I'm not a fan of WD. As a business owner and someone who works high up in other companies I'd can his ass immediately for such comments. Zero tolerance for that kind of B.S.

WD's trying to change a culture. He's in the dressing room with it all the time, it's up to management to listen to him.

You don't throw your boss under the bus like that publicly.

There's a whole lot of blame to be thrown around but you don't take internal business decisions public like that. That's my opinion.

I was bugging them yesterday .

There poll question was was it a bad choice not taking Tkachuk

I sent them a message " I don't know if a company that chose Pratt and Jake Edwards over Scott Rintoul should be polling the public about bad choices"

It shows a lack of professionalism on his part.

Dude, the organization has not looked professional in years. I'll blame that much on the owner.

Gillis and Linden were both hired pretty shadily. Didn't Linden deny a link between him and the Canucks days before he was hired?

Ya know​

Analytics say this guy is a bust.

He only put up 6 'ya know's' in 1:35 of Canucksdotcom interview time. That's way below Boeser's 673/60 yaknow rate.

I just don't know if he's legit, ya know?

Who knows.

At this point I don't think Benning and Linden care about what Willie wants. It's a stealth tank/ showcase for the kids and WD isn't onside. He is finished in Van
- CanuckDon

The way it has been going ill be surprised if he gets another job ever as a head coach.. If management is telling you to play the kids and your not (if this is the case) why would any other GM ever hire you? They cut the checks..

It's BS to play the kids, despite what management has come out and said publicly if they aren't going to play hard.

You play the kids to see what they have, and if they don't have the heart for it their ass should be on the sidelines. That's about the only way to coach effort.

As I said to you weeks back you know nothing about this draft class. I bet you haven't watched any of the top 20 players play more than 5 games this year.

If I threw out any name i bet you couldn't answer their three best qualities.

It is bizarre to have your head hockey guy having such a close relationship with some of the players.

That and the constant mixed messages.
Saying he couldn't tell the Sedins that the Canucks were going for a re-build did it for me.
