Dude looks ALOT like Carl Childers and by all accounts, acts like him too
Might not be a bad thing... introduce ownership to a slingblade like Ol' Ma?

Any more smoke around GM place and the dire engines will start coming. Word out of Arizona sources say that Doan is pretty much out. Dorion is touted as the front-runner by some pundits, while Gary Mason is saying he's heard Dorion's chances are slim to nil.

Not a lot I'm seeing about the other names - maybe it really is between RJ, Gold, Langenbrunner, Bowness and Peterson and the lack of buzz is the tell.

Now theyre saying the fan backlash about PD has caused the Canucks to veer off of hiring him.

Again....what the fuck?!?!!

These guys must be the most inept management group in all of pro sports. Maybe ever. Rivalling the Millbury Islanders

I think the owners are looking for seasoned sycophants only

I would suspect this is 100% media bullshit as Vancouver media tries to 'out dipshit' Toronto media

Not since Mason Raymond's early years have Canuck fans cared about balls dropping.

Don't forget, the Geriatric said Letterkenny, Cootes, 1st round pick in the lineup next year.

What are seasons tickets going for now?

It would be so Canucks to hire a GM now and worry about replacing JR later.

So he won't be around to shoehorn Letterkenny, Cootes and whoever they pick in this draft onto the roster just to entice the fans with puppy-power. I'm down...
