News Article: Rachel Doerrie has left the Canucks

[wonton15]

Possibly…but this is probably a better topic for them to divert attention from Francesco.

Unless this is also about Francesco. Which might be why there’s radio silence.

Also entirely possible.

I checked out Doerrie's twitter account and her banner image is just text that says "LET THEM HATE, JUST MAKE SURE THEY SPELL YOUR NAME RIGHT". That's a pretty weird message.

Fwiw, she unliked the FAQ tweet

Fwiw, she unliked the FAQ tweet

Not on twitter. Is that a thing and if so, when one "unlikes" something, is that recorded somewhere for public to see, or does it just happen and if you didn't see the original "like", you wouldn't know it happened at all?

You can go to someone's profile and click on "likes" and it'll have all the tweets they've liked.

I actually just looked and it's still there.

Like I said, she didn't play the game. And it was great in a media setting, but you could actively watch her burning bridges.

That said, there is still seemingly a different standard for females. Brian Burke has been a self-involved, self-promoting asshole for 40 years and he's still getting NHL jobs.

I mean, I was surprised by the hire. If you listened to that podcast where she burned bridges with New Jersey, and then went on about the Hughes family being toxic, suggested EP's wrist injury was really him quitting on the team, and IIRC saying J.T. Miller was anti-vax, it seemed absolutely libellous and I was surprised the Canucks didn't do their due diligence.

I think based on that tweet, we can assume it has something to do with the Aquilini legal issues. Since the tweet happened this afternoon, and not last night when she got "fired." So why would she like the tweet if that was not the reason she was let go.

if i was just fired and then the owner of the company was publicly disgraced the next day, i would have to restrain myself from smashing that like button

i mean i would probably be able to restrain myself but i would really really want to do it

I'm familiar with restraining orders.

I can’t think of many examples otherwise so I’m going to say that pretty much all new owners that come into major sports are generally better than the ones they replace.

This being a more recent trend - let’s say the last 15-20 years or whatever.

Most of these new owners are self made. Not inherited.

Francesco was certainly better than McCaw

frank sr > arthur > mccaw < francesco

but frank sr definitely still > francesco

arthur too, or at least for a not very smart trust fund baby arthur didn't also give off the stench of human garbage or play shadow GM afaik

Not many people quit out of principal these days. Linden stepped down cause he didn’t see eye to eye with the owner.

As an employee you have to decide what you can and can’t accept. Nothing wrong with having different opinions and voicing them, but the final decision on the course of action belongs to someone else.

Never a good look to burn bridges. Especially in such a narrow industry where the people know one another. They will find out through back channels what went down.

I don't disagree. I just find it interesting that so many people attacked Benning for not saying no to Aquilini or taking the job in the first place if he really did disagree with him, but I don't see the same posters who are also attacking FA now calling for management to quit.

 

[Love]

I was destroyed by some on here for criticizing the team when they hired her. Doerrie made up a completely fabricated BS rumour about EP then was hired by the team a few months later lol. She’s a loudmouth grifter and that was obvious from the very beginning. Not surprised at all that she’s been canned and the team is better off for it.

 

[rypper]

... she's still employed by the team.

Maybe cause I’m more old schooled in my thinking in terms of employer/employee relationship but in her role as part of management, you are expected to protect the brand.

If you don’t believe in the brand anymore then you should move on.

 

[bandwagonesque]

No time for the Doerrie Coulter comparison.

I'm not really comparing them as people in any meaningful way. I'm saying Doerrie gave me a similar instant feeling of, "this person has no social skills and any time spent listening to them is painful" that preceded what they were actually trying to say. And yeah -- I think that's Doerrie's main problem. Coulter has much bigger ones.

With regards to everything Doerrie has put out that has rubbed people the wrong way - JT antivax, the EP sitting out when healthy, Luke Hughes character/injury recon, everything else whatever - I can’t remember a single one of those being categorically refuted by anyone who didn’t have immense gain from refuting it. On the other hand, no one has really backed up those Doerrie statements either AFAIK.

Whether you want to believe Doerrie would throw out bullshit during her podcasting days is up to you, but I don’t think anyone has come out and refuted anything she’s said to where you can confidently say she fabricated everything. Again, to acknowledge the other side of it, maybe it is all nonsense.

I just don’t see where people get the confidence to say “ha, liar!”

Who is this Benning you talk of and how is he related to anything current in Canuck world?

People seem to be repeating this now as if its true.

Im 99% sure Rachel said that management wanted EP to play through the injury and he refused.

 

[nowhereman]

The optics look bad.

Workplace equality needs to be just that - equal. If someone deserves to be fired, regardless of gender, "optics" shouldn't be a factor. I was very confident in the Castonguay and Granato hires but I was always suspect of Doerrie. From what I could gather (hearing her podcast and reading her Twitter), she didn't seem to have the professionalism for the role and her youth appeared to be a big factor in that. I wouldn't be surprised if she crossed a line or two.

EP one was certainly false, considering he didn't start shooting until pucks until July 2 months after the season ended

Canucks' Elias Pettersson resumes shooting pucks after wrist injury

Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson has resumed shooting after a wrist injury forced him to miss the final 30 games of the season.

www.sportsnet.ca

And Pettersson himself said if the Canucks had made the playoffs, he'd have to play on painkillers because he wasn't 100%

"If Vancouver had advanced to the playoffs, I could have played, but then it would have been on painkillers," Pettersson said. "I am practicing full time now, I have moved to Stockholm and have been practicing hard all summer."

Probably well deserved if true. Doerrie has no professionalism whatsoever. I don’t doubt she’s smart but she needs to learn to shut her goddamn mouth/stop posting for five seconds.

I’m not just saying “ha, liar!”. It is verified that what she said was untrue. But you can go dyor on that.

If this lady is actually a completely toxic, loose-cannon type it really does beg the question who approved this hiring in the first place.

Fairly typical for this gong show of an organization, all things considered, though.

If I were JT I would have made firing her ass a condition of me signing!
