Didn't Gillis want Sutter and Pouliot for Kesler? Hard to believe some people think Gillis should be re-hired here or anywhere else. Burke and Nonis made the guy.Strangelove wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:52 pmInteresting!ESQ wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:53 am Did anyone catch Kesler on 650 yesterday? It's kind of ancient history, but it was fascinating as he dug in to his NTC waiver.
He said he'd waived in-season to 6 or 7 teams - Colorado, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Anaheim, Detroit, Rangers...can't recall who else. He really thought the Pittsburgh deal was done, and was super choked at Gillis for not following through.
Then in his first call with Benning, he tells him the 6 teams is down to 2 - Anaheim and Chicago. Acknowledges it's not for anything that Benning did but rather was punishment for what Gillis didn't do, and said Benning blew his top but he respected that he ultimately got it done.
I think it mostly corroborated what HW had already reported, but it was fascinating to hear how choked he was that the Pittsburgh deal fell apart and they went on to win the Cup without him.
Fucking Gillis...

Ever notice how much Jennifer Botterill looks like Bruce Jenner?

Wayne Simmonds was well within his right to go after Alex Edler yesterday. Canuck fans need to find a new thing to complain about.

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Geez the local media is in a tizzy today about the Canucks doing a major organizational housecleaning.
Sekeres, Price, and their guest today Jeff Paterson were practically giddy in anticipation a huge shakeup that they believe is around the corner with Greener, Jimmy, and even Big Frank getting the hook in favor of the likes Roberto Aquilini and Geoff Courtnall.
Today was the first time I have listened to the new podcast version of their old radio show, which I tuned into very sparingly before. https://sekeresandprice.com/

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
Sekeres and Price are obsessed with getting Gillis and Gilman back in the chair. It’s in sickness. They want them and the Courtnalls running things
The Courtnalls have zero experience running an NHL franchise
Idiots

Re: Vancouver's Hockey "Media"
It was Geoff Courtnall who sold Gillis to Big Frank and the family. Frank identified Trevor himself and despite Trevor's determination not to get back into the game, made him an offer he ultimately couldn't refuse.
But yeah, Geoff has long been a connected guy...
