Maybe this Canucks malaise IS pertly a Covid hangover. We don’t know exactly how the team Covid outbreak started last year, that got almost all players, and their families, sick. @ThomasDrance @risingaction @SatiarShah @DhaliwalSports
Something obviously to do with Gaudette, despite denials that’s why they suddenly shipped him out. Whether he was well liked or not in the room, it’s no doubt some were his buddies and had to take sides in the aftermath.
Then the whole thing of Benning not having the players’ back on the return to play schedule. Plus, like the rest of the world, there’s probably division about vaccination, so despite them all saying the right things, the Hamonic situation is likely still divisive.
Not to mention Sutter’s long Covid as a result of whatever protocols were breached originally, which has probably left a bad taste in some players mouths. From a communication and trust standpoint the whole Covid scenario has been a clusterf**k.
It’s a shame and an outright mgmt failure, because it all could have been something to bring the team together with the right mgmt leadership. People in general are wondering how to bring divided families back together. Perhaps the Canuck “family” is equally broken.
Just another point in the litany of reasons why there needs to be a complete “house clean”. #Canucks

Being a #Canucks fan does not mean putting your head in the sand. It means you want the team to do well and ultimately win a Cup. There are many factors in “doing well”. Hopefully you have an owner with deep pockets. The Aquilinis have not held back.
@ThomasDrance @SatiarShah
Then you want serious ownership that hires good people and supports them. Francesco started out by hiring a very innovative GM in Gillis who clearly was all about treating players well so they had an environment to be the best version of themselves.
@passittobulis @risingaction
Almost won a Cup. Damn, almost! Imagine the difference if that had happened. But it didn’t. And that’s where things took a seemingly irrevocable turn. As soon as there was struggle, Gillis’ solution was not acceptable to FA, and the interference began. @SadClubCommish

Every fan can probably mimic #DayToDayBenning in this coming presser… and that’s not a good thing. So here we go…

“I understand why people are upset, you know, like, it’s not the start we wanted. We made a lot of changes, you know, and brought in OEL and Garland and stuff, and like it takes time to get everyone on the same page…
And its been difficult with injuries to our PK, you know, Sutter and Motte and stuff. Travis has been doing his best in their absence and, like, it takes time to get them playing together. It’s not a good start, but it’s a long season. There’s time to turn this around…
