MIKE GILLIS DOES NOT NEED ANYBODY TO FIGHT HIS BATTLES…
LET ALONE SOMEBODY IN SPORTS TALK RADIO…
AND HAVING DAVID PRATT AS THE “CALM SANE VOICE OF REASON” IS THE 7TH SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE…
BUT TODAY IN THE VANCOUVER PROVINCE…ED WILLIS TOOK A CHEAP SHOT AT GILLIS…
IT WAS UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED…IT ALSO GOT PERSONAL…
WILLIS MAKES NO SECRET ABOUT THE FACT HE IS…“NOT A HUGE FAN”…
NO KIDDING!!!
THE FOCUS OF TODAY’S ATTACK WAS ON THE 13 PLAYERS ON THE ROSTER WHICH GILLIS HAS BROUGHT IN…
WILLIS POSSED THIS QUESTION…
“HAVE ANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN “DIFFERENCE MAKERS” FOR THE CANUCKS???”
WELL TO BEGIN WITH…NONE OF THESE PLAYERS WERE BROUGHT IN TO BE “DIFFERENCE MAKERS”…
LAST SUMMER GILLIS SPENT MOST OF HIS MONEY GETTING THE SEDINS AND ROBERTO LUONGO SIGNED…
HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THAT DECISION???
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T NOTICE…HENRIK SEDIN IS NOW SECOND IN NHL SCORING…
WILLIS ALSO DROPPED THIS LITTLE GEM…
“YOU WONDER WHAT THE TEAM’S RECORD WOULD BE IF GILLIS HAD NOT FALLEN INTO A “MADE BED”…
“MADE BED???”…PLEASE!!!
THE TEAM GILLIS INHERITED IS THE SUMMER OF 2008…HAD LOST 7 OF IT’S LAST 8 GAMES…AND MISSED THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS…
TREVOR LINDEN’S FINAL GAME IN THE NHL…A 7-1 EMBARASSMENT…AT THE HANDS OF THE CALGARY FLAMES…
THESE CANUCKS DID NOT NEED A MAKE OVER…THEY NEEDED A HEART TRANSPLANT!!!
LET’S BE FAIR…
YOU CAN NOT JUDGE ANY GENERAL MANAGER IN ANY SPORT FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS…
BY THEN WE WILL KNOW THE IMPACT OF CODY HODGSON….YANN SAUVE…JORDAN SCHROEDER AND ANTON RODIN…
IN THE MEANTIME…THE CANUCKS ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE SINS OF “PAST MANAGEMENT”…
WHO’S FIRST ROUND PICKS INCLUDED THE LIKES OF…BRYAN ALLEN…NATHAN SMITH…R.J. UMBERGER…CORY SCHNIEDER…MICHAEL GRABNER…AND PATRICK WHITE…
EDDIE…RUNNING AN NHL FRANCHISE IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST…
YOU OF ALL PEOPLE…KNOW THAT!!!
