so rogers and bell get their yes man... fantastic

 

[SteveV*]

Nonis just said he won't talk about "PENDING transactions" concerning Luongo. Major slip!!!

 

[Faustus]

Brushing off Luongo questions in a pretty unconvincing manner...


Also, what SteveV said - was that a slip?

 

[DD03]

LOL NONIS following Burke's footsteps

What else is he suppose to say?

 

[TheKule]

I would love this, but I'm verrrrrrrry leery of the reasoning.

But seriously, Burke was terrible. 1 elite player acquired in 4 years, possibly 2 if Gardiner works out. That's pathetic.

Takes me back to the time when Fletcher was a puppet.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

"Can't talk about any pending transacations, it doesn't help anything along"?? Lulz

[Stolie the Goalie]

Nonis looks confused and its like he's about to cry or was crying beforehand lol

What about Rielly? He could be the best player from his draft.

 

[Jumptheshark]

This in an interesting turn of events

 

[Darch]

Who's team president now?

 

[AndMat*]

Im Not Happy at all **** **** **** **** ****

Definitely looks like he just finished crying.

 

[Sokil]

"we can't discuss players (Luongo)"

- follow up question -

"Did Luongo play a factor?"


facepalm

 

[TML g u n n e R s*]

What else is he suppose to say?

just sounded the exact same way burke would have said it.

i dont know why but Nonis is looking like a puppet..

 

[fahad203]

What did Nonis say about Loungo?

 

[DaveT83*]

Nonis needs to start distancing himself from Burke.

PATIENT

PATIENCE

Thank you Nonis

 

[headwire]

Nonis stating that he's more impatient is reassuring.

Haha, PATIENT, not impatient.

 

[G51 K81*]

Not liking the sounds of how this organization will be ran with Bell and Rogers.

 

[MajorityRules*]

It's obvious that Nonis has become new ownerships puppet, just like JFJ a puppet for the old ownership. He hasn't got a clue what to do now.

 

[Sokil]

Definitely looks like he just finished crying.

or hot boxing

 

[Yosho]

So they removed the boss of their hockey operations for reasons that had nothing to do with hockey, then?

Gotcha.

By "style", they're referring to his dress code. I always knew that sloppy tie would catch up to him.

 

[Mystifo]

I wouldn't be so sure to jump to that. It's likely Nonis wanted Lu regardless of what ownership thought.

Well Nonis is the guy who brought Lou to VAN so

Gotcha.

Tell yourself whatever you like, he's gone.
