Jimmy is gonna hit them fried chicken joints super hard in Vancouver tonight..

JR is a jackass. He showed blind faith for Sullivan who has slowly destroyed this team for 6yrs straight and now hates on Boudreau because the idiot he stole from the Pens (thank you btw) was never ready to be GM and never fixed the joke of a defense in Vancouver and because of the cap, dumped away depth in the bottom 6 they needed to hang on to...right.

I'm a pens fan defending Bruce. Feels weird.

 

[DearDiary]

What exactly did he say? Or is this threads discussion just going to be off an interpretation? To me, 15-20 times seems like a huge exaggeration without direct quotes

Ruthorford didn't even need a few years to start his bullshit.

Although as a Canucks fan this is really disappointing to hear, the reality is that several of Bruce’s lineup decisions have frustrated even the most optimistic of us.

I was so happy for the changes & leading the Boudreau cheering section after he was hired.

However, as much as I’ve enjoyed his Press Conferences & Interviews with his ability to relate, I‘m coming to think a change is needed.

I have questions about Jim Rutherford & the direction this new management group has taken, but I just want a Team that I can cheer for again with some hope on the horizon.

Thank you for posting this interview @Marc the Habs Fan . Again, not easy to listen to, but appreciate the information.

Hopefully brighter days are ahead in the not too distant future.

That was not linked in the OP or tweet, it was just referenced. My point is don't rush to post a tweet exaggerating a claim 15-20 times in an interview without linking the actual source

Old boys club ....JR isnt the only one in it. Burke and Hextall are doubling down on Sullivan even though he lost 5 straight play off series followed up with a 7 game skid mark (and counting ) with a new extension too boot. If JR is a Jack ass for keeping Sullivan .......Hextall is the dump the jack ass took upon leaving Steeltown ha !!

Some guys keep their jobs longer than they probably deserve simply because they are buddies with the boss......nothing more

 

[Bounces R Way]

Then fire him Jim. You're the guy ostensibly in charge right?

Maybe they need a couple more AGMs.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Jesus, was JR boozing? Took too many edibles? Decided to one up Boston for front office stupid for old time rivalries sake?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

What did he say?

 

[Ace]

From the front page you can only see “Jim Rutherford goes“ before you click on this board.

i was really hoping it was going to say “bananas”

 

[Zman5778]

Hmmmmm. I think it actually kind of matters, Jim.

 

[credulous]

speculation is that ownership won't let him. either because they don't want to pay a 3rd coach this season (travis green is still on the payroll) or because they bought into the bruce there it is garbage

jp tried real hard to trash boudreau every chance he got when boudreau was deciding whether or not to exercise his option

 

[Debrincat93]

Way to put Alvin in a shitty spot. quality guy there.

I mean he loses who - Hamonic, Dickinson etc and he has to move players that don't fit into those roles, into those roles and hope it works. JR/Allvin did nothing to really help Bruce this season. They kept Miller, added two wingers and then took away some responsibility on defense in the process because of the crappy cap situation they're in.

How is that Bruce's fault?

Way to put Alvin in a shitty spot. quality guy there.

Even funnier when JR is Alvin's mentor, he was never close to being ready. He just plucked his yes man and called it a win.

JR lost his bananas years ago.

 

[Dr Robot]

We went from "Canucks are gonna be great because of Bruce" at the end of last year to "Bruce sucks, fire him" 10 games into this year. The knee jerk extremes are a little ridiculous don't know think?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

So much for Boudreau getting a new contract this year

 

[Mrfenn92]

Pretty shitty by jr to shit on the coach. No mention of the roster he inherited/constructed.

 

[unicornpig]

Grandpa didn’t take his crazy pills today

i think this is him taking a shot at ownership more than anything

 

[SI90]

Jimmy being the opposite of Lou!! Airing everything out and letting his cards show lol guy just burnt down the Carter!

Paraphrasing but this is. Amazing lol “ we want to keep our captain but if he keeps being a good player we’re going to trade him” lol
