Tocchet Do We Really Need Him

How about this? I’ll delete my account here and stop covering the Canucks for CanucksArmy or Twitter.

Don’t ever question my morals or values.

That's fair but this is the owner of the team:

One child recalled an incident in which they say their father began beating them while they were sleeping and continued to beat them until they woke up. Another remembered being punched in the stomach by Francesco Aquilini.

In the most lengthy passage Hunter read for the court, one child described their father becoming angry with the children because they were being too loud in the family rec room.

"The respondent [Francesco Aquilini] then forced all of us upstairs into our individual rooms, went to each room to physically abuse each child. I saw the respondent throw another child — at that time five years old — across the room," the affidavit says.

f***ing sickening.

It is and I've commented on it before. The entire family has done horrible stuff that's resulted in the deaths of others. I've also known how horrible the Aquilini's, especially Francesco is, for a very long time.

I can choose where to draw the line and make it as arbitrary as I want.

I would absolutely do the same.

I would just focus on NBA and NFL and maybe Rugby to get my sports fandom fix.
 
Q should never be anywhere near an NHL bench again and anyone seriously suggesting him is insane.

I agree but he has been reinstated and there were articles saying teams have shown interest. Keep in mind that Babcock got another NHL head coaching job and Stan Bowman got another NHL GM job. There's also some pushback against "cancel culture" these days.

There's also the Penguins sexual assault scandal that was covered up when Rutherford was GM.
 
Q is a great coach but after what happened in Chicago he should not get a job in the NHL ever again. I'd rather Willie D coaches this team again than Q.
Babcock is jerk and a bully but what he did pales in comparison to what Q and Stan Bowman did. If Babcock can't coach in the NHL then neither should Q. Oilers are a joke of a franchise for hiring Stan and karma is bitting them in the ass since he is a joke of a GM without his dad playing advisor.

Cancel culture is not what this is about.
 
I know it’s hypocritical of me to post what I’m about to say but I kind of have to…we’re pretty far afield of talking about Tocchet and it’s time to pull the conversation back on topic.

If he does leave voluntarily, that’s about as damning an indictment on management as you can get from the guy who works most closely with them - don’t think that has really happened in Canucks history to date.

It would make me have to re-evaluate almost everything management has said to date from a completely different lens.
