It is also a gamble it could be full capacity by Olympic break or it could be zero attendance.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush 8-)
Of course it’s about money.

This pandemic stopped being about health and about money and politics about 18 months ago.

Mr Aquilini isn't Rogers or Bell. I can't really blame him for postponing games. I'd postpone them too if I were in his position.

I agree Megs.

To rats point all the more reason to want bigger gates this year.

Plus every game he obtains plus 50% helps pay for Green and Benning.

He is not worried bout paying for TG and JB.

Billionaires count different than us normal folks.

They don’t count the individual dollars like we do month to month, they look at percentages.

As in 8.1234% rate of return vs. 8.1123 %.. then, they try to do better next year.

Isn’t it the league postponing the games, not the individual teams. I mean, the league loses big revenues on empty stadiums.

Why he should sell half the team to a Rogers or Bell, to help cover costs in this Covid world.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Leaves have lost 7 of their last 12 games.

Two of those losses were to the Vancouver Canucks.

Thoughts Tuna? :mex:

That annual fan/media dog pile on the leaf crease is early this year.

Was thinking last night, Tukka Rask just retired and he was traded because Pogge was the goalie of the future.

LOL
