Make of this what you will. Canucks' GM Mike Gillis left his perch before the third period. We're just saying it might mean something

Canucks traded for Perry. I have a source.

 

[Bgav]

So Dan is officially done? I know his contract is not being renewed in August, but what about between now and then?

He was fired

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Oh snap.

Just saw that as well. The media makes me chuckle.

[Gillis watching the game with the brass.]

Gillis - "Well, I've got to use the men's room. Excuse me, gentlemen."

Brass - "Later."

Media -

Of course, now that I've said that, watch this be the one time they've got it right and something of Biblical proportions goes down.

 

[deadinthewater]

Went to go get the participation trophies

Another one.

 

[John Bender*]

Bring Malhotra back.

 

[Pip]

Oh snap.

dayym

this just in Canucks have singed [insert fourth liner here], Schroeder has been sent down

 

[LiquidSnake]

That's not what I heard. Sounded like a mindless rant from an angry fan, and the host absolutely correctly pointed out that when you're not good, you can work your ass of and look like you're not even trying.

Disagree. The effort outside of the Sedins rarely seems to be there. Especially when theyre down.

 

[John Bender*]

He was fired

No he wasn't, they just elected not to renew his contract - which is up in August.

 

[LiquidSnake]

So Dan is officially done? I know his contract is not being renewed in August, but what about between now and then?

I think so. Because I doubt they'd announce it otherwise about him not being renewed.

heard it was E5

 

[Royal Canuck]

This is hilarious. CKNW is just a joke.

Why are you bringing up Marc Crawford and Game 6 of the Cup Final??

 

[Catamarca Livin]

For starts, we would/should be healthier.

Kesler is coming back. Are we throwing the year away because Booth got hurt. Ottawa is not tanking and they have reason to tank. If anything this could be like the 94 Canuck team that had a bad regular season after winning the division twice. They made the trade with the Blues and made made a run in the playoffs. W Kesler coming back and hopefully some other deadline trades i see no reason this team cannot make a run. Give them 4 NHL centermen and see what they can do. Of course i like to think playoff Bieksa is a possibility as well.

"They're trying their best..."

My new favourite AV analysis.

Hmmm... If that isn't a cry for help to Gillis I don't know what is.

 

[BrandonL]

Oh snap.

I assume Gillis just wanted to get a good seat in the dressing room for the presentation of the participation ribbons and orange slices.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Le sigh. Just can't buy a goal right now.

Breakouts still suck.

Ballard finally gets into a game, plays well, then promptly ****s up royal on the 3-1 goal.

Lu also needs to stop that 3-1 goal.

Team full of grinders with no hands right now; Schroeder on the 4th line was laughable, again. Played well, made good plays, but it's not like Sestito and Wiese are going to convert those chances, is it?

Ebbett getting prime PP and PK time. Well, why not.

I don't think Backstrom had to make one hard save tonight. Everything aside from the 1 PP goal (finally broke the streak. Whoop-de-do) was either wide, high or directly at him.

Faceoffs are, of course, terrible right now. Again.

[mod edit]

Shoot the team. Clearly the only answer.

 

[Pip]

and Hansen, that guy "gives er" every night

 

[canucksfan]

Oh snap.

Probably had to take a crap

 

[LiquidSnake]

This is hilarious. CKNW is just a joke.

Why are you bringing up Marc Crawford and Game 6 of the Cup Final??

I thought the same thing. I shut off both stations. I'm out.

 

[enuck]

Bring Malhotra back.

Think another team would be willing to pick Malhotra up? I would say not a chance, there's a reason he's not in the line up.

 

[Bgav]

Thats what you call, a massive ****

NugentHopkinsFan moaning about Booth in a game he didn't play in. Again. Get a life. Seriously.

Brilliant!

 

[Nuckles]

One can only hope that Gillis has plans to make some big moves.
